Formerly known as The Railway Tavern, this is a small Badger pub/restaurant to the north of Mortlake Station. The pub entrance is on the north side, half way along the pub.

They now bill themselves as a Bar & Dining Room and have split the pub in half with the front area seemingly for diners and the back for pub goers.

The bar area has a few tables surrounded by chairs and sofas, and a fire at the back. There is not much sitting room and the bar itself is quite small.

The front area is divided into 2 with a few tables upstairs and the rest downstairs at street level. Food looked good and gastro-pubbish.

They serve Badger Ales (I suspect Tanglefoot, Badger Best and a seasonal --Billy) as well as Hofbraeu lagers, Guinness, Stella Artois, Dry Blackthorn and a selection of bottled lagers and ales. Prices range from �2.40 per pint for ale to �2.90 for Guinness/Stella (prices as of 2004-11)

The beer was alright, but was not perfectly kept.

The bathrooms are at the back of the bar end of the pub, reachable after successfully negotiating the seated area.
