The Railway Tavern in Telford and Wrekin

Great friendly place with good selection of beer.

Lovely old pub. Lots of real ales.

Nice place. Only ever been in during the daytime and never had food but the pies in at the counter in the bar are top and the owner is a nice guy

The pub has recently been refitted/updated, and it is far better for it. Great range of real ales (I would say the most in Newport) and tgere was a good atmosphere. Very good place overall.

Beer always well served (every time we have visited), prices clearly displayed on a TV screen. Refurbished decor and plenty of real ale options available (black country and other breweries). Serves cobs and pork pies.

Went in for a couple of drinks, great atmosphere and pleasantly surprised by good selection of beers.

Thank you so much for taking care of us all at Mums Wake. Everything was perfect.

First visit to the 'Tav' with locals and it fully meets the British Standards for a pub with plenty of good beers on tap

Great old school pub, pretty decent atmosphere and ales

First timer ....bloody great pub💯

What a find! Dropped in here on our stay near Newport. A great friendly Pub with a knowledgeable landlord who knows his beers and keeps them in superb condition.

Great beer Staff and customers with good sense of humour

My kind of pub. Great ales and ciders. No meals but good cobs and little bits to eat, just what you want in a real pub. Good bar staff and lovely atmosphere. Really enjoy coming here.

Excellent atmosphere & customer service, always a very friendly welcome from Dean & Rachel. A 'gem' of a pub which is reflected in its popularity. Well worth a first-time visit for a fireside glass of beer & a locally sourced pork pie.😉

Great ale pub with cobs and scotch eggs and pork pies

Absolutely lovely, beautiful, friendly managers. I always measure a pub by the toilets these are 5* soo clean!! I am new to this place as my daughter lives in Newport- superb place. Highly recommended. Hairspray, body spray available in the ladies, it is wow.! Lovely cobs too 5* service. Regards, Theresa.

Did not try food as seems to be only Rolls and crisps. Present evening out with some family

Top pub at the top of the town. The beer is well organised with plenty on offer.

On a visit to see family who live in Newport we popped in here for a few pints, what a great little pub! The atmosphere is relaxed and the choice of beers is amazing, its nice to find an old fashioned pub that focus on the drinks rather than food. You can get a little snack as cobs and crisps are sold but nothing more. This place is a must visit while in Newport.

If you want a bit of history about Newport, there are photos of how it used to look like years ago. Staff are friendly, toilets are on site, the tables are very clean.

Lovely range of Black Country brewery cask ales and ciders including mild and sloe cider! The cheese, onion and black pudding cobs were delicious, well worth a try. Dog friendly with blankets, toys, treats and water bowls.

Good selection of cold snacks, love the blackpudding, cheese & onion Cob washed down with a great selection of Ales. All served with a Smile!

Best range of real ales in town, friendly staff and good atmosphere.

The new landlord here is brilliant and really friendly. Very welcoming and can't do enough for you. As well as that there is a great choice of beer and cider. The best pub in Newport by far.

This is now my local. Having been coming to Newport for over six years now I recently moved here. Pretty much on every visit I’d end up in The Tav with friends because it’s a proper pub that does proper beer. There’s also some decent music too. Dean and Rachel are the consummate hosts. And bloody good they are at it. The best pub in Newport by a country mile. 10/10

just lovely hosts & atmosphere. very welcoming. lovely place I would feel comfortable going on my own. Perfect

I live in Newport and over the years I have visited all the pubs in the area at one time or another. Without exception The Railway Tavern (The Tav), is the best in the area. The bar is part of the Black Country Ales stable and always has a large selection of ales and ciders in great condition and on tap. The management, Dean and Rachel, are friendly, helpful and fully committed to giving their customers a friendly welcome, a decent pint in a clean, comfortable and modern pub. I can honestly say you feel more like a member of their family than a customer. If you’re in the area don’t miss the opportunity to pop in, I guarantee you Rachel and Dean will give you a warm welcome.

The best pub in Newport by far. Dean and Rach are the most welcoming people you could come across. You are always promised a friendly reception and a relaxed comfortable atmosphere in The Tav. The fires are roaring in the winter and the roof terrace is heaving in the summer. You really can’t go wrong for an incredible local pub offering the best ales, ciders and cobs in town! And bingo night on a Thursday is always buzzing! Really couldn’t recommend a visit more. Top of the shop!

So much choice when it comes to real ale and larger

Great choice of beers, quiz night, bingo night, just a great place to spend an evening with lots of atmosphere.

Great beer, spotless, friendly, perfect

Fine cider, good ambience and good tunes :)

Lovely place,lots of real ales,ample seating nice and clean.

Outstanding pub, great beer and wonderful friendly team.

Excellent hosts and clean and warm environment. Always a warm welcome and good beer lovely crusty rolls.

Clean, warm and cosy with super friendly hosts Dean and Rachel. Selection of real ales on offer. Quiz and bingo nights.

Always a good pint, well kept, great choice. Friendly landlords.

We stopped in here for a quick drink while out walking in the area with family. What a find! Recently refurbished and with a new landlord and landlady they have turned this pub around. A very welcoming atmosphere and with lots of real ales available this is a proper drinking pub. The only food available are cobs, scotch eggs or pork pie from the bar. A note must be given about the toilets as they are immaculate and with a few toiletries and items for the ladies available to help yourself this is a great touch.

Absolutely fantastic pub excellent beers cobs to die for will definitely return respectable manager very polite 👍

what a brilliant find - Real ales and many to choose from..thank you Dean Rachel and barman Frank ...

Good selection of drinks and friendly staff

Lovely renovated pub with a top selection of local beers. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. If we still lived in Newport it would be our local. We highly recommend the Tav!

What can I say, second time in this pub and had an amazing time with landlords and locals alike. Asked to join their quiz team so I could socialise. With only 2nd visit Dean remembered me, a great asset for a landlord and made me feel welcome. If your in the area make sure you don’t miss this gem.

Good selection of well kept real ales. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Enjoyed the ham cob definitely worth poping in would recommend. A beer drinkers pub.

Brilliant beer, music and very welcoming pub. Great cobs also!

Dean and Rachel are great hosts beer is spot on and no idiots in the pub a great place to meet friends or family.

Absolutely beautiful pub. Friendly and welcoming, always time for a chat from the staff and managers. Absolutely spotless and very very clean. Sounds daft but, its a pleasure to use the loo and they are immaculate!!, unlike some places. Keep up the good work and see you all again soon!

Warm welcome excellent choice ales and ciders nice upstairs bet garden

Great choice of real ales, comfortable pub.

Greatly improved, friendly atmosphere, decent family pub

Lovely staff, excellent service, brilliant atmosphere

Fantastic service, Fantastic landlord and landlady, clean old school black country pub with a fantastic range of drinks what more can you ask more.

While visiting friends we called for a drink and not have had more friendly welcome drinks well priced will be back on the next visit

Great relaxed atmosphere, ultra clean, real fires. The hosts are welcoming & friendly, nothing too much trouble - we do a 40 mike round trip to go to this pub

Welcoming and friendly as always

Love this place, friendly staff/owners. My little girl loves the dog!

Excellent chose of real ales and ciders , dog friendly , a very pleasant pub to be in

Real fire roaring in the hearth and 12 ales on pump. Ladies toilets are immaculate. Whole pub is spotlessly clean. Lovely welcome and very friendly

Great pub, far bigger inside than you would imagine, very comfortable and a good range of beers.

Great welcome from the lovely hosts. Good selection of Real Ales available and sampled some lovely pints. Stayed for the Quiz (Weds night), great fun with the regulars....

Lovely traditional proper drinkers pub with a good selection of beer.

Good beer in a great atmosphere

Lovely couple run it as a friendly and quality pub

OMG! This pub is so lovely now. Perfect for everyone! This couple (whoever they are) have turned this place around! It was a doss hole before. I went with my husband, mom and Dad and daughter the other day and couldn't believe the change! They have so many ales on tap and everywhere is just so lovely. The women's toilet blew my mind with the care that had been put into making sure there were the essentials there! I have never experienced that in a pub before! They don't do food! The music was amazing and I could go on........

Great place and welcoming staff for a cold beer

Great selection of really good beer and fantastic prices. Staff are friendly and welcoming, first time there and would definitely go again.

Had a lovely time last night great atmosphere great beer and good company Lovely pork pie too and Dean is a great host! Thank you

I love the BCA pubs and have frequented many so was pleased to spot this place while visiting Newport. On entering we were greeted warmly and advised on the beers available which is the norm in BCA pubs. However, the longer we stayed it became apparent that this was different to other ones I have visited. The guys standing at the bar were loud and shouting across the pub....although it was friendly banter it could have made people feel uncomfortable. On this occasion I was with friends but I do enjoy visiting a pub in my own at times to sit with my book and a quiet pint.....as a woman I would not have felt comfortable in this establishment sitting on my own which is a shame.

Love black country ales. Have visited a few. Really pleased to find this in Newport. Positives friendly welcome, warm and clean. Good selection of ales and allowed to sample. Negatives , visited in early afternoon, several males bar hanging and "steaming" didn't feel comfortable, bar man loud shouting about football across the room to others watching the TV. Overall good beers but maybe the clientel will.let it down,believe this hadn't been open long and a mother close pub being refurbished so customers have decamped. Nice to have a real.pub but maybe caution needs tobe exercised to keep it in the tradition of black country ales

Good selection of Black Country beers...visited on a quiet Monday night so plenty of room...background music not obtrusive...landlord seems like a good guy!

Good pub great selection of beers warm atmosphere friendly landlord & landlady well done Dean & Rachel

Very good but then its owned by Black Country Ales so what do you expect

I like popping in here now and then. I am always made welcome by Dean and Rachel as if I was only there the day before. A clean and tidy place with clientele to match. It’s a real ale pub with a good selection of beers etc. It does what it says on the tin.

Another good couple of pints in here again

Brilliant pub, fantastic staff, a real pleasure to have a drink there.

Since Dean took over this pub is the place to be. The new decor is comfort with style, the staff are the friendliest you'll find anywhere, and the Landlord knows virtually everyone by name. The beer is always well kept and a wide variety. On top of that the food is excellent....the best Cheese Cobs ever!

A lovely pub bought back from the dead. So nice to see it back with a great new reinvention.........Fantastic!

We had been waiting to visit The Railway Tavern since before lockdown - with the lifting of the restrictions I drove from Brighton to visit my best friend in Newport. I was only there for the weekend but each evening we wandered down the road...

I'm sure it's fine for food and coffees but not really a traditional pub.

Really comfortable place to be and really kind and helpful staff

Great choice of beers, great staff and great atmosphere. Can't ask anymore from a pub.

Lovely pub ladies toilets was the best i have seen in a older pub clean inside to did not have that smell like other pubs do the landlord was very helpful xx

Recently refurbished pub, they have done it really well, plenty of real ales to choose from with big screens with info on them, good selection of other draught and spirits though too! Friendly staff, very cosy atmosphere, will definitely be returning

Absolutely excellent... all safety protocols in place and a great selection of ales.. very clean and staff helpful and pleasant

Great selection of beers and friendly staff.

Brilliant! Fantastic atmosphere, great selection of ales and ciders. Nice scenery! Would 1000% recommend

Great staff,clean and tidy boozer,will come again

Great selection of cask beers, reasonably priced, great welcoming staff. What more could you want?

Great selection of real ales. Only worry was that they were all strong beers.

My wife and I visited The Railway Tavern on Thursday 20 August . It reopened with new owners on the day before ( Wednesday 19 August 2020) with 6 real ales and a real cider on the handpumps. Customers have to enter by the front door on Upper Bar and leave by the rear door on Avenue Road. Once you have entered there is a signing in table where you leave contact details on a small form for tracing and some hand gel. The bar staff take your order at the table and bring the order to you. The staff were busy but still find time to spend time to speak to customers. The tables are well spaced out with a variety of low and high seated tables.

Staff are always really friendly, but on a really busy night they struggle (could do with an extra pair of hands I think). Good selection of drinks and often there is music on (either live or a DJ)

If you like Northern sole it's great and the drink are pretty cheap four pints £11 pound

BRILLAINT local always a joy. Great prices a good pint. Music and bands.

Live music Friday night, decent prices, vinyl playing DJ Saturday, northern soul and Scooter you tube videos, what's not too like . My mate said the Guinness didn't seem as good as others he had on the same night elsewhere but the Doom Bar and Golden Glow were ok.

Nice bar. Nice scooters nice vibes

Had great night...good atmosphere..good music...friendly staff & management

We'd heard about the pub having a 'scooter, northern soul' theme, and eventually got around to popping in. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that the landlord is an old friend who used to be involved with the scooter scene in Telford. We had a good catch up with each other. The pub is tasteful and comfortable. The drinks prices are very competitive too. We'll definitely be returning.

Expensive staff miserable poor

Very friendly staff, good atmosphere and a nice open layout with a recently refurbished look. My band enjoyed the gig and look forward to playing the venue again.

There is no longer sports there, even the pool table and darts have gone. The music is too loud, you're having to shout to hear each other. It's meant to be a pub not a club. There's no themed music nights, just the same music playing, and the duke box has gone so customers can't even choose what is being played... just not my kind of pub anymore
