Railway

Railway is my favorite bar when visiting the UK! Super convenient location- just a quick 5 minute train ride from Gatwick Airport. After a long flight from the States, it’s the perfect spot to grab a drink/bite to eat. Love the local/chill vibe here, and the bar staff is is 10/10- especially Ryan!! He makes the best cocktails, always has great drink/food recommendations, and is SO fun to talk to. Definitely recommend!!!

Depending on your disposition, walking into The Railway may feel a bit like The League of Gentlemen ("You're not from around these parts, are you?" and "This is a local pub for local people") but don't let first impressions fool you: this is a great boozer! True, there are mainly locals/regulars there, but it's a welcoming enough place for outsiders, too. Lots of screens for sports, a pool table, several games machines, 8-pint beer towers (should the mood take you!), outside seating, and very welcoming staff. So... it's a Stonegate pub, and the selection of drinks and menu is according to that chain's dictates. Having said that, my lasagne wasn't bad at all and part of the January special deals: who can complain about a main meal and a pint for a mere £6.74?! Taking about which, the prices in this place are almost rivalling Wetherspoons down the road but with incomparable atmosphere. Walk up from the town centre and wait for the railway barriers to open... it's worth the wait: you won't be disappointed!

On my layover at Gatwick, decided to visit the mall at Crawley. Whilst looking for a rest and a quick meal, I came across this lovely pub. Very friendly staff that seem to be working together well. Quick service. Good food. Good prices. Seems like a great place to be at any time of the week.
