Review of The Railway Arms

The Railway Arms
Price range: £9 - £20
Description: Saffron Walden's first community run pub and free house. Locally sourced beers, superb wines, an extensive list of drinks both alcoholic and non/alcoholic. Food trucks from 'Off The Beaten Truck' on Thursday evenings, pub quiz Sunday evenings. A proper local!

Lovely pub, really friendly staff. Great beer. Perfect stop for a post-ride beer 🍻
It’s currently undergoing a little makeover, can’t wait to enjoy there handy work.

We had a very enjoyable couple of drinks at this fabulous new community pub. Great selection of real ales and draught ciders, an interesting wine list and very reasonable prices. Speedy service too ... delighted to have this as my new local!
