Popular Wetherspoon pub in the town centre, created in 2001 from the semi-derelict former Bass-owned Granville Arms. Named after the famous railway engine designer, scion of a local family, who was raised and buried at nearby Netherseal.

The large, open plan, main drinking area, with low ceilings and a green and burnt orange decor, inevitably features many pictures and photographs with a railway theme. The airy conservatory at the side is used mainly for dining, with food served all day and alcoholic drinks available from 9am. Guest beers are often from local microbreweries.

Children are welcome up to 9pm. Free public car parks are nearby.
