Imposing busy locals pub, revived by the current licensees as a 'community pub'.

Inside, a clean but basic public bar with a pool table, and a comfortable H-shaped lounge. A hallway leading from the side entrance, with framed old photographs (mainly local) on walls, separates the main part of the pub from a smart restaurant.

Traditional pub food: breakfast (9am to 12 noon); main menu (from 12 noon); steak night Friday; Sunday carvery (to 3pm).

Outdoor drinking in covered area at side (primarily for smokers), and in beer garden (with patio and artificial grass) at rear. A marquee at the bottom of garden is available for hire.

Bingo night Wednesday; live music Friday evening; disco/karaoke Saturday evening.

Historic Interest

Dating back to at least 1830, the pub was originally a beer-house called the Wideshaft after a short-lived adjacent colliery; it was recorded as the Old Wideshaft in 1875. Bought by Eadie’s Brewery in 1883 and later renamed the Railway Inn after a nearby railway line known as the Swadlincote Loop (variously constructed over the period 1826 – 1882; closed 1964). Eadie’s was taken over by Bass in 1932. In 1999, Bass sold the pub to the Mansfield Brewery, which was taken over by Wolverhampton & Dudley (now Marston’s) later that year.
