Next door to Wendover Station, so the ideal spot for the start of any crawl of Wendover, this is one of this is one of Greene King’s 'Chef & Brewer' chain of — according to their website — “traditional country pubs that serve delicious food and stock a range of expertly-chosen drinks.” Although there is a slant on dining, there is a generous bar area on entry (bar to the left) and a five ale line-up consisting of three GK ales (Abbot Ale, Old Golden Hen and World Cup-themed 4-4 Brew_plus a couple of local ales (Tring Ridgeway and Chiltern Chalk Stream). The latter gave up the ghost on pour, which was a shame as it would have been good on the beer miles, so a £6 pint of an average 4-4 Brew it was.

Run of the mill chain pub and a little disappointing for Chef & Brewer. Near to the railway station

A Chef and Brewer pub and restaurant in a red brick building. During late Victoria times the pub was renamed The Railway Hotel. There was an earlier pub on this site dating back to the 17th Century but the current building is Georgian. There is a small car park at the side and some outside seating near the road. The entrance is through the single L-shaped bar which has an abundance of new timber on the floor and walls, though part of the floor is tiled and is clearly much older than the rest. This bar has gaming machines, bar stools and a few tables and loud music which is a bit off-putting. Down some steps is the restaurant which makes good use of the historic building. There were 3 ales on draft, 2 from GK and a guest, Mr Squirrel fro Red Squirrel Brewery. The beers weren't that well kept and tasted somewhat artificial. Staff were friendly enough, and the WiFi worked, so it's worth popping in for a swift pint when passing or catching a train, and I'd probably include in a town crawl.
