    Yes it's open between 11.00 - 2100 Friday & Saturday and from 11.30 - 1800 Sunday

    Also notice there is a Hobsons Real Ale Trailer at Highley this year which is new. Opening times a bit strange as it's open 11.00 -1500 all four days. Thought it might open a bit later than that but I suppose there are plenty of other places to get a drink around the railway.

    Will most sets have a buffet car - or somewhere to get a drink?

    I'm not too fussed about Sunday, but Saturday I certainly don't want to have a dry night...

    Well there is a pub each end and the buffets on the train are usually open into the evening so along with the other two places above drinks will be available. No Buffet on overnight sets though. The museum will be open all night though serving, Tea, Coffee, Soft Drinks, hot and cold snacks including toasties and no doubt the Chilli Weekend special that has actually been on offer for at least the last 10 years :D

    No buffet on the GW set atm as it's normal RMB is covering set C's (out for a broken spring). Plenty of pubs: The King and Castle at Kiddy, The Great Western at Bewdley, The Harbour at Arley, The Ship at Highley and the Railwayman's Arms at Bridgnorth to name just the closest. Bridgnorth and Bewdley have the best range.

    Will there be anything other than Bewdley Brewery on at the Railwaymans? Nice as their brews are I do like a bit of choice otherwise its going to be a walk to the George or the White Lion for a scotch egg and a couple of pints of Hop and Stagger.

    Recommend the George or the White Lion in Bridgo mate George is other side of the road from the car park and the Lion is over the bridge and up the hill.

    The railwaymans can unfailingly be expected to have a cracking pint of Bathams available. There's normally a hobsons offering or two as well.

    Massive in context of the tiny premises, and generally fast (though progressively erratic as the evening goes on) moving queue! Always worth the wait. Besides, where else can you get a quality pint with a prime view of a working steam MPD?

    I used to work for Matt and Tim Batham, I've sunk enough of their beer to sink a battleship in!
