If you ever find yourself wandering down Bromford Lane in West Bromwich and craving a place that serves up serious flavour, The Railway Inn at number 96 is where the action is. This local favourite blends a proper pub vibe with a generous dose of spice, sizzle, and seriously satisfying dishes. Whether you're after a laid-back pint, a spicy curry, or a mixed grill that could feed a small army, this place knows exactly how to deliver.
The menu is unapologetically bold. We're talking Butter Chicken that melts in your mouth, Goat Curry with just the right kick, and a Chicken Tikka Sizzler that arrives sizzling loud enough to turn heads. And if you're the type who can’t decide? Go big with the Mega Mixed Grill-it’s the kind of feast that brings friends together and silences even the loudest tables (at least until the last chop is gone).
One of the crowd-pleasers here is the Battered Chilli Chips-crunchy, fiery, and totally addictive. Pair that with a chilled beer from their impressive selection, and you've got yourself a meal that hits all the right notes. Fans of Indian classics will feel right at home with Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Madras, or the always-comforting Chicken and Mushroom Curry. There’s also a solid veggie selection and small plates for those who just want a quick bite and a pint.
Now, speaking of pints, The Railway Inn isn’t just about the food. It’s a proper pub too. The beer selection is spot-on, and they don’t stop there-you’ll find cocktails, spirits, wine, and coffee if you need a caffeine boost after your curry coma. It’s the kind of place where you can catch the game on screen with a drink in hand, thanks to the easygoing, sport-friendly atmosphere.
The vibe? Think casual and welcoming. It’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even late-night bites-especially when those post-work hunger pangs hit hard. There's outdoor seating for sunnier days, and dine-in, takeaway, and delivery options mean you can enjoy your favourites any way you like. And if you're flying solo, it still works-it’s good for solo dining without feeling awkward.
Accessibility is a big plus here. With a wheelchair-accessible car park, entrance, seating, and toilet, it’s clear that The Railway Inn is designed for everyone to enjoy without barriers.
And don’t skip dessert. Trust me on this. They've got sweet treats worth saving room for-because what’s a good curry night without something indulgent to finish it off?
Whether you’re a local in West Bromwich or just passing through and scouting for bold flavour and friendly service, this spot stands out. The mix of pub comfort, spiced-up favourites, and solid drinks menu makes it more than just a neighborhood joint-it’s the kind of place people return to, again and again.
