Your train ticket + reserved seat + THREE pints of REAL ALE cask beers = included in the £22 price!

Our visiting Ales are:

From the XT Brewery (Animal Brewing Co) - HOP KITTY - 3.9% Hyper Hop Pale
A Low on ABV pale ale, huge on Hops. Packed with more Citra and Cascade than ever before. HopKitty is bursting with intense tropical and citrus flavours. Lighty toasted malts give a hint of sweetness before a second round of hops, big Mango and Lychee zest courtesy of a generous Citra third round of dry hopping.  Just like every crazy cat person, you won't be stopping with one.

From the Chiltern Brewery - Chiltern Black 3.9% Award Winning Ale
Dark, ruby treacle tones, hints of roast barley and beautifully hopped with a chocolaty aroma

Also from the From the Chiltern Brewery - Copper Beech - 4.4%
A more-ish, smooth red ale. Slightly sweet and gently hopped – an excellent strong session ale

We also offer additional pints of the above at £3.50 each (subject to supplies not running out!) and and we stock our own Vale Brewery supplied Wychert and Red Kite, plus a selection of wines and soft drinks etc.

Something to soak it up?
We will be serving an optional Fish & Chips, Steak Pie & Chips or Veggie Burger & Chips - all at £7 each and sent to our train freshly cooked from our local Chinnor Chippie (served around 20.00 - 20.15). You must pre-order your meal when booking your ticket.
