Property details
The Railway is located in Malvern on the A449, three miles south of Great Malvern in Worcestershire, and is easily accessible to locals, destination seekers, and passing traffic. Sitting slightly up from the road, there are gorgeous views of the Malvern Hills to be had from both the pub and from the three en-suite letting rooms. Malvern is a delightful spa town in an area of outstanding natural beauty and specific scientific interest surrounded by the Wye Valley with local attractions such as Worcester Racecourse and Spetchley Park Gardens all within a short drive. The area is brimming with history and attracts explorers, photographers, and more all year round. The Malvern Museum, The Great Priory, Theatres, and the Science park are all within ten minutes by car and Malvern Mountain is also a ten-minute drive away offering breathtaking views as well as exciting biking, hiking, and running trails. The Railway is in a great location to allow people to explore the area, then settle down in the evening for great food, excellent drink, and a comfy night's sleep before doing it all again the next day!
The Railway is a large detached pub that sits up on a small hill from the main road overlooking the Malvern Hills with parking for up to 8 cars and also on-road parking available. As you enter through the main door there are two distinct areas separated by the bar. On one side is an area that lends itself to a games-focused space housing the pool table and darts board. On the other side is a comfortable and relaxed area home to the main seating and dining space. There is a mixture of loose and fixed seating to further enable casual drinking but also to enable sit-down dining with the bar offering a warm and welcoming feel that is well decorated. The commercial kitchen is located at the rear of the pub.
Externally, there is a fabulous decked area that has views over the Malvern Hills along with a smoking solution.
The Railway has three double en-suite rooms which are located in a separate low-level building to the right-hand side of the pub and have their own entrances. All rooms are well-kept and nicely decorated.
The private accommodation comprises of three double bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, office and bathroom.

Trading style
The Railway’s current trading style is a traditional pub food offer with a good range of cask ales, beers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks, as well as three well-presented lettings rooms. There is potential in the future to develop the wet side of the business, utilising the wide range of cask and craft ales, premium spirits, and world lagers that are available. The food offer is well received by the locals as well as those traveling from afar and passing through. Looking to the future, a focus on a more locally sourced food offer as well as a varied menu throughout the week with a somewhat “destination dining” feel would help bring in more people from a greater surrounding area whilst still catering to the locals and regular guests. Links with local attractions, businesses and places to visit would also help drive more footfall.
The Railway is in a fantastic location in Malvern Wells with stunning views and scenery. The landlords are looking for an all-around experienced operator that has a real focus on driving the business forward maximising all possible income streams. They will ideally have experience in the industry and a vast knowledge of Malvern and the surrounding area. They need to be passionate, take pride in everything they do, and have the ability to create memorable yet personal experiences for their guests. The Railway will benefit from an operator who puts people at the heart of everything they do being able to engage with the local community as well as focusing on tourism and leisure which forms a big part of the business here. Food is a key part of this business as well as the letting rooms so a real commitment is required to maximise these opportunities. Standards and operational excellence must be first class and the right licensee will have a vision for this fantastic opportunity.
