ABOUT US
Nestled in the heart of Warwickshire, The Great Western Pub has been a local treasure since the mid-1800s. Originally established to serve travellers and workers of the Great Western Railway at the nearby Southam Road and Harbury station, our pub has retained its iconic charm for generations. Steeped in history and connected to the legacy of British engineering, we are proud to be a symbol of tradition in a modern world.

🚂 A Stop in Time 🚂
Today marks 62 years since Southam Road & Harbury Station closed on 2nd November 1964, after 112 years of service.
Once standing beside The Great Western, it welcomed generations of travellers, workers and families. The platforms may be gone, but trains still pass our doors, keeping that railway heritage alive. 💚
Join us this Monday for Combustion coffee, cake, a freshly baked sausage roll or a well-earned pint as we raise a toast to the journeys that began here. 🍻🚂
