About Platform 3

Converted from what was originally a coal ordering office circa 1883 and more recently a taxi office, this is the Brightwater Brewery Tap. The pub vies to be the smallest in Great Britain with only room for one or two customers ordering inside. All seating is in garden furniture on the station forecourt. An awning and heater is used for the colder and wetter months. May also open on other 'Bonus Days', which are announced via Twitter, Facebook and the website. Check if travelling any distance to visit as opening is weather dependent and seasonal. The changing beers feature those brewed by Brightwater in rotation, with an occasional guest from another local microbrewery, served by handpumps and gravity. Crisps and nuts available, plus soft drinks and wines from a small fridge. Gluten free bottled beers and branded glasses also sold. The station platform toilets may be used and are open throughout pub hours. Due to licensing restrictions only plastic glasses may be used.

    A wonderfully unique mini brewer just outside the Claygate station. I think there was 3 beers on when we were there including a beautiful dark ale. The beers we had were lovely but sadly no notes were taken. If you're in Claygate, give it a go.

    Lovely place to spend a warm evening drinking delicious beer or cider. And with the fish and chips shop down the road, what could be better 🍺

    Great little place. Nice beer and friendly people. The weather determines this place as it's on Claygate Station and doesn't have an inside area but a gazebo can be erected if necessary.The landlord Alex is a nice chap. Will definitely be back 😁👍

    Great place, 2 beers on, a pale and a porter, both in excellent condition. Sausage rolls to aid in further drinking, served with local chilli sauce. Landlord and brewer is Alex, very personable fellow and a pleasure to spend time with. Definitely worth a visit
