The Railway Hotel is a pub in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England.[1] It is known for its live music and its vegetarian and vegan food. The pub chose to offer a meat free menu in 2012.[2] English singer Wilko Johnson has been known to attend the pub occasionally. In 2013 the pub replaced their traditional pub sign for a hand painted portrait of Wilko Johnson by local artist Jack Melville.[3][4]

History

After the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway [LTSR] was completed in 1856, the railway developer leased the adjoining forty acres of land between the coast and the new railway for a new housing development; the Cliff Town.

Situated west of the existing Georgian Royal Terrace, the mid-Victorian estate was constructed by Banks and Barry between 1859-1861.[5] Nelson Street was designed as the estate’s shopping arcade, and The Railway Hotel was built alongside shortly before 1872.[6] The Railway Hotel remains part of the Clifftown Conservation Area.

Vegetarian & Vegan Cuisine

In 2012, the pub chose to offer a meat-free menu, rapidly becoming popular with the town’s Vegetarian and Vegan communities. In late 2015, the Railway Hotel was ranked in the UK’s top-10 Vegan pubs by animal rights charity PETA[7] for its varied selection of high quality Vegan food. In 2018, it was also listed in the top 12 of the best Vegan Fish & Chips in the UK by Vegan Food & Living[8].

Ship Full of Bombs

The Railway Hotel is also home to the studio of Southend-based alternative internet Radio, Ship Full of Bombs; named after the SS Richard Montgomery – an American liberty ship which sunk off the coast of Sheerness in 1944 with 1400 tonnes of munitions on board.
