Railway Inn

This large mock Tudor facade pub is unmissable if you step out of Portslade station and turn towards Boundary Road. The Railway Inn, Portslade was built in 1860, by local brewers Vallance & Catt, about 20 years after the Portslade station itself. Stepping inside a well-stocked bar with a friendly & welcoming staff... Davina & Co. Chic decor & chilled atmosphere. As you head deeper into the pub, behind the central staircase there’s a raised seating area offering more low seating and padded bench sets. Beyond that room is the garden set up with lots of individual tables and chairs, which is cheerful and bright. As well as the typical major brands: Guinness, Birra Moretti, and some more. Huge variety of both cask and keg beers, wines & spirits. Weekly pub quizzes, monthly art classes and live acoustic music once a month, & seasonal events are happening throughout the year. The Menu at The Railway Inn is ‘Street Fusion’, inspired. Fried chicken, nachos, tacos, loaded fries, burgers, and then a load of oriental Asian cuisine such as bao, bento, gyoza and noodles... Plus a children's menu too. The Ice Cream outlet is built into the bar stocked by Hove Gelato, which has as much ice cream on offer as you’d expect to find at your local Gelataria. Dog-friendly 🐕 I would highly recommend & will be returning soon.

My mate took me for a Sunday roast. It's a tradition every time I visit UK. This time we went to his local, The Railway Inn. It was fantastic. Absolutely packed*, clearly a very popular Sunday roast spot. The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff were really cool, and the soundtrack was just perfect. You don't so much walk to your table, more do a slight boogie. The roast? Really really good! I had the vegetarian option, obviously. Photos supplied for context. *Even though the restaurant was packed, the service was impeccable!

Had a Christmas menu group booking for 8 people and we had a lovely evening. The turkey main course was delicious with vegetable side dishes to share. Large portions and all cooked perfectly. The puddings were tasty too and everything was served on time and cleared away quickly. Great choice of beers. Please can we get a Good Times pub in Shoreham please!

I recently hired the Platform venue at the back of the pub for my 50th birthday party, we all had food beforehand which was tasty and just what we needed before the party! We were able to set up early and get balloons and the DJ ready for opening at 7pm, we put a big tab on the bar and the staff served people fast. Lots of fun was had by all! The lights and speakers on site were great and we used the projector screen for our extra lights, the sofas on the mezzanine were a great place for people to chill out. I'd 100% use it again - bonus was we could stay til 1am to have a proper party!

What a nice pub! This is not your typical country pub, but it's still a great venue. Located right next to Portslade train station on a busy high street (often with railway crossing congestion) it is well located for a quick cheeky pint and a burger after work or a Sunday roast. There is an sizeable outdoor area, a few function rooms and lots of space for dining. It even has an icecream bar. The only downside is there is no parking, but the station car park is accessible for a small fee, and it is on numerous bus and train routes.
