What a lovely place! There’s a wonderful, friendly atmosphere, and the staff seem happy to be there (always a good indicator). We went there on a Friday and there was a great mix of groups; families, couples, work friends etc. The room is large, open and airy, with a clean, calming decor and smelled of freshly cooked meals, not like old beer which some places that have a bar can do. That brings me to the food. My daughter and son-in-law recommended the Railway to us, and they’re quite discerning when it comes to good food, so I knew to expect something of a higher standard. Both my husband and I like to ‘test’ anywhere we visit for the first time by how they cook a steak (our favourite); my husband likes medium rare, I prefer blue, and I can honestly say we were both extremely impressed. Each steak was cooked perfectly and melted like butter when eaten. In fact, it’s all I’ve thought about since; absolutely delicious! It eventually came time to leave, which I was reluctant to do as I’d had such a great time there, and to pay the bill. I could not believe how inexpensive our meal was; 4 drinks, 2 entrée, 2 mains and 1 dessert came to a little more than 65 quid. We’ve paid twice that elsewhere and only been 1/2 as impressed. We have found our new favourite restaurant, and don’t care that it’s a 40 minute drive away, even with the crazy price of fuel lately. The Railway Tavern is worth it!
All in all, positive experience! Food was really good but bigger portions would be welcomed. Service was a little shy of good but understandable given a massive party booking and being seemingly understaffed. Lowest score for me was the atmosphere, it’s like it’s somewhere between a pub and a nice restaurant so music and/or TV’s on would get that score up for me!
First time here since the new owners have taken over. Fabulous food and lovely pint of Madri. A artist was on in the bar and he was awesome. The Place was full, not overly, great atmosphere and friendly. We can't wait to return.
Nice venue, clean decor and spacious. Staff are excellently trained and friendly. Attentive but not up in your grille. Good selection of drinks. Food is about medium pricey but definitely good quality. Fries were delicious, steak cooked perfect rare and seasoned properly. Peppercorn sauce (on the side) was beautiful. I was under the impression it was a franchise establishment, but the kitchen at least seems to be ran almost independently. Well worth a visit. Thanks guys.
Love the food amazing. Great prices. Amazing service
Food was spot on. Really enjoyed it.
Great service and lovely and clean.
Wonderful to visit the Railway Tavern again after a few years when it was undergoing a lot of changes. Saw lots of great reviews and photos from Christmas when everyone seemed to be having a terrific time. We went for a meal tonight and absolutely loved it. The food was different but exciting. I cannot praise the lovely staff enough. The food was reasonably priced. Would highly recommend a visit.
Absolutely delicious salmon starter at the Railway. It was so nice to have something a little bit different and the orange and gin hollandaise with beetroot crumb was out of this world! Massive compliments to the chef. We also ordered the garlic mushrooms and those were delightful too. The roast dinner mains were also lovely; the meat especially. This was the nicest Sunday roast that I've had locally, by far, beating the likes of Butterflies, Jolly Colliers etc. I'd highly recommend you giving the Railway a try. The staff were lovely, the restaurant itself was very nicely decorated, and we felt it was a safe environment to eat out. I've told all my friends to go try the salmon starter! Divine!
Visited here on a Friday evening and even after a computer error while ordering our food, I have to say the service and the food was absolutely outstanding. Staff very attentive and apologetic over a minor error. Great selection of beers on draught and would highly recommend the burgers, will definitely be returning.
Beautiful meal tonight for my birthday!Service was great, and enjoyed a little drink 🙂
Always enjoy my time at The Railway x
Highly recommend 👌 x
Me and my girlfriend visited The Railway yesterday (Sunday 15th May) and I'm really glad we did.
We were greeted promptly, shown to our table and had our drinks order taken. Using their QR Code we accessed the menu and both opted for the same meals (Mushrooms for starters and beef for main)
The Mushrooms were lovely and again the food was brought out in a timely manner. The beef however was even better. You could have cut it with a spoon. The best beef I have ever had. The portion sizes was excellent and everything from the roasties to the veg was cooked to perfection.
Would 100% recommend this to others.
Good amount of free parking and wheelchair accessible.
Table booked for 1.15 but was available to us from about 12.50 so we were left to enjoy a pint in peace and quiet. Nice to be offered a pint of Stowford Press instead of the usual 'Bow. Nice wine list if not extensive.
We both had the beef and what a treat! Served with yorkies, boilers, roasties, carrots, cabbage, parsnip, stuffing and swede with extra gravy. All well cooked and tasty with a nice amount of salt. We ordered an extra of cauli cheese which I would totally recommend.
Can't comment on starters or desserts as we didn't have either and truth be told, neither was required as the mains were more than enough.
Service was attentive but not intrusive.
Would highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing food, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was nice... Well worth a visit!
Just dropped in for a drink.
My lot think you need to get some Brewdog IPA . It's lovely to see the pub back open.
Very cosy place with lovley food. Reccomend the steak as its cooked to perfection. Great music played here too to add to the chilled vibe.
Lovely evening sat out outside for a few pints and a burger, good food and good beer.
We had great tasting meals today. I had lamb shank with mustard seed mash and vegetables and G had the steak with peppercorn sauce. Amazing desserts as well. Well done to the chef and to the lady who served us
We had a 80th birthday celebration here and what a lovely place. Staff all very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.
Food all came out together and hot. Beautiful meals and all plates empty.
We would all return again.
Thank you all for making my Mother in laws birthday special. See you again soon.
