Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Eight of us went here for a late lunch on a Saturday. We were served by Mary-Ann who was brilliant and absolutely made the occasion for us! Well kept delicious ales, home cooked pub food which was generous and tasty! Thanks so much to the...team!More

Visited for Sunday lunch after many recommendations.. clearly we picked a bad day. Assured Yorkshire pud available with roast pork ordered.. 40 mins later told not enough Yorkshire puds available unless order changed to beef.. 5 mins later .. you can have a slice of...Yorkshire pud with pork or a whole one with beef.. we choose beef… another ten minutes food arrives .. looks promising… sadly knife won’t even cut through the beef .. potatoes are like bullets… whole plate swimming in brown liquid (assume it’s supposed to be the gravy) and the much coverted Yorkie is a soggy mess. Most certainly not worth £15 a head (which they did refund). Most disappointing.More

What a delightful surprise. Soup is roasted pepper and tomato. Both of us have the roasted chicken, potatoes, parsnip/carrot/broccoli/sage dressing and cranberry sauce. Outstanding. Great friendly service although a bit slow on getting the dish but seeing all of it put together --all is forgiven....We feel like Jamie Oliver has been here.More

During a trip away with friends we visited the railway inn on two occasions for food. It was fantastic both times! A great warm welcome, delicious meals and good pints. Would definitely like to return.

On a visit to Fairford, stopped by for lunch as had seen this pub on the drive through town. Portion sizes of food were huge and very tasty. Staff were very friendly even offering citronella candles for our table outside to help with any wasps...that may be buzzing by!! Once seating became available inside, we were then offered an alternative table inside, but we ended up enjoying the outside area. The service of the staff was very good. Was perfect for our visit and would go there again.More

Took the missus camping and we wondered into the village of fairford but this lass was less than fair. Walked in to everyone in the village looking at us as we weren’t wearing sketchers or tweed. The barmaid seemed genuinely shocked that we wanted to...sample her fine ales before purchasing. It’s not my fault I don’t know what Berry cider tastes like in the sticks. Tbh I think she was annoyed watching the other lovely barmaid earning tips because she knew how to smile. Beer was good though, would recommend berry cider.More
