Spoilt by noise

Wonderful meal and superb staff as usual. Unfortunately only 4 stars as we couldn’t hear ourselves speak due to a large party of females who insisted on being as noisy and disruptive as possible. Set the smoke alarm off with a birthday candle and had...no consideration for the other diners. They either needed to moderate their alcohol intake and have some respect for others or be seated elsewhere other than the restaurant area. Other tables commented on how noisy they were and how it had spoilt their evening too. Such a shame as it is usually a lovely place to dine.More

Sunday roast

Another lovely Sunday roast at The Railway. Opted for small plate with one meat, they do offer a selection but too much last time. Great friendly service, you must book to avoid disappointment.

Welcoming pub with fabulous food, what more could you ask for?

We visited last night and were pleasantly surprised to find a winter warmers menu with 3 courses for £16. Every course, we had 3, was amazingly good. We would happily choose exactly the same again, each course was perfect, the syrup sponge with cream was...divine. Cannot wait to return next time we are in the area.More

Can not recommend enough! Food is outstanding!

Well this is a little gold mine not to be missed. We were staying nearby in a lodge with a pub on sight but reviews were not great so decided to try the highly recommended railway inn. Being gluten free I couldn’t believe the choice...on the menu and never have I been able to order a gluten free pie and chips before when out. The pie was filled with lots of lean steak and was freshly made, piping hot. My partner had the “hunters chicken” again an excellent dish with lots of pure meat. Can not recommend the food highly enough and very reasonable for the quality. Staff very pleasant and attentive. A proper country pub with high quality home cooked food!More

Brilliant place, amazing food!

We went at 5.30pm on Saturday night with no booking and were told they were full...... but Jolene was so helpful and said wait 10 mins some people might be going soon, and she got us in. The staff were amazing! My wife had the...chicken skewer and it was amazing! I had the steak pie and chips, wowww! One of the best pies I have ever had. The atmosphere was lovely, with a nice chilled vibe. The only tiny criticism would be the wait time for the food to arrive, which was 45 minutes. If they can speed that up a touch, this place would be 5 star in my book. And it was worth the wait tbh. Overall a great place and had a brill night. Special thanks to Jolene for not just turning us away 😃😃😃More

Freshly piped!

I visited with family for a special lady’s 88th birthday. It certainly didn’t disappoint! I got a mixed meat roast dinner which was delicious, lovely amount of meat accompanied by freshly piped mashed potato, roast potatoes and a massive Yorkshire pudding. Great amount of veg...and as much gravy as you care to have! We certainly will be returning, maybe next time I’ll have the pie as I got serious food envy when I saw one of our parties pie! Lovely food!More

Excellent value and quality

I often stay at the railway inn for work. This was the first time I had food. Many of my colleagues have praised the food and they were not wrong. The choice was very good for a start. I had the haddock gujons and proper...chips. It was very good!! The beer selection is also great and the atmosphere is really friendly. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. I feel very welcome here and will keep coming back.More

Wonderful food

We were spoilt for choice at The Railway. We opted for chicken and tarragon pie with new potatoes (the potatoes are always so good) and the Yorkshire pudding loaded with roast beef which was a huge portion, both off the specials. Glad we booked as...it was busy even on a Wed at 6.30pm. Can't wait to go again next time we're staying at Willow Pastures, it's a nice walk along the trail.More

Still the very best in the area!

We had Sunday lunch and it was generous, perfectly cooked and delicious. I was the only one with the traditional roast meal, and I love that there are options for everyone. From an authentically-spiced thai green curry, to fish goujons to a truly "home made...from scratch" steak mushroom and red wine pie. We live nearby and go often . We are never disappointed.More
