The Railway

My wife and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Railway . The staff were very courteous and efficient great selection of real ales and lovely ambience. We will definitely return!

I've eaten here twice and it has been very good both times. The service is great and the food is excellent and the place has a very nice atmosphere

Wonderful food and friendly staff. Food choice is good with a festive choice at this time of the year, both for main and dessert. Excellent.

Good service and good food. Nice atmosphere. Best xmas pudding I have had in a restaurant. Lots of people dining which is always a good sign.

Excellent food in very pleasant surroundings with great service would highly recommend. Good choice on the menu with food freshly prepared can’t wait to go again.

The food was excellent as was the service. The reason I have given it a 4 star is the restaurant was cold when we initially sat down and also towards the end of the evening. In between the other customers kept it warm! Another customer also commented on the room temperature who had eaten early doors. Unfortunately these things matter no matter how good your food and service may be.

Beautiful food, really special. Staff are friendly and service is good. Been for Sunday lunch normal lunch and dinner all are good. Kids menu is freshly cooked presented beautifully and the kids liked it.

10 of us enjoyed a Christmas Lunch Party Menu last week. From the moment we arrived service was excellent and cheerful. The food was very good, good choices well cooked and beautifully presented. a really enjoyable start to the season.

Booked a table for 4pm for Sunday lunch. We arrived on time, but had to 30mins for our table. Then quiet a wait to order pur meal, which took 20mins to arrive. The belly pork was cook beautifully, but only just hot and the roast potatoes and veg were barely warm. We did not complain at the time as we had a guest with us and didn't want to embrace him. We will try again and hopefully have a better experience.

Good food, good service, altogether a very good meal in very pleasant surroundings.what else is there to say. Keep up the good work. Will defenately be back

We were told to wait to meet the host, approx. 15mins later we had to ask a member of staff to be seated. Our table and the interior design of the restaurant area was lovely, very pleasant. We were left without menu's for another 15mins before we again had to ask for menu's. The mains were lovely in particular the steak was a big hit with my friend. The cheese board was by no means worth £8.95, 4 small cheese pieces no bigger than a laughing cow. The service very disappointing, the staff were helpful and friendly once you got their attention, just took along time to be acknowledged. Kindest Regards Sarah

We had a great evening the food was brilliant and staff really welcoming it’s a great place will definitely be going again I like it’s quirky features

Unfortunately, we hit the Christmas Lights 'turn-on' night, so it was very noisy. We all got rather cold, due to an icy blast from somewhere, probably doors being opened and shut, which was unfortunate. However, the service and food were EXCELLENT. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Next time we will book by telephone, to check we don't clash with any other major events. On the whole, a lovely evening, thank you.

Came for lunch and the four of us really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. The service was excellent and the set menu was imaginative. Will certainly return.

There was a party of 4 of us and we found the service to be very efficient and friendly. The food was superb and the portions were substantial. Thank you.

Can't fault anything. Food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic. If you're looking for a great dining experience then look no further. We're looking forward to going again!

Food excellent although starter not quite what I expected. The sea bream and cod were both excellent. Service a little slow otherwise it would have got the full 6

Food, service and staff excellent. Shame about the screaming child which drowned out some of our conversation! Would like the bread used for the sandwiches to be much thinner. Otherwise all very good.

amazing food, fantastic staff......just wish I lived closer x more than just pub food....ive eaten in rosette restaurants that were not as good- keep up the good work x

Lovely staff and freshly cooked and tasty ,interesting food. We were moved table when we requested without a demure. We would go again, my friends have also recommended

Excellent food and service. Would certainly recommend the Railway at Lowdham for a good night out. If you intend to dine at the weekend then make a reservation as it can be very busy.

Warm welcome, excellent food with friendly and efficient service. Made a change to be asked 'if we had room for a desert', not the usual 'do you require a desert menu'. Just a small extra friendly touch.

Fantastic, lovely food and great service. We all had a great time

The food was wonderful as always. Great atmosphere in the pub and the service was attentive but gave you space to eat and enjoy your meal. Totally lovely evening.

The food was amazing! Best I’ve had in a long time and the service was great too. Great choices of wine, wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Lovely family meal, best seat in the house! Service, food, atmosphere.....all perfect, can’t praise our experience enough. Thank you David and your fab team xxx

4 of us had lunch, some from the lunch menu and some from A la Carte. All food was excellent and we had a very enjoyable time.

Wonderful food, good service, but table was near the door and draughty. There’s a different experience at one end of the pub near the kitchen with a restaurant feel , to the other end which is quite noisy and pub like

Excellent food and service, good value on the set meal too.

Lovely setting. The restaurant is well laid out and the tables well spaced. The staff were very friendly and efficient. And the food was good value for money. Oh, and very importantly, the wine list had something for everyone and was sensibly priced.

Hospitality good, food excellent an overall very pleasant experience. Good to see that plenty of people there also enjoying themselves. Décor unusual but interesting, John.

ALWAYS A FRIENDLY WELCOME, THE EATING AREAS ARE ALWAYS CLEAN WITH PLENTY OF ROOM. GOOD WELL KEPT BEERS. THE FOOD IS OF A HIGH STANDARD EVERYTIME WE HAVE BEEN.

Lovely food, excellent service. All staff were polite, professional & very friendly. Great menu with plenty of choice especially for non meat eaters. I would definitely recommend a visit for lunch or evening meal.

Amazing sunday roast. Spoilt for choice on menu, as there was lots of nice meals to choose from. Ambience and service top draw. Would recommend.

The meal itself was lovely however unsure why we were charged £17.95 for the Pork Sunday dinner as this is not what the menu stated and seems extortionate for a Sunday roast (hence the overall experience rating given)

Had an amazing sunday lunch, can highly recommend. Food and staff were brilliant. Lovely pub with real fires, very cosy, excellent decor.will definitely be going again

Great food good choices nice atmosphere would certainly go there again bar service was excellent with a good choice of beers would recommend it to all friends and family

Fabulous. Best around. Food and service excellent. No waiting for drinks or food. Food was perfectly presented and perfect size. I would highly recommend the railway Scotts of Nottingham. Scott ravenscroft.

Our Second visit to the Railway and it hasn't improved, £22.50 for a Sirloin steak and the duck was very tough they may find it tough going when the Red Lion Re opens in Thurgarton. The Beer was not good tasted as though the pipes hadn't been claened.

Lovely staff but overall we all felt the food was a little lack lustre for the price. Almost but not quite was our impression. We were seated by a rear door and felt slightly cool.
