Superb Sunday lunch with all the trimmings! Service is always excellent here, friendly and prompt but not over-familiar and never 'eat it and beat it'. Thanks, Staff at Railway: keep on doing what you're doing!

The whole experience was good. Welcoming staff, table ready for us and everything done in an orderly fashion. The Sunday roasts were good and served with a good mix of vegetables. They willing served me a half portion. What I would really recommend is the warm quince pear tart. It was light and served with a quince reduction and whipped cream. Delicious

Absolutely brilliant. Loved the place, loved the atmosphere and loved the food. Wonderful staff but disappointed they didn’t take my “Blue light card” for emergency services staff. There are not many places that do not now days.

Post half marathon meal and the railway didn’t disappoint. Great service, great food. The roast dinners didn’t disappoint with the pork belly being a particular highlight along with the sticky toffee pudding

Sunday lunch was good but not amazing. I love red cabbage, kids love cauliflower cheese and we all stuffing. Very fresh but a little boring!

Overall a pleasant experience,though possibly becoming victim of its own success. Have visited several times before and would award top marks. This time cooked dinner could be hotter, time from ordering to receiving meal 40mins. Staff made aware and were courteous , and amended the situation. Definitely would return again .I presume one cannot get it right all the time!

Food was to a high standard as usual at the railway but at 7:30 on a Friday the bar area was way too noisy which boomed through to the front dining area to my myself and my partner this was too much we could hardly hear each other speak on a few occasions which made our experience of the railway alittle deflated and poor my partner and I only had a main and left , if it were quieter for diners My partner and i would have stayed and experienced all the courses and enjoyed the evening a lot more without leaving prematurely

Good service and food though bar area became too busy for staff to cope with "early doors" drinkers blocking access. This did detract from dining experience.

Excellent food and wide range of drinks on offer. Very good service - the only slight negative was having to ask for our order to be taken, but the place was extremely busy and that was understandable. The weather wasn't good enough to enjoy the garden but gives us a reason to return. Have already recommended to a couple of friends.
