Lovely meal. Good place to meet friends. Special menu good value but dessert a little too much cream...it was Eton mess but an alternative with a few strawberries and thin shards of meringue decorating it. Overall though great venue and meal

Dear Sir / Madam. We have been to the Railway on three occasion's now, the first time was for Fathers Day, and love it there. The atmosphere, ambiance is superb, the staff so warm and very welcoming, and the food just tops it off. Not one bad thing to say, as simple as that. Thank you to all at the Railway. Marko Malusic.

I contacted restaurant in the morning to check the options on set menu for intolerance. The person I spoke to said as there was only 1 main I could have she kindly told me I can pick anything from the main menu and she would honour the set menu price without a problem. On arriving at the restaurant I explained this to my server. They said she cant do this and will charge me the supplement. I explained again and she basically suggested the lady this morning was wrong and should not have told me that. She told me to order and she will do something after. Having ordered eaten and got the bill, nothing had been amended and was therefore charged a lot more than the set menu. The server would not honour thus mornings offer. I thiught this was poor. Other than that the place was a nice setting and calm. We did have to ask for our table to be cleaned as it has sauce all over it.

The Railway is a gorgeous pub in a quaint setting. The staff are superb, very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was fantastic, I really couldn't fault it. The outdoor area is a delight on a sunny day. I can't recommend this place enough. I can't wait to go back.

Location and environment is lovely, the food was just ok, we had a vegetarian in the party where there was only one Veggie option as a main course and she was really disappointed, I have a pet hate when eating out which is when chefs salt everything and I have to say my dish was really salty, others may like it but not me. Burger apparently was amazing and the Paella was just ok so a real mixed review from my party of 6 so when I paid the bill of over £230 it was an expensive meal for just ok food.

One of our regular haunts. Guaranteed good food, lovely atmosphere, great location, friendly & efficient staff. Modern english cuisine. A deservedly good reputation resulting in the awards they have recently received.

My friend and I went to the ladies night on 16/5/18 and it was £19.95 for a glass of prosecco and a 2 course dinner. The food was really tasty and all staff were lovely. I was disappointed that the 2 courses had to be a starter and a main, non of the starters really took my fancy and I would rather have had a pudding. I couldn't find a menu on the website for the ladies night and I would probably have come another night and eaten off the standard menu as the choices are more to my liking. The pub is lovely, really nicely decorated and has a nice feel to it.

I have been to the railway previously to sample the beers, however this was the first time that I have eaten there having read the great reviews that it has been receiving. We went in for Sunday lunch which was very well priced, great portions and the meat was succulent. Service was crisp and polite without any hitches. Well worth a visit and I will definitely be going again.
