Valentines evening set menu. Excellent food with good service but very overpriced. Live vocals started after we had finished our main course so don’t feel that we received value for money. May try again on a regular evening.

We choose to eat here after seeing they had won Best New GastroPub. Despite being a quiet Wednesday, it was busy enough, with a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was fantastic - we will return.

We enjoyed an excellent meal with good service, glad we sat in the back room and ate early as it was quite noisy in the bar but this didn't detract from a good experience here.

The food and service was brilliant! Only negative is I had the lamb and the vegetables were diced really tiny and considering the dish doesn't come with potatoes it wasn't that filling

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff and delicious and unusual food. The only reason I haven't given top marks is being a bit picky! The desserts were lovely but dry - we could have done with more sauce on both the crumble and the parsnip and pistachio cake. The ice cream was wondrous!

All the staff were friendly, professional and welcoming, making eye contact with each of us when we spoke, and nothing seemed too much trouble despite the restaurant being very busy. The food was excellent and there was a decent interval between courses which was very much appreciated. Overall, we were so pleased that I have booked again for the four of us for a Sunday lunch in early February to which we are all looking forward.

There was plenty of choice on the menu. The staff were very helpful, and able to answer any queries we had they made us very welcome. Two of us had the pork cutlet from the specials, it was very tasty. One of our party is gluten free & this was not a problem. We had a bottle of Chenin Blanc which was also very good. We will definitely be going back. Thank you.

Very nice steak at the Railway, good food and service, negative points are noisy and a bit cramped. As its really a pub you don't get a fine dining experience but the prices are a bit on the high side. Would I rush back? No.

All the staff were polite, happy and helpful. The decor was trendy with an old camera on a hook next to framed prints with black and white photos tucked behind. There was a lovely fire burning in the grate and the food was beautiful and delicious. ( Take your thermals if you need the loo though - they were freezing!)

The food was excellent - roast dinners with moist turkey / expertly cooked beef (just as pink as my daughter likes it) and wide selection of perfectly cooked veg. The service was very friendly too.
