  “Good location, seating outside by flowing river with ducks! Chips undercooked. Salads shown on website no available in October (it was a warm day...). Limited desserts - chocolate dishes only.”

  “Fantastic day had a fabulous meal I had Ham Egg and Chips. Only problem I could moan about was condiments could be simplified a bit.”

  “The river view is definitely worth it. Clear water with fish(perch or roach maybe) and beautiful blue damsel flies. The coffee and hot chocolate less so but I guess it's a pub not a cafe.”

  “We booked a table for seven o’clock, unsure how the service worked we walked inside to ask what table number was, we asked if there was table service outside we was told yes then a girl said no we need to come to the bar to order. So we proceed to order there we had ordered short ribs then a couple minutes passed and until another person was told by a different waiter did we then got told they didn’t have any so then we proved to order fish and chips. We sat down in which the table hadn’t been cleared and the chairs all feel like it’s a risky to be sat on not stable at all and had glasses and rubbish on it, the salt and chili chicken came in which it was so soggy not crispy at all and had darker marks on the batter.the calamari was okay but still very stringy. The fish and chips have come the bottom of the fish was soggy, the fish literally had puddles of water. We did complain and the man who dealt with this and issued us a refund for the food we had a problem with was so lovely and apologetic about the food, couldn’t fault him for how he handled it.”

  “Having seen this place all over social media we decided we needed to try it for ourselves. Lovely setting on a summer's day but unfortunately the food was quite average. The two of us shared a few starters and all looked a bit too uniform to be handmade and although they tasted OK, they were just that unfortunately.”

  “I had a meal here with another person, and we both thought the food was very good and filling with good portion sizes. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and portion size. Our waiter Aaron was excellent- incredibly friendly and he clearly knew the menu back to front. He took time to give us recommendations about what to order and made sure we got something we enjoyed which was very much appreciated. I would definitely come back again, and thank you Aaron!”

  “I can't praise Sam and her team enough. I celebrated my late 60th birthday with my friends. Sam organised everything and the evening went extremely well. The food was excellent and plenty of it!!! My friends also commented that the food and bar staff were so great. Thank you all at the Railway for making my occasion perfect.”

  “Booked a riverside table for a birthday lunch. Wasn’t sure about our table on arrival and they were so overwhelmed in the kitchen meal orders stopped for a short while, but as promised after 15 minutes they came and took our over and soon the starters arrived. It was a very good recovery of what seemed a worrying situation. Sadly no pictures of the Asian chicken starters, bread board, Gyoza and deep fried pickles which were all delicious followed by these mains. Beef short rib, flat iron steak, Chicken Caesar salad and scampi which were also delicious. Beautiful sitting by the river..”

  “Called in for dinner after having finished a stretch of the Charles 3rd Path. The pub looked good from the outside and was very busy - always a good sign. I was not disappointed! Great selection of vegan food on offer AND actually available. Great atmosphere and the service was brilliant- helpful,, polite and friendly - the lady in the kitchen came out to ask if I wanted the vegetarian or vegan version of the burger I ordered. The pub interior was nice and the food was amazing. The chips were delicious, crispy on the outside, full of flavour and they melted in the mouth. Beautiful! I'd ask how they did them but I suspect it's one of the those things they'd have to kill me if they told me, though I suspect witchcraft - they really were that good!”

  “Went recently for dinner with friends. Atmosphere is lovely, relaxed. Nice views over the river from certain tables (outside seating available too). Food was delicious and it was only a short wait. Service was good if a little slow. Spent around £25-30 per person (main and dessert) Has their own car park, walking distance to the train station, dog friendly.”
