  “A lovely local pub, been two weeks running and there was some inconsistency in the food, nothing major, and the staff handled it really well. The service is excellent, and it has a beautiful atmosphere.”

  “Service is very good. We enjoy going for a drink in the well furbished pub & the beer garden is good. Not had a meal at The Railway for a while so thought we would. The main courses were less than desirable. Curry was dry, clumpy rice and could be a lot better. Steak, one third fat but cooked as requested. Chips were not crisp, peas were overcooked & tasteless, salad good. Mushroom & tomato not cooked properly. No onion rings. Dessert was really enjoyable.”

  “Unbelievably bad food. My wife and I started with the garlic mushrooms. Couldn't taste any garlic. My main course was steak and ale pie and I chose to swap the chips for dauphinoise potatoes. Dauphinoise potatoes consist of potatoes, garlic and cream. Mine were swimming in fat and were loaded with cheese. No sign of any garlic or cream. The pie had more mushrooms than steak (the menu didn't mention mushrooms and the gravy was thin and watery. Far too much thyme in the pie. That's all I could taste. The crust was burnt and the "garden peas" were cooked to death. Avoid this place!!”

  “Ate here over the weekend with family for lunch. Very disappointing roasts. Nut roast did not come with enough gravy , and we had to request more. Pate did not look homemade, scampi and the tarragon chicken were 'ok'. Lasagne was not enjoyed as the bechamel sauce was lumpy and the thickest layer of cheese on top was unpleasant. Steaks were rated 5 out of 10, and the onion rings were ridiculously large and greasy. All of the vegetables served with the roasts were overcooked and mushy, also the cauliflower cheese ordered as a side. Roast potatoes looked and tasted like frozen ones, also the yorkshire puddings. Everything was very salty. The people who had the gammon and the lamb shank were happy with theirs. The service and all staff were very efficient and pleasant, drinks delivered to the table very quickly. Ambiance was chilled/ relaxed. Would not eat here again due to the mushy veg and poor quality of the roasts.”
