EVERYTHING a proper pub should be…welcoming staff and friendly locals, try the dirty fries…a meal by itself! Great selection of ales, raging open fire, lots of outside space for sitting and watching the canal traffic glide by. Dog friendly too 😎 A PROPER gem!

We had an exceptional festive meal at Boat and Railway Pub in Stoke Prior with business colleagues and fiends. The festive menu was a fab, offering a perfect balance of flavours and festive cheer. From starters to desserts, each dish was spot on. The staff were friendly and attentive. The pub's selection of beverages complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, a fantastic place for a celebration or any occasion. Highly recommend Boat and Railway Pub for a delicious and memorable festive dining experience. Five stars!!!

Have been on a canal holiday with my family 9 adults in total. Turned up after a difficult day, and the staff could not be more accommodating and welcoming. Our arrival was late for a Wednesday night but the chef kept the kitchen open. All meals were delivered to the table together, piping hot, and plentiful in size. For one lady to smash out our dinner was amazing. The bar staff were equally as helpful and friendly. I would ignore previous 1star reviews as I feel some people have unrealistic expectations

Regarding the previous postFirstly Ron came to look at the room. I suggested he use our other room downstairs (which has the disabled loo) but he was insistent that due to the HUGE numbers of people attending he wanted the upstairs room, we do not use the function room as it needs a refurb. I was also asked to stock a large amount of Newcastle Brown, Budweiser and Jack Daniels, which i am now stuck with! It was far easier to sneak their own alcohol in, in carrier bags!A small number of around 50 people arrived, a HUGE number!NO ONE asked for their money back, they took it upon themselves to leave without paying and without my knowledge.The whole fiasco was more trouble than it was worth and these people are not welcome in the pub again We pride ourselves on our standards, the quality of our food and our friendly service

I have been a regular of this pub for many years, no longer!It's changed hands recently and I have given the new management a fair chance but the service is slow and rude.My family along with friends visited for food and it was burned and inedible - when it finally arrived that is. We waited over an hour for the food despite the pub being relatively un-busy.Like the previous reviewer, we had to change our order several times as many of the menu was unavailable. Then in the end left with a very hungry small child only to have to make alternative arrangements for our meal.Go to the nearby places instead like the navigation, queens head or the bowling green.

La ubicación es genial, justo en el canal. Sin embargo, es un pub "locales". Idioma de la clientela industrial, un menú limitado que no va más allá del profundo friendo, y no una cultura de mantener las cosas limpias y ordenadas.

Such a picturesque setting alongside the canal that carried so much of the Salt from the salt works which were brought by John Corbett in 1852. You can imagine the pub packed with workers of those salt works who stopped on their way home to slake their thirst.But it was not like that.A lady of disapproving expression defended the bar from all comers, so successful was she that no customers dared hang around inside treading on the carpet or sitting on chairs. Ok, we thought and walked through to the canal side terrace. All the tables looked lonely and beckoning but we took up two tables near a man with a dog. He was so pleased to see us, he leapt into conversation and his dog stared vacantly away. We chatted until I was sent to order a drink and some food. I passed through the silent bar, apologised for interrupting her phone call and took drinks and a menu. The man with the dog had gone....We settled for extravagance; "gammon, egg and chips all round" with tomato sauce as well. The service was prompt, the cuisine effective if oleaginous and served with the reverence it deserved. We counted the drowned drosophila in our two containers of brewed acetic acid and we saw a boat. What fun! After our luncheon we tried to cut away quietly but were caught in the open crossing the carpet. Offering our apologies to the stalwart defender of the bar, we slunk away promising audibly, with forced smiles, to see her again, although we felt her reply may not have been reciprocal...The Boat and Railway is quite close to Bromsgrove.

My wife and I visited this pub one Sunday for dinner. Luckily they had one Sunday lunch left which my wife had. I had the steak which was cooked medium just as I had asked for.. delicious 😋 All in all the food served was delicious and the staff were very attentive. We live not too far away so we will definitely visit again soon.

45 mins waiting for puddings with children's meals. Forgot half the food with other meals. Went to children's area, filthy. Staff miserable. Had to ask three members of staff if I was able to move another table over so we could all sit together, looking at me like I had 3 heads...terrible customer service. table still full of our plates after an hour of finishing. Went to the toilets, bogeys all up the walls the dust is that thick it's stuck to the walls. Grime all up the walls where you put clean hands under drier. Male toilets out of order... Used filthy smelling red mop in food areas. I've never felt the need to write a review for anywhere before. In shock that the place is even open.
