Railway in Trafford

Best beer, in a better atmosphere served by the best staff in the best pub, by far, for miles around!

What a hidden gem of a place this is. The food is absolutely fabulous and tasty with very good portions and so reasonable on price. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. Brilliant! Will be visiting here quite often from now on. Thank you all at The Railway.x.

Just an absolutely class pub. Can’t go wrong ticks every box.

Best bar staff the amazing J-J-G.

A lovely pub , proper old school

Got off at Hale station and went in here for a swift couple. We sat in the beer garden to the rear in a sunspot.

Marie daisy and Izzy are legends

One of the only traditional pubs in the area! Lovely staff, great beers on tap and overall great atmosphere.

Bar staff are all incredible! Happy bunch and make it worth going in every time!

As expected, brilliant in every way. 👍👍👍

This long standing family run pub has an Irish atmosphere welcoming young and old, locals and visitors alike. Has been one of my regular family favourites nearly 30years and will be for many other families for another 30years if not longer. The owners Alan and Ian are always around to keep everyone aware of local events and forever giving helpful golf and football anecdotes. Still one of the best pubs in the area for all. Not really somewhere to eat but they offer simple food for if you've drunk too much. There are far better restaurants locally.

Pleasant local pub with local draught beers in addition to the mass market ones. There is a large outdoor seated area at the rear with a screen showing the Euro games. Dogs allowed.

absolutely amazing village pub 🍻

Great pub .top drinks.will be back

As an 18 year old, I was id immediately which I thought was understandable for my age, however what I didn’t expect was to be kicked out in under a minute for simply not ordering a drink. The landlord was rude and was looking for any way to kick us out and overall was a very unpleasant and hostile person

Fantastic pub serving Robinsons best ales. Busy but friendly with a bit of a buz

Really nice traditional pub great friendly atmosphere and punters! Never been here before as my brother has just moved into the area and we came in for his birthday drink. Cosy and dog friendly for those animal lovers so nice all round. Will probably visit again!

A visit to an old haunt from my younger days. A friendly pub with a range of beers. I liked the vault as the main bar was crowded

Super pub, good prices, tasty food, totally recommend

Been visiting this little nugget for the last 20 years now. It’s more than an increasingly & very scarce traditional very well run pub these days or the’ only pub in Hale, Village, Cheshire.’ It’s a magical unchanged formula that still operates & works under the same regime as it has done successfully for many years by the same family members behind it. It’s a great boozer with a mixed and magical customer profile from every well behaved spectrum in life you might find in Hale. It’s a safe haven for people still embracing and trying to find a traditional PUB - Keep it up Al and all your team. 👍

Proper Robinsons boozer well supported by local community.

Great quirky pub, I used to come here many years ago as captain of The Bridge in Sale's darts team, we were rubbish but always got a good welcome. Pub has great woodwork furnishings and different rooms, and it looks like there's a good old-fashioned snug. The small garden at the back was nice to sit in, and you could shelter when the imminent rain fell. All in all, a great pub in a village that is sadly lacking in real good old-fashioned boozers. Sat in the snug today watching the rugby, there were screens all over the pub, ideal for the sports fans amongst us.

Great place, always seems to be busy with great atmosphere. A real mix of customers, which makes it welcoming and you do not feel out of place. Outdoor seating is great addition with heating.

Great place. Lovely outside garden area

Lovely pub. Staff really friendly. Food just the job and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended 👌

Staff very friendly food excellent 😋

Good friendly pub with seating indoors and outside at the back.

Friendly bar staff ,nice pint, little pricey but you get what you pay for 👍👍

This pub as a great vibe, bar service is spot on, there's no waiting here for a pint. An eclectic mixture of people, young and old, all having a great time. When there's footy on its a fantastic place to be, no hassle just everybody chilling.

Amazing staff, it's a proper pub with great beer showing sports on many of their entertainment screens

It was packed for St Patrick’s Day and the singer was great. Had real atmosphere. The manager made me rebuy a drink someone else had spilt and that was a bit miserable of him I thought.

Proper town pub decent beers great atmosphere

Good beer and a traditional pub environment. If you don't like football and a City or United match is on, unfortunately the TV is on too loud and spoils a conversation.

The Railway has been our Friday night early doors spot for years. There's always a good selection of beers. The staff are always friendly. Alan has done a great job of keeping The Railway as a good old fashioned boozer.

Lovely, traditional pub. Good food and brilliant staff along with a very nice pint of Robbies.

Best pub in Hale. Always busy but everyone's in a good mood, and great for watching the footie.

Traditional pub with friendly staff. We reserved a room and had a buffet made for a funeral party It was reasonably priced and a good selection of food. Would go there again.

Absolutely perfect. The atmosphere the food. Staff. Could not fault them one bit. Fish and chips mushy peas and a pint of bitter shandy. Perfect lunch. And value for money. In this area the prices are crazy. 3 x fish and chips. 2 pints of bitter shandy. And a coffee for the driver. £30.50

Good, traditional, locals pub. Most of Hale's establishments have gone for the top end of the market, to cater for the Range Rover crowd.😄 The Railway is a breath of fresh air. Friendly staff and inviting.

First time visiting it and it seems to be a very nice pub

The steak and ale pie is the best 👌 6 quid but its so good when you want a bit of food if your out out for a bevi

Nice pub, friendly helpful staff, good selection of beers, no complaints whatsoever

Was ok apart from the amount of weirdos and kids 🤣

Good atmosphere in this local pub, plenty to keep entertained with and plenty of choice of drinks

Lively local Robinsons pub which has football and rugby on TV screens in every room. Locals are friendly and the pub is very well patronised. The Dizzy Blonde is well kept and the Guinness was on form too

Cracking pub. Great beer. Fantastic service when the football is on.

Very polite and attentive staff, spotless toilets and a great pint of Guinness

What a pub... probably best I've been and the welcome off the landlord pure class 👌

Very nice place to eat and drink. I had a sirloin steak, which was excellent. Lovely decorated inside and Fireplace already heated. Very friendly staff, always happy to help and open for a chat.

Looks nice on the outside but not special on the inside.

Great pub, staff really attentive and friendly great food at a great price, if I lived in Hale I'd definitely have it as my local

Good ol'pub, large pub, multi side rooms and loads of TVs

A real pub with real punters. Nice staff and good Robinsons beer. Visited for the first time in years and was impressed.

One of the last standing traditional local pubs, a hub for the local community. Family run.Great staff, drinks, snacks and live sports. Traditional vault, darts room and posh side. Fabulous.

Great pub, very friendly staff and great choice of drinks

Very nice place to have a drink good atmosphere casual dress normal

Love it in here. Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and lovely "posh" pies!

This review is best presented in bullet point format: - Exceptional selection of beers including the best Guinness outside of London - Shows all relevant sports channels - Plenty of seats - Always enough staff working so never really any time spent queuing at the bar - Wouldn’t consider ordering food, just go to any one of the local Hale restaurants close by - Christmas Party superb - Two dart boards (free to use, just ask behind the bar) - Alan, the landlord, very personable and welcoming 10/10 - a no nonsense proper drinking pub.

Decent pub for watching football in. Very friendly staff

Small local pub with a lovely atmosphere. They also show live football.

Ambience, service both excellent

Good pub, reasonable prices and good selection of real ales! Great atmosphere.

Food is alright, nothing special. Usual pub grub. Beer range is OK, but expensive for estrella

Although came here when the football was on, it seemed a nice little homely pub that accepts doggies

Great night bar staff first class and to add a little bit extra we had some live music and a 90th birthday party to go with a tremendous atmosphere see you guys again in April

This place offers a good range of beers which are all very well kept. The range of food is good with plenty of choices. Prices are reasonable. The staff are very attentive and helpful

Good range of drinks, good selection of food, free area, DOGS ALLOWED, lots of TV screens working sports

Smells like a pub looks like a pub and serves good beer. A real drinkers pub. Food limited to pies which unfortunately we were not able to try on this occasion.

Only old fashioned pub in town. Food good value, drinks fine and staff always good for a laugh.

Brilliant establishment. Good range of beer and excellent staff. The food is first rate. Must be the in place for locals

Nice pub in an affluent area of Manchester pubular with the locals

Standard British pub -- several small rooms offer a modicum of privacy. Ducked in to avoid a a downpour so wasn't expecting much. They delivered a standard pint in standard fashion. Enough said.

Proper English pub. Great beer. Popular with both locals and travellers. Robinsons.

Good pub. Traditional and homely.

Great selection of beers and excellent service!
