Railway in Wirral

Pretty gross, bathroom was vile, tables were sticky. Food was just about edible... but staff were nice enough.

Lovely staff but food was freezing cold 🥶😫

Food lovely could do with a face lift

Often almost full - which is probably best best review. Comfortable seating. Great pub food at a decent low price. Helpful staff. TVs on for important football games - a definite benefit. Clean toilets. Free spacious parking.

Went to pub for Liverpool game, great atmosphere Ben was great and welcoming definitely coming back

Went for a quick bite with friends, service was fast and Ben and staff were great

Had the fish and chips. Fish was delicious

Busy due to school holidays but staff smiling, patient and friendly. Food options varied and tasty

Great time with mates, drinks quick at the bar served by Ben. Food also great. Would come back!

The other day I had wonderful experience at the railway , a lovely young girl, I think her name was Niamh , she had a very warm and friendly personality towards me and my family , will definitely be returning soon!

I like this place but last few times I've been it's been pretty grimy with plates, glasses and sauce bottle left on unused tables etc. Hope it's not going downhill as its good value, friendly and the food is nice.

Pre booked for a table of 13 (9 adults, 4 kids) for 26th Aug. My son requested to eat there to celebrate his 7th birthday with the family. When we arrived a table for 9 had been set up but it wasn’t a problem and they sorted a table for 13 quickly for us. Service was great, Jodie was especially wonderful. Unfortunately the veggie lasagna we ordered was firstly over done to the point it was burnt to the dish and very watery so it was sent back and a fresh one was requested. 2nd one to come out was undercooked and watery. Jodie was very approachable and apologetic about the meal and offered for a new meal off the menu to be cooked which was with us within 10min and was good. We were refunded for that one meal without asking which was great. It was a lovely time with family and the food wasn’t the main reason we were there but unfortunately the food was just ok. Service on the other hand is amazing, the team is really nice and Jodie was really lovely.

Lovely meal with family on a Sunday afternoon, quite busy as expected so best to book the table as we did. A good choice of food including vegan options. Food came in good time and service was good too. Will return soon .

Came with a few friends for a meal, fast service and food was delicious. Ben and Brydie looked after us well will definitely be coming back.

Classy venue. Handsome chap in the burgundy top (think his name is Ben) is arguably the best bartender in the whole of West Wirral. Brydie was excellent too. Will definitely be coming back.

Great food and service. Really good for live sports as they have plenty of TVs and a large projector screen, along with a pool table. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

We came over from Liverpool to treat my nephew & his son to a Birthday lunch. We were told by the server at the bar that there was a 45 minute wait which we accepted.But we didn't expect was 3 meals to turn up in dribs and draps and 1 meal not to appear at all!! We were not offered a refund until my husband insisted then the young lady now at the till reluctantly agreed. As you can imagine my disappointment in your establishment and I will never recommend it to anyone. If you and your team continue in this vein you will be heading for closure pretty soon. We were at table 68 and we arrived at 2pm, there was a lady also complaining about the way one of your workers had dealt with her children, she didn't appear impressed !!

Really good food and quick service. The staff are very friendly too and there’s always a good atmosphere in the pub

Good quality food, would definitely recommend.

Great food and great service. Food is always amazing everytine we visit.

Staff great. Atmosphere good. Plenty of parking. Food served quickly. Food low standard. Medium rare was well done rare, didn't think you could do that. Chicken was dry. Burgers dry.

lovely food, amazing service, was served by brydie who catered to all of my needs and made sure i was satisfied, would highly recommend

Brydie was polite and made sure we had everything we needed. Will be coming back.

Was served by the lovely Brydie, great service

Last time i had food here it was shoccking so i have not returned till my daughter said we should go there. I had the mixed grill and it was under cooked and taste 🤢i have put it in take away bag for my dog but probably bin it .as it not my dogs flaut

Food is lovely reasonably priced dog friendly too

Quality food at good prices served by a team of staff that know what hospitality is all about!

Last time I came here was about 10 years ago when I lived in Moreton I used to go here all the time with my two sons it is my birthday today so me and my grandchildren went here for a birthday treat but I was disgusted with the way the place is now. We went to sit down at a table but it was filthy so my daughter went to the bar and asked one of the many members of staff who were just standing round doing nothing .one came to the table and wiped it but never cleared the food that fell on the floor ( and there was a lot !!) So we went to another table but that one was messy to!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

Came for a friends birthday, Rob and Ben very friendly on the bar looked after us all night. Food was excellent and fast would definitely recommend.

The general manager, Libby, was very friendly and helpful! She made great suggestions for our choice of food. The 8oz Steak Sizzler was cooked to perfection and the Fish and Chips was spot on. The pub was very busy at the time giving it a great atmosphere, and we felt very comfortable and happy. The other customers seemed to be enjoying themselves too which was lovely and welcoming. Absolutely will be visiting again!

Came for the football, friendly pub served by Ben all night. Would recommend.

Bridey served me at the bar and was great

This morning had an excellent breakfast experience

Great food with ample portions at reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

After numerous visits with issues on each visit I feel I am not being unfair with these ratings. The first visit most of the drinks were wrong , the next visit the food orders did not follow the instructions of the online order. The same with the next visit and finally today toast requested ,and paid for ,with my breakfast and they claimed it didn’t show that on their monitor so I showed them my order on the App so they told me they would put some on for me but it didn’t come until I had finished eating my whole breakfast so it was a waste of time telling them of their mistake. We had hoped to continue to meet at this venue every Monday but enough is enough we are going elsewhere. Goodness knows what it’s like if they get busy because there was only my family and three other people in the whole pub!

Maybe try it sometime. I had reserved a place for the European Championship final. However, that was a dirty cat table right by the kitchen. Not nice.

Brydie absolutely fantastic, great service.

Amazing pub amazing atmosphere Ben and bridie on the bar where great will definitely come again

We love the railway! Staff at are always very friendly and welcoming, we love a family meal on a Friday and it always delivers! Great range great price and great welcome what more can you ask for Brodie was great as always

Lovely meal on a quiet Tuesday evening, excellent service throughout.

Came up from London with my family to visit my Son and his Partner family. We had our evening meal with the family. The food was very nice and the Staff are very nice and helpful. Will definitely going back there next trip

Firstly, don't think 3 stars means this is no good, the Railway is probably the best value for money I have experienced in a very long time, however it is lacking in certain aspects. Food - exceptional value, paid somewhere around £40 for lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids including drinks. Food was of acceptable quality, however my gammon did not come with pineapple as advertised (not bothered, but someone else might be) and was so salty it actually made my lips numb. All the other food was fine. Drinks - good quality cask ales for very good prices. Service - could not fault in any way. Atmosphere - the place is a bit dated, carpets could use a refresh, however toilets were clean, tables were clean.

Stopped off at The Railway Pub today. Only had a cappincino. I couldn't get over how big the pub was inside so had to take pictures and share. Staff was friendly and the pub has a welcome feeling to it. It's dog and child friendly place aswell. They also serve breakfast until 12pm. 😀

Came for a few drinks with friends, served by Ben all night who looked after us. Very nice pub would definitely recommend

You know what you are getting so not bad for a cheap and cheerful meal. Place desperately needs re decorating though.

We were walking from Leasowe to Hoylake and this pub is very conveniently placed for lunch. Been coming here for quite a few years as it's always provided good food and drink at a reasonable price. One of it's Special offers on Tuesdays was their "Mix it" offer which was a bargain at £7.50, reduced by £4. We all ordered it and it arrived fairly quickly. It was quite large and was very tasty too. Nice selection of drinks and service was very good. Plenty of parking spaces. If you do call in here ask one of the locals about the Viking ship buried in the car park..

Baguette wasn't cooked properly melted cheese was two cheese slices o. half cooked baguette coleslaw tasted a bit dodgy chips were nice though

Always amazing nails. Thank you 😊

Very good Greeneking pub, came for a big meal with lots of people and they accommodated very well. Was a small wait for some, but not by much. Being able to use my blue light card forn20% off food was an excellent bonus.

Exellent venue good food menu tasty well presented

Had my birthday meal here. First off we made a reservation, they then said it wasn’t on the system so we had to wait for a table because there was quite a few of us. Then when we got a table there wasn’t enough room for everyone ( think there was about 12 of us ). Then when we were finally satasfied, food took a whole hour too come, which we were warned about so can’t complain. Discounts weren’t valid as it was bank holiday. Food was a 3/10, most of ours was cold, service is always good but needs upgrading urgently.

We took visiting friends for lunch ( their first visit) The young man (Rob) who took firstly our drink order, then later our food order, was extremely pleasant and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit It is our regular eating place and we're pleased that our friends also enjoyed their first visit. Thank you

Recently, I went for a birthday meal with some friends. We ate some excellent food, the staff were all friendly, polite and helpful. Unfortunately I only recall 1 member of staff whose name is Rob or Robert. I'm an excessively fussy eater and he listened to my requests and made helpful suggestions. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending it to all of my friends. All of your staff are a credit to your company and a pleasure to be served by.

We come weekly and never been let down staff are always welcoming and helpful. customers are always asking about our boxing club that we run weekly in railway the manger Lisa is enjoying participating in the boxing herself we had a breakfast wrap after our session which was lovely and came out on time

Very disappointed ☹️ No dips included with ultimate big combo. Smothered sizzling steak didn't even hiss. Would not recommend or return.

Great evening at the railway. Had the Korean burger, which was great. Service was really good from Rob. I'll definitely be back.

the girl with the blue eyes on the bar think she's called Brydie was great

Wrong meals no staff very poor all round won't be going to soon again

Long story this one guys apologies in advance. Was proper belting it down in the Costa del Meols you know me, I'm always up for some food. Sat down in the booth with the little telly by the entrance. Chefs kiss. Best seat in the house, but as I was devouring my quadzilla burger with extra chips and onion rings (no mayo cos I'm not a boff) some dude (think his name was like Aaron) started dipping his fingers in my side dish of chicken tikka and licking it off his fingers). Minging. In other news, would fully recommend. Top scrannage hotspot in the mean streets of Meols. 5/5. Belter.

Food was great, very tasty. 1 or 2 of the waiting staff could do with smiling a little but service was OK.

Absolutely lovely atmosphere, staff were more than polite. Summah was outstanding when it service, she was right to us when we had any questions. Food was delicious, steak was gorgeous, absolutely mouth watering. Mocktails were my favourite. Absolutely refreshing. The pitcher jugs that my mocktails came in were absolutely beautiful. Sam was great when it came to taking my order. He considered if I had any allergies or dietary needs. PUDDING was bangin , gooey chocolate brownie was absolutely scrumptious. The warm chocolate melted in my mouth. I will be returning to the railway for another absolutely delicious meal. I will sharing my experience with my beautiful family and Friends.

Came for a few drinks with my friends, served by Ben and Hugo all night were amazing would definitely recommend

Booked a table . Went to bar to order food and get a drink . I was totally ignored by the staff , waited 20 minutes to be served still ignored . So I walked out total waist of my time

Came for breakfast this morning. Food was delicious and cooked very well, seemed very good quality for the price point. Staff were friendly and attentive. First ever visit will be returning.

Amazing food service is a little slow but was busy so can't really complain much

Never would set foot in this place again place was filthy staff couldn't care less food awful toilets minging I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy if I could use less stars I would

Great for a quick bite with the kids. Food was great and had really good friendly service from Jodie. Will return when nexton the Wirral seeing family.

Lovely friendly staff who were very helpful. I went with my family, we went during a football match not my thing, but everyone was friendly and loud atmosphere. The food was delicious. A little long of a wait for food but it was a really busy period every table was filled was about a 45 minute wait for food.

Good pub food. Service was very slow, 45 minutes because the pub was packed. Very reasonably priced as wel. It can be noisy when packed, but then it's good for business

Good food. Great selection on menu. Good mocktail choice. Staff friendly but service was a bit on the slow side.

Very nice for a pub chain, looks good from the outside although the pub sign was unusual as the venue is called the Railway but the sign is a boat! Inside is large clean warm and comfortable, the staff were excellent and both the cask beer (Green King) and coffee very good. The location is just a short walk downhill from Meols railway station which is in the Merseyrail network. The town is known as the birthplace of the 80s band OMD

Decent meal and service. Not too busy and very reasonably priced

Amazing food and Lisa was so welcoming.

Went for dinner with family, served by Aiden and Ben, very fast and friendly service. Would definitely recommend

We were very pleased with our visit to the railway the staff were very welcoming we got served by Sam on the bar who was very friendly and was offering all the extras that were available with our mains we had ruby as our waiter who was also very friendly and offered us desserts or coffees as she cleared our tables Highly recommend this place the service was really quick and the deals are amazing

Worse Sunday roast ever had in any restaurant/pub ever,beef was so tough we had to leave it couldn't chew it Yorkshire pud been in microwave so soft could have spread on bread don't know how many times veg had been in microwave many times I would guess soft roast potatoes , not our first visit here last time the Sunday dinner was lovely what's happened!!!!!!

Great meal tonight, 8oz, sizzling platter, definitely be going again.

Food is disgusting, microwave stodge. Bar service incredibly slow and not a comfortable place to spend an evening, not my cup of tea but if you want a full plate of food and you aren't fussy it will be ok for you

Went for for this evening, Ben and sam were very helpful and looked after us. Food was great would definitely recommend

Good beer, didn't try the food. Gets quiet quite early, so it's not ideal for a late night. Just what I picked up from a Saturday night visit

A lovely, large and grand building with plenty of space. Well maintained with exceptional friendly staff, Emma is a delight and so helpful. Great food with seasonal changes. Served quickly by kitchen and waiting on staff. Great for sport on big screens and some small screens in booths. A bar area and a lounge area. Adequate parking, disabled friendly and an accessible toilet. Very friendly pub and as a bonus - dogs allowed, water and bowls available! Definitely worth a visit. Most staff are really helpful and more than accommodating - on this visit, Aidan, Jodie and particularly Emma, who is always smiling, were outstanding and couldn't have done enough. Well done, team Railway!

Handy local for a quick bite to eat. Plenty of sports on various TVs if you like that sort of thing. We tend to go about once a fortnight. The menu is pretty good with plenty of options and the prices reasonable.

Came with the wife for tea, Sam the manager was very helpful and the service was fast and efficient will be back soon!

Very friendly staff, place was spotless food was great

We called into this pub early on a Sunday for a breakfast. On arrival all staff where polite and wished us good morning. The breakfast menu is vast but I made my selection eventually. I ordered a Latte and the super special breakfast. The prices are very reasonable which is pleasing in these times of inflation and over priced menus in other locations. Ordering was quick and efficient via the bar. The food and drink arrived quickly. There is a great selection of condiments to choose from too. The breakfast was cooked well and piping hot. Again the value for money regarding this breakfast was surprising. I have no qualms, the food went down a treat. I will return in the future 👌👍

Good food, fast service, and friendly staff and customers, would recommend it to everyone.

Great food friendly atmosphere and service great staff second to none I highly recommend you visit if u are in the area

I am 67 years old and I can tell you that my meal at The Railway at Meols (Hungry Horse) is the worst meal ever set in front of me, EVER! And that is saying something because I have been through a lot in my life. I had chosen the Burger Sizzler Combo. A double cheeseburger, rump steak and chicken wings with lots of extras. At first glance it didn't look that good but being very hungry I tucked in. First the steak. I cut a piece and started chewing and chewing and chewing and chewing, not really tasting of anything but no amount of chewing was going to make it any better so i spat it out. I tried another piece with the same result and finished up spitting it out too. So I tried the burger, it was just horrible, it was very dry and tasted disgusting. I'm not sure what the taste was but couldn't keep it in my mouth long enough to explore it further. My wife's meal was no better. Chicken skewers with rice and side salad.  The chicken was dry and looked disgusting. The salad, rice and whatever else it was supposed to be was just mush, definitely not what you would want to put in your mouth. I went to complain to the manager and he refunded the food without even looking at it and he didn't look until my wife insisted. He was full of apologies and excuses but clearly this is very common. The least he could have done in recompense was refund the drinks, but not even that! Just avoid this place, stay hungry. You are probably best without food than eating at this place. If you want budget food, go to Weatherspoons! It is positively Michelin chef compared to hungry horse.

Just had a great breakfast with the family. Bar staff really good with order and service.

We have been to visit again today and Lisa recognised us straight away and a lovely welcome. Food was lovely as always.

Went for our usual monthly visit wonderful food as usual. Lisa always has a smile and stops for a chat. The atmosphere in the railway is always pleasant.

Really busy tonight but didn't affect service. Lots of different food requests all met. Well done to Summah our server too.

Good food. Big delay on one child’s meal. Bloody brioche buns, as advertised but I’ll still moan. Usual delay on pudding ie no prep until main plates collected. Service okay.

Quick service and meals where a good size

Food and drink good, food hot and served quickly

First time here ,very friendly staff straight away ,we had roast turkey ,and a roast beef, proper roast dinner lots of meat and extra gravy without asking , will be back 100% ..

Great for drinks with friends, meals with family, or a quick pint after work. Manager Lisa has got the place in great shape! Favourite local in Hoylake/Meols.

Lovely staff, excellent service by Ben and Hugo absolutely lovely would recommend.

Lovely lunch time meal with friends and our three dogs. First visit in a long time. Made to feel very welcome. Excellent food.

Sunday evening and was very busy. Most of the tables were pre-booked but space was found for party of 3. Meals ordered and arrived within the half hour delay suggested, due to busy period. Meals were all hot, and very tasty. Tables cleared fairly promptly. The staff were really attentive and provided assistance where required. A local haunt and continues to be so. Would definitely recommend.
