Railway Inn in Suffolk Coastal - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very nice pub in framlingham for the beer festival weekend. Our daughter sang there as part the lineup. 😊

Cracking pub with a great selection of ales and games room. Will visit again next time I'm in the area

We popped in on mother's Day While visiting Framingham castle And the Railway Inn was most welcoming Would certainly visit again

Great pub, garden out back boules yard. Nice patio out front great for cat hin the sun. Are not doing food as they were badly flooded recently. But will hopefully continue when it gets warmer. Best pub in Framlingham

Great food great company good beer.

Nice pub. Friendly and welcoming. Visited twice. Ales well kept. Only drank so can't comment on food. Well worth a visit. Recommended.

Popped in for lunch and a snack. Nice beer garden friendly staff. Bacon and Brie Baguette with salad was nice. We found it easy to park opposite the pub too.

Superb-service , lovely traditional local vibe with great food that exceeds value for money. Dog friendly 🐾

Lovely warm welcome and staff so helpful and charming . Hamburger delicious and would highly recommend . Hope to return during our visit from Switzerland .

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, family, dogs all so welcoming. A proper English pub, interesting people everyone so very friendly. Pool table, darts, etc children’s book and games, amazing outside garden area, very clean and very good prices. If you are in Framlingham I would 100% recommend a visit, sit back enjoy the sunshine and the atmosphere.

We stumbled upon an afternoon quiz this Sunday gone, it really looked as though all were enjoying their drinks questions judging from laughter that was heard

Down to earth pub, helpful staff and good response on Google messages

An ok pub. Maybe a tad too bright lighting.

Friendly service. The pint of Shipyard did not taste as good as I've previously tasted. The bar area was busy and due to all the hard surfaces the acoustics of this cold room made it quite loud. There are two further rooms behind this first, one having tv/sport and pool table.

A nice friendly pub with plenty of space and different rooms. Good outdoor spaces too. Staff were brilliant. Would I go there again, most definitely.

My favourite pub in Framlingham.

Proper pub. Unpretentious, Adnam's on tap, friendly bar staff. Nice one.

Best Cold pint in Framlingham...

Nice pub with friendly staff and a pool table that actually has enough room around the outside to play on. Lots of seating with two outdoor areas as well.

We have visited The Railway Inn a couple of times recently, the second time being for food after spotting everyone eating during our first visit and it all looking so appetising. It is such a welcoming, unpretentious place and the food did not disappoint, it was excellent.

Great lively pub with with all ages having a good time! A must visit for tourists also 😀

Happened upon this delightful Inn when out for a walk with friends. Haven't been to the area before and don't usually have a Sunday lunch, but was tempted by the friendly atmosphere and quiet ambiance of the place. The four of decided lunch it would be and two vegetarian option, a roast beef and a pork later and we were all stuffed and surprised at the quality. "A real home cooked Sunday roast'. Thanks you the staff that day from 4 very happy passers by.

Had a lovely roast dinner and dessert 10/10 many thanks.x

Four of us were visiting Framlingham castle on Sunday 24th October and we stumbled across the Railway Inn looking for lunch. They were offering an excellent Sunday roast with a choice of meats, we all had the beef and it was really good. The vegetables were super fresh and the service first class. We all had a pudding from their very traditional choices and they were really nice. A two course meal for £15 per person was superb value and they really deserve to do well. We will certainly re-visit when we are next in the area.

Excellent breakfast this morning. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. My breakfast bap was perfect, best quality sausage, bacon and a delicious runny egg.

I have been to this fantastic run pub on numerous occasions the landlord is a top bloke the beer is always Cold and poured writhing great finesse by one of the many bar staff I’m not sure if it is one person working or 10 as by the time I leave the pub I normally have a little wobble on🍻🤪 it’s also a dog friendly pub and after watching the dogs eat the biscuits they are that good and my god they are to die for!!

Probably the best Local pub in Fram. Good selection of Beers and Lagers. Nice staff, good grub. Can even bring your dog for a Sunday pint in the garden.

A very good choice on the menu. Had the mushroom risotto with Venison and it was delicious only just had enough room for a pud. Friendly staff

Nice drinkers pub. Food was basic pub grub but was cooked well and tasted good.

Lovely pub evening that was ruined by unpleasant staff complaining about our table ordering drinks on separate phones, this is fine, but the way they told us threatening to kick us out the pub for doing so felt very unprofessional for something that we were not aware of being an issue.

Stopped in a few years ago and had a quick beer while galavanting across East Anglia. Lovely little spot for a pint!

Lovely afternoon spent watching the world go by in the sunshine. Good beer and very attentive staff. Will definitely be back 😁🍻.

The best and friendliest pub we found in Framlingham on a a sunny Saturday. A great selection of drinks and food. Very attentive and friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. All the other pubs in Fram need to visit to see how it should be done. Would recommend The Railway Inn to everyone.

Excellent beer garden at rear and very Covid safe. Great service, very friendly and tasty local BBQ food. Highly recommended.

Not expecting much during partial lockdown, hence only garden seats on a cold weekend. Probably wouldn't have been good either, except for... 1: nicely laid out garden 2: beer hut in the beer garden so the table service was fast 3: (and most importantly) staff who were so welcoming and attentive outside despite that they must have been feeling the cold! ...well done for opening, and congratulations on creating such a nice place in these adverse times - you deserve more customers for the efforts you've put in.

The Railway has a lovely beer garden that we didn't even know was there! Very safe and wonderfully organised, we went for a drink. Lovely staff were always attentive and helpful especially the very efficient Kiera. Definitely recommend!

We have been fortunate to have Sunday roast take away meals from The Railway Inn during lockdown. Excellent, generous portion, traditional Sunday roast.

A bit average. Puds are definitely "ping, ping". But ok.

This is a nice local pub on Station Road about 5 minutes walk South-West from the Market Square in Framlingham. Inside, the decor is traditional, to the rear there is a lovely spacious and secluded garden with an outside bar. The owner and staff are welcoming, social distancing is sensibly enforced, and the ales are really good too.

Came in here for drinks for friends birthday, there was 6 of us. 4 had to sit on one table whilst two others sat close. Drinks were reasonable. Place contained locals. We returned later after visiting a few other pubs and the staff were very accommodating and friendly.. outside back area has been done up and large Ian outside area to the side with picnic tables. They do bbqs on the weekend.

Definitely a locals bar A little off the beaten track Worth a visit COVID distancing in force Enjoying a Corona

Had a great lunch, worth trying the all day breakfast.

Popped in the the Railway Inn to see if they had room for two for a late lunch. Right from the go get, the hospitality was amiable and attentive. You really got the impression that the young couple running the place were hard working, committed and had hospitality experience. The Sunday lunch menu was succinct, which was actually refreshing as this clearly is a drinking pub first, with a wide range of beers and guest beers. The roast dinner came up fresh, piping hot and plenty of it. There were lots of vegetables and they were perfectly cooked. It was a great value two course Sunday lunch and we left replete. The one thing that really made it for me was the lovely, friendly, attentive staff and the locals around the bar, who clearly frequent this pub because it has such a nice atmosphere and is well fun. The pub was also very dog friendly, which really helped us. Decor simple, rustic and clean and tidy. Really enjoyed the experience and hope to come back one day. Thank you Railway Inn.

Very nice Sunday lunch servers the Inn.

Lovely spot for lunch. Well located close to parking and centre of town

Service friendly. Food ok though not spectacular. Large portions. A good selection of beer when we went due to a beer festival at the weekend.

Not a great atmosphere. Not a great selection in tap. The food is supposed to be good. It's a dog friendly pub and quite quiet.

Lovely place to go out on Friday night with friends or colleagues

We went out for the evening for a birthday celebration and were a party of nine. The quality of the food was very good and the service too. One meal was overcooked and replaced when mentioned. I enjoyed a steak which was very tender but such a small portion of 5 pototo wedges and a few spears of asparagus and beans. It wouldn't have taken much for me to rate this five stars!

All I need to say for £11 for Sunday roast with dessert was 10/10 best around by miles Choice of beef chicken or pork. Loved it.

Beautiful, friendly and cost pub. Staff are welcoming and easy going Menu is limited but all food ordered was delicious and tasted as wonderful as it looked The three separate rooms in the pub were a lovely addition to our experience as we could choose to eat in one room and then go to a separate room to play pool and darts A wonderful place. Highly recommended.

If you're going to go there on a Sunday for a roast, make sure you book otherwise you will get turned away. It doesn't or didn't say anywhere we had to do this and they turned 6 plus a young child away. Other than that it is a nice pub with a pool table and darts in the back.

Very nice local pub, stopped by travelling through.. warm staff, good food, big portions. Perfect. Will defiantly be back if coming past again.

Nice local pub with friendly staff. Draft beer selection a bit limited, bearing in mind the plethora of local brews, but that's me being picky. Friendly and efficient staff!

Homemade Bailey's cheesecake for desert after a magnificent roast !!. It doesn't get any better than this . Well done Barry and the team

Great friendly pub and good value for money. Had lunch here today and was really impressed. Lovely fresh food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely return next time I'm in Framlingham.

Great pub with a good atmosphere, nice people, cheap beer

last three years we visit in this area at least a week for holiday . this time we found a fantastic pub in a small village. nice food, wide rang of drink menu.

One of my favourite pubs. Good beer and excellent games room

We called in here on a recent stay in Framlingham, and spent a very pleasant couple of hours, the Ghost Ship and the rose wine slipped down very nicely. The very friendly barmaid made us feel very welcome and the locals were friendly, we would definitely call in here again if in the area.

We have eaten here often as we are lucky enough to live only a few miles away. The service is excellent and very friendly, and the traditional pub food is always of a high quality.For us the stand out meals are the chilli nachos, beef chilli, fish and chips, steak and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding. Of special mention though are the Sunday roasts, so good we even had our Christmas dinner here!Excellent value and generous portions.

Had yet another top notch meal here on Sunday. Choice of roast beef, chicken or pork with all the trimmings and a choice of puddings for only £11.50. Food quality was excellent and there was plenty of it. Other options were available from the menu too. Staff all very friendly and efficient and pleasant atmosphere, what else could you want!👍👍😊

We booked a table for Sunday lunch at the Railway Inn as we were heading home from a weekend away via Framlingham. We had a choice of three roasts or standard menu and we all selected the roast beef. It was honestly the best roast dinner any of us have had in a pub or restaurant for years. Delicious tender beef, perfectly cooked veg and extra gravy (you can't beat extra gravy!!). Followed up with sticky toffee pudding and all for £11.50. Friendly service and good wholesome food. We wish we lived nearer! Thanks for the perfect end to our weekend!

Friendly good old fashioned pub.

Great atmosphere , great food and well kept beer , unspoilt and that's what's so nice about this place. Helpful, polite , accommodating staff , don't change a thing

Usually considered the best pub in Framingham amongst my friends, especially at Christmas and New Year's where you can usually see anyone and everyone you have ever met in the area over the years. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Bars are quite small but serving is fast. Great pub. You will have to park somewhere else and walk to get here.

Not much to look at from outside but do yourself a favour and check this place out...Great service with a smile and the food was wonderful! Not fussy but home cooked and well presented. Even the chicken nuggets were proper chicken and home made. Best meal so far on our visit!

Good regular pub serving basic pub grub.

Overall this pub is nice but I wouldn’t say anything overly special. Lady (who believe is probably landlady) was really friendly and accommodating, the food was lovely and I can’t fault it however the menu was rather basic in comparison to others around the area. Overall I wasn’t awe inspired over this place and it just didn’t stand out on this occasion.

If you intend eating here you usually need to book as it is very popular. It is sort of a near gastro-pub. But not too poncey. And well worth a visit if you are from outside the area. Locals will know it!

Enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal for Fathers Day. Lovely big prawns in the prawn cocktail and the roast beef was delicious. Proper cooking, home made roasties and yorkies. Very friendly and polite staff, thoroughly enjoyable meal. Highly recommed.

Exceeded expectations as we expected good standard pub fayre, what we got was excellent, and filling portions with yummy home made colesalw

Really nice pub a great food open all day

Came here to watch the Champions League final and even though the night was disappointing especially if you were a Liverpool supporter the general atmosphere was jovial and friendly.

Very friendly pub and nice people

We ate on a Monday based on a recommendation from a friend. We were two couples, and despite arriving rather early for our reservation we were warmly welcomed by a very pleasant lady and shown to our table. The Railway is one of those unpretentious town pubs that does the most delicious food and provides excellent service in a quiet, efficient way. It's an Adnams house, by the way, the the men thoroughly enjoyed their pints of Ghost Ship. Our meals arrived promptly and were beautifully presented. Between us we had fish and chips (excellent), steak and ale pie (5-star!) and a chicken and bacon salad (10/10). Absolutely no complaints about anything - all delicious, hot and tasty, and sensibly priced. The pub quickly filled up with other couples lunching, so it's reputation really is well-deserved. Highly recommended.

They keep good southwold bitter

Haven't eaten here but a nice local pub, always made tonfeel welcome. Does get busy with students, which for a market town is actually quite refreshing. Great place.... Only gripe, their Becks Blue is always warm Not so good if you're driving 😕

Very nice pub, with good adnams selection. Very nice food too. Games room out the back, and separate room available for hire. Friendly staff and dog! Boules court out the back. My favourite pub in Framlingham so far.

Great pub. Lovely food, good bear. Top staff

Great family lunch with plenty of choices of tasty food in a friendly atmosphere of proper country pub! Dogs are welcome, always a bonus!

We received a warm welcome from the staff, who were also very helpful in arranging a taxi for us (which apparently is a little difficult in Framlingham!)

We received a warm welcome on a cold evening - glad we had reserved a table as the place was heaving and as a result quite noisy. But the food was delicious, well-selected wines - and beers. Easy to park right outside.

Decent beer Apparently food was tasty

Lovely pub child friendly dog friendly!@! Fantastic food and staff

Good "homely" fare. Reasonable pricing. Pleasant atmosphere during our lunchtime visit.

Only popped in for one drink. Lots of dogs. Good beer and friendly crowd. Lots of locals. Didn’t try any food. Worth a revisit.

Great pub. Excellent live music in the back room. Good music venue.

We were on holiday recently close to Framlingham, the first time in the area. As a powerchair user requiring flat access I found the majority of the places in the area inaccessible. After having to leave without getting into another pub I approached the Railway with not much hope but a lovely customer sat outside must have overheard me and shouted to me to come down the side, he opened the door for me and directed me into the Snug. Job done. Lovely staff who served my husband (who uses a white cane) and myself at our table without having to move, our drinks as well as food. This made us feel very welcome. We loved the ""proper pub" feel and pub menu rather than a pub being a restaurant as so often happens. We both chose the bubble and squeak, one with sausages and one with ham. Thickest ham we have ever had, sausages were lovely and bubble and squeak excellent. We would have loved to try the puds but we were full. By the standards we are use to meals weren't particularly cheap (probably reflected local prices) but we thought we had had good value as the quality was excellent. Sorry didn't need the loos so can't comment as to whether they were accessible. As I had parked on a town centre car park didn't pay too much attention to parking, don't think there is any disabled parking as such and if parked in the town it is a bit out but worth the walk/wheel. Would definitely go again when in Framlingham.

Myself and a few friends popped in for a meal on a Saturday night. I was fully aware it was 8.20 and they stopped serving food at 8.30 and explained that if it was a problem then we would eat else where as there were a couple of other tables and a hen do in the other room. The red head barmaid came across annoyed that we had walked in and went to ask the head chef (even though we arrived before they stopped serving food) if it was okay to eat here. The head chef kindly agreed to cater for us. After being seated we ordered our drinks and food as quickly as possible. Sadly, we overheard the barmaid talking about our group to the people sitting on the stools around the bar and we were made to feel uncomfortable and a burden. However, the food was delicious, the portions were generous and we were even greeted by the landlords dog.

Great selection of beers,Adnams ghost ship for me, great value lovely pub grub and a lovely friendly atmosphere with the locals and dog friendly.enjoy the summer sunshine in the front patio or rear garden Or play pool and watch the sport in the games room.

With a group of friends, and stopped for lunch.out in the back garden we had a great 2course Sunday lunch for £12.00 lots of roast beef, roasted potatoes, 3 different types of veg, Yorkshire pudding and lashes of gravey, with agood selection of puddings for afters. Wonderful. ?

Beautiful roast beef dinner cooked to perfection ...

My partner and I visited the Railway Inn on 2 occasions whilst we stayed in Framlingham. We found the bar to be well stocked and the staff were very friendly. A good place to have a relax over a couple of drinks.

Great pub and wonderful welcome

Have been using the "rails" for many years as a drinking hole when passing through and was pleased to find it still open.

We live locally and visit from time to time, but once a year we go to The Railway with friends from afar who come to visit, although originally from the town too. They all agreed the food has improved since they were last here. We had some starters and six mains. From the delicious Suffolk sausages, to the fine Suffolk ham, the excellent fish and the chicken we all enjoyed our meals. Friendly efficient service with a smile. As we are all retired folk, we found the portions very generous. We shall be visiting again, but here's to next year's reunion lunch.

I love a quiet and friendly drink in all of Framlingham's lovely pubs and can wholeheartedly recommend any of them - except the Railway. The owner is a nasty and rude man who has no concept of customer service. I've just been spoken in such a disgusting manner that I ended up asking for a refund for my order and leaving without drinking it! Wow! That's never happened to me in Suffolk before!

Good selection of draught beers, atmosphere left a lot to be desired.

Always a great crowd of people to catch up with. Good food too.
