Railway Inn in South Derbyshire

We didn't eat there so I couldn't comment on the subject but atmosphere and service was good and an ideal location on the A511 Burton Rd in Midway, Swadlincote with ample parking. Next time we will try the food there to give comments. But certainly worth a visit and prices reasonable recommended. Thank you Railway Inn.

Went with family for a Sunday carvery it was gorgeous plenty of choice of veg all cooked to perfection, fabulous welcome from Jamie young lady serving us at table was lovely and great fun and very polite and professional shame the brewery aren't keeping them on after they work so hard to make it nice and provide such great entertainment nights when they've gone I shan't bother going again I was going to book it for my 70th birthday party but if Jamie isn't there and his family I will go somewhere else

Heard about the railway from a mate I thought I would give it to dry excellent great choice of meat and vegetables will definitely go again and I will certainly past the word on

It’s a really good value carvery and the staff went the extra mile.

1st time in there staff was so helpful nd nice we had a carvery for £10.50 u can get smaller nd larger but was well enough for standard was very impressed will go again there's plenty of rooms like t day bank holiday weekend there was live music in 1 we was in sports bar there's a lounge nd a restaurant yea if u local or around the area give it a go I can recommend it Well happy with the place Thank you tonthe lovely staff nd young lass or served us in sports bar there's darts nd a pool table too

It was nice & quiet in bar, enjoyed it

Great food and beer. Friendly staff. Can't fault this really good honest pub

Came for the first time this afternoon with our little one for a Sunday Carvery. Overall, a lovely service and great food! :) Lovely family owned pub, friendly chill atmosphere. Will be returning for sure!

Our friends booked us in today to try the carvery. Never been here before as its out of town for us, but my god, we are coming back. This is probably the best carvery I've ever had. Myself and two others opted for the large plate which was about £12-13 and we were stunned at the platter size plates. It is proper home cooked food, the meat was delicious and of a high quality, and cooked perfectly. You get proper portions of it too. The veg was amazing, particularly the cauliflower/broccoli cheese, the leek and cabbage, and the roast vegetables. But it's often the little touches; the inclusion of a plastic spoon for a toddler (never get that anywhere), being made to feel welcome by the staff, who were excellent, friendly and helpful and know how to pull a decent beer. Also, it was explained that little goes to waste, being used as feed for the animals outside. Amazing job Railway Inn, we will be back.

Very good food very good service

Not been in for years and they have made a difference with the look plus a great outside area. The staff was polite and friendly.

Roll down the tracks to The Railway in Swadlincote, steered by the unstoppable force of fun, Jenny and Jamie, aka the 'Annie Rexic' dream team. This cozy nook is a love locomotive, where every puff of laughter fuels the good times express. The outdoor area is the 'caboose with a view,' offering the perfect pit stop for a pint and some al fresco feasting. Sundays are the crown jewel, a carvery fit for royalty that'll have you shouting, 'Gravy, ahoy!' . Haul yourself to The Railway and let the good times steam ahead – choo-choo-choose happiness and ales aplenty!"

Did the quiz night, friendly bunch 👍

Lovely pub, great food and drinks, fair prices😁

Excellent carvery, some of the best meats I've had on a Sunday lunch - tender and cooked to perfection, and at a great price too. Huge choice of veggies and accompaniments - 3 types of potato and at least 7 different veggies. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Lovely to see the chickens, ducks and bunnies in the beer garden and an excellent outdoor play area too. Will be back!

50th birthday party. Room and buffet food supplied. Cheap and cheerful no frills. Well equipped DJ booth which a party guest was allowed to use. Brilliant night.

Was looking for a child friendly pub with a play area to meet some friends for a drink & grab something to eat. Couldn't really have found anywhere better. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff that couldn't do enough for you. Good food at a reasonable price (highly recommend their ice cream Sundaes!). Sizeable beer garden with plenty of seats and a play area with toys to play with. There's also animals! Kids and adults had a lovely time. Just a shame I don't live a little nearer as this would be my new local no contest.

I attended with my partner and our baby. We had a panini off the new lunch menu and were pleasantly surprised. The staff behind the bar couldn’t do enough to help when I needed to make a bottle for the baby. We will definitely be returning. Looking forward to the next event they hold!

friendly staff, amazing customer service and great food

I love mashed potatoes... the meat and vegetables are fantastic... but the mash takes the prize 🤤🤤🤤.

Went for a carvery with the kids for Father's day. The food was great. My eyes were bigger than my belly but I finished it. Kids enjoyed playing outside and seeing the animals. Give it a try. Thanks Railway Inn

Family afternoon on a Saturday. Great garden for the kids to use with rabbits, chickens, ducks and a great assortment of rides etc for the kids to use.

Private party so food was outsourced. Nice clean venue, plenty of parking

Nice people there, kids loved the animals. Shame about the parking situation.

I visited with some friends for a drink and sat in their big beer garden in the sun. To my surprise what a change to their beer garden they now have a kid's play area and an outside bar and a little hutch with some animals lik ducks etc which is good for the kid's. I will be back.

Brilliant child and dog friendly will be trying the food on our next visit

My first visit to the establishment but won't be the last .Carvery was excellent value fir money but I was a little disappointed at pedigree I had .I thought the landlord and staff were superb and wish them every success. A great family pub

What a fantastic carvery!! Great Pub with friendly staff and is also dog friendly in the bar. The carvery was absolutely amazing and was my choice against many other carveries in the area. The food was of exceptional quality and the plate sizes were extremely generous. I had a large plate and it defeated me. In fact i ate more veg than meat. The standard would have done me. The prices for the carvery beat any other local carveries. Good parking next to the park. But put your car reg in when you enter the pub. The pedigree bitter was also exceptional quality too. It also has a great outdoor area too and very good for kids. Highly recommended.

Bangin carvery! 10/10 top chef. Will defo return. Cauli cheese is unreal here

Fabulous carvery - plenty of choice. Very friendly staff and cosy. Highly recommended

Came for first time today and must say I really should have come sooner. We had the carvery ( cooked to perfection )and the choice of vege is amazing . Great value for money plus staff very attentive and helpful and atmosphere is great too.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

not a good experience going into this pub, dogs sitting on seats, cat roaming about the bar, I am an animal lover but this is not acceptable in a public place, will not return

Hired the back room for a wake. Child friendly,The bar staff were very friendly room was very clean and modern and the food albeit expensive was worth every penny it was amazing. Thanks guys look forward to doing business in the future

Came to the pub today with the wife and kids and had some food. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection, and to accommodate my children the landlady gave them some pens and colouring so the kids were entertained we stopped for an other drink

Absolutely perfect carvery, loads of veg, perfect crispy potatoes and the creamed leeks were to DIE for :-) booked in agin for this Sunday!

Just left after eating the BEST steak I have ever had. The pub has dogs that are super friendly and got on well with mine. The owners are doing lots of work in the garden which I’m sure will be great in the summer! Will definitely be returning.

Be prepared to pay for car parking but there is more signs up now after all lots of complaints and landlord not being bothered to help people out

Nice place..nice ambience..and relatively cheap as well. The beer here was great as well!

We recently held my Dads wake at The Railway Inn. Jamie and the team provided an excellent service including hot/cold buffet. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend Jamie & his team!

Rang up to see if you were serving?you said yes, wow the fish and chips were to die for, my dad's new York chicken was delicious and my partners gammon was huge, well done and we will definitely be coming back ❤️

We went for burgers - was really bad, presented well, just a bad burger - I go for petting the dogs and the cat when he’s there- that’s all.

Visited this pub tonight as a family of 3, was welcome by the staff/owners and nothing was too much bother. 1 ordered off the menu and 2 carvery. The food was fantastic, great deal of choices and presented beautifully. The meat from the carvery was unreal😍 all round family/friendly pub. Will be sure to visit again, thank you!

Brilliant Sunday Carvery...Great Pudding.

Staff Very friendly and a nice pub

Great atmosphere Great food. And more importantly... Great staff..

Went for a carvery today for 3 adults and 3 children and a toddler. The food was fantastic! So much flavour. The staff were lovely and chatty. My daughter was especially happy to see their happy friendly dogs roaming around which I loved. Overall a perfect experience!

great customer service and everyone is really friendly, amazing food and drinks as well

This place is amazing for food and drinks, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, 100% go there again .

Such a lovely little pub. We were driving past after a visit to a local family attraction when we stopped for a drink. We were welcomed by staff behind the bar and I'm assuming the couple that ran it, were also in the Main Bar area and were very welcoming. We were served quickly and the beer was good and reasonably priced! We had a flick through the menu on our table which was presented beautifully , whilst we didn't eat on this occasion we will definitely be back for food....what we saw being served looked and smelt incredible! Well Done Railway Inn. We hope to be back soon!

Food was amazing very friendly people nice environment pleased all around will be returning

When I visited the Railway I was greeted with amazing staff, top class food and great music, from a great dj on a wonderful Friday night, will deffo return!!!

Lovely food and atmosphere worth a visit

Excellent from start to finish.. We phoned up last minute to try and book Sunday lunch they was able to fit us in which was a good start.. Guy on the phone was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival we was greeted by a warm welcome from the staff. The service was great food was good and atmosphere relaxed. All the staff was friendly and made the extra effort like talking to the kids and keeping them involved in the friendly atmosphere. We would definitely return again in the future and would recommend to anyone..

Was very nice. But think they could do with a few more staff.

Fabulous food ,home made chips and scrumptious puddings,very friendly staff and coors light

Rude food serving staff,left her serving station to go and seat arriving guests Food cold found a blond hair in it Carling tasted funny and watered down left it on table, Felt let down by good reviews,will not eat here again, Room very draughty too.

Amazing Sunday Carvery & Bread and Butter Pudding! My first visit, not my last!!

Excellent foods esp the chips, new menu, friendly and affordable, good parking. Not a chain pub

Excellent range of food, friendly and obliging staff team.

Always a good night. Plenty food to choose from there menu upto 8pm.

My daughter's wedding reception was held at The Railway. The food was great & plentiful, the staff were all friendly & went out of their way to help however they could (including preparing a selection of gluten free food for my granddaughter) the DJ ensured the dancing didn't stop & everyone had a brilliant time. The room was dressed for the occasion too, and complimented the bridal colour scheme. A huge thank you to all at The Railway for everything.

The food here is excellent, and really well priced. I really recommend it. We aren't local but saw the menu on googlemaps. It was a friendly pub, clearly popular.
