Delicious food, but an insultingly small portion, which was just about lukewarm. I didn't complain out of respect to my friend who had arranged the table as a treat for me. The waiting staff were fab, and the coffee was excellent. The first time I have left a restaurant feeling completely mugged off. Most certainly won't be going back.

Main meal fish and chips recived 2 small fish as no fish big enough poor cheap quality frozen chips. Onion rings cheap frozen type you get from asda, tesco etc but still charge £1.85 for 6. Garlic bread not the best no garlic flavour. But on the nice side waitress service excellent pub spotless

Arrived for our meal as booked. Sat for quite a while before a member of staff came to take out drinks orders. Service was slow coming out but two male servers (both French) were delightful. Extremely professional, friendly and couldn't do enough for you - unfortunately our service was sprinkled with your Staff Member Debbie, found her brash, rude and you felt like an inconvenience to her. We didn't even get a 'thank you' or a 'goodbye' when we left. We also saw her at the bar talking about other Restaurant goers. Food was nice enough but nothing special, Prawns in the Prawn Cocktail were pretty small, only three pieces for the Spring Rolls - and even they seemed smaller than usual. Chips in the main were oven and nothing exciting. Unfortunately we wouldn't go back.

Waitresses both nice and polite. Manager lacking in people skills and general service (mumbling to waitress instead of addressing issue with us) Coffee was the worst we have ever had. Basically hot longlife milk with a hint of coffee. Complained and waitress swiftly made another which unfortunately was no better. Food although basic came in matter of minutes and was reasonably priced. Could be so much better as the building is nice and plenty of parking . Won't be returning or recommending.

We were hungry for a good, big meal and not the usual places around where we live. So we decided to try the Railway again as we hadn’t been here for some time. The food was good, the portion sizes were decent, even the kids food was good. Service good and we didn’t have to wait too long for it to come out even though it was fairly busy and we hadn’t booked on a Saturday lunchtime. We definitely try them again! 👍🏻

What a meal. And I sometimes feel like I'm not easily pleased. We went for Sunday lunch. I had a prawn cocktail, mushroom Wellington and cheesecake, my partner had pate, 3 meat roast and couldn't manage a desert. I must say the food was very very good, the service was very attentive and ambiance chilled. Reasonable on cost Three very very small negatives (you can't please everyone with the first 'negative') the food arrived VERY fast. Again some love to get in and get out. I like a little while between courses but all good all the same. The second was my veg on the main were a little luke warm but the gravy was piping hot so all good. The third, I wasn't made aware of the specials board and would have ordered the fish if I'd have seen it. Great food, great service, very clean and a happy place. Will we return..... Definitely!!!

Went to the Railway Inn in Nelson, today for mothers day, it was our first time there, the staff were fantastic and the food was superb, the best steak both myself and my wife have had in a long time, I would say better than Miller and Carter, my two boys loved it, only negative was my desert, ordered a icecream sundae, the icecream was not the best, there is a local icecream maker near Machen, its called Happus, if they were to use a product like that, then the whole eating experience would be hard to beat in my opinion, we will be definitely returning there in the near future.

Visited recently for my daughters birthday having a previous good experience. However, this time was the total opposite. My daughter had the lasagne which had so much cheese on it was inedible. I had the full rack of ribs which not only being a tiny portion, were dry, lacking flavour and had hardly any sauce on them. Probably the worst ribs I've tasted. Unfortunately would not go back.

As a group of 9 we we asked to preorder our food by telephone prior to arrival. On the night when the food arrived there was only 8 meals. The waitress produced the list of meals ordered which totalled 8. Why would you book a table for 9 and order 8 meals. The mistake was not acknowledged. The 9th meal when it arrived had obviously been microwaved. Took an age to clear main course plates etc and ask if dessert was wanted. Then took an age to bring the bill and didn’t advise the need to go to bar to pay by card. Pub was very busy. More staff obviously needed.

Had lunch there today. My pork with mash was delicious, not a huge platefull though. My wife's curry was nothing special, asked for rice but received rice/chips. Taste was very ordinary, expected a little more special for the price, the sort of curry that you could easily make at home & tasted no different. The poppadom was poor as it was rather elastic in the middle. Coke was rather flat/tasteless. However staff were polite, beer was good & service good too. Comfortable & warm. 2 mains & 2 drinks came to just over £25, not the best value to be had perhaps. We will visit again though, need to gibve the place a chance to redeem itself.

Last minute decision to go out for food and thought let's try the recently transformed Railway Inn, we was welcomed and seated straight away and looked over our menus including children's menu for our granddaughter, The waiter brought over a colouring pencils and a picture for her to colour in while we waited for our food, sausage and chips for my granddaughter and curry of the day for my partner and the railway gammon for me .... good job I was hungry too as it was filling.... we all had lovely meals, the seating area is nicely decorated and comfortable, the staff are friendly and efficient. They have a play area for the children and benched seating for the adults but plastic glasses and no food out there, out the front of the Inn is seating and yes use normal glasses, decent size car park which does fill up on busy times especially weekends, I pass it regularly on the week and thought it's very busy so must be good and it is.Will be returning for sure 'just great' for friends and family or just a pint

Menus weren't very clean. I had the pulled pork shoulder sandwich with salad and chips. The quality of the meat seemed awful - it was pale and full of solid fatty pieces. My friend's food was fine but my sandwich was a letdown and more or less inedible. It was only a very quick visit so I just paid up and left as time was very limited and so didn't complain.

Been there twice in last week once for lunch and the other with friends. Had steak salad for lunch it was small and not worth the money albeit it was big enough for a late lunchWent there on a Friday evening with friends having booked a table for 7. The pub was full to be fair and there appeared to be lots of staff but service was dire. Waited an hour and half for food to arrive and when it did the jacket potato was not cooked and they missed the pepper sauce which never did show up. Mentioned to the staff and got a "sorry about that" as he walked off with the dishes.New paint and money clearly spent but little point if they can't get the basics right.Wont rush back!

Attended as a large family party and initial impressions were good. The pub has a much airier atmosphere than before and the staff were really friendly. However the meals were across the board very very poor. I could have stayed at home for poorly cooked oven chips, and as I was feeling hungry thought I'd try the mixed grill. This was a bad choice as the meat cuts were of really poor quality as were the sausages. Most of the party actually had big gripes about the quality of their food - whilst the gammon looked appealing it turned out to be very tough. Gave a really poor overall first impression of attending this pub after the refurb. I only hope the quality can improve in order that the pub can sustain its business and repay on the investment. On this performance I'll be heading elsewhere on a local night out.

Visited for lunch after reading trip advisor reviews.Looks as this pub is on its way up. New'ish owner is trying his damness to make this place work.Deco seems as it is a work in progress although this shouldn't distract you from visiting.Staff were pleasant and friendly.Food, plentiful and enjoyable. The 'but' in the review title is in regards to the steak I had served to me. Although cooked as ordered and tasty, it had a lot of fat on the edges. This fat was greasy, stringy and did not, and was not, appetising to look at. I feel if kitchen staff took a little time and removed such fats the steak would appear more appetising.Overall, I wish this venue the best but would reiterate spend a little time in food presentation. I'll be back as the price of meals is very good.

So lets hopethings have improved to the extent he claims. I know this pub well(I used to workin it) and I have nearly 40 years experience in the trade as licensee and cookso I can,in part, sympathies with his situation.

Came here this evening for a meal after work. Arrived at 5.30 and ordered shortly after. Waited over an hour for the meals to arrive (asked twice in that time if we'd been forgotten as tables that arrived after us had eaten and left.) were reassured by bar staff that our order was on its way. Eventually asked to speak to a manager who basically said we were lying about how long we had waited and then said that we hadn't ordered at all! We asked for a refund and left. It seemed like other tables had had trouble with incorrect orders / missed items. Seems very disorganised and staff could do with some training (especially the manager!). Avoid this pub! There are plenty of other local pubs which are much better.

Service was good nice friendly atmosphere and possibly the best mixed grill I've ever had. Everything about the evening was positive we will definitely go back would also recommend to friends and family.

I ordered a 10oz sirloin steak and jacket potato the steak was cold and I have had a thicker rash on of bacon before the potato was dry not offered any butter for it. I couldn't eat the steak and when I told the waitress I couldn't eat it she just said sorry to hear that and took our money not even offered any meal to replace it. poor won't be back again

After an hour wait with a table full of people who come after us already had their food, I asked when was our food going to arrive? Was told they were plating it now. 20 minutes later still no food to which our family of 5 decided to leave. Dreadful service wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Went for a meal today as i'd been a year or so ago and the food was good. Food was ok today, but the Service was awful, waited an Hour and 45 mins for food. Other couples complaining to us too about the wait. I would never visit the pub again. There were children running in and out of the kitchen while we were there too. Wish I had read the reviews on here before we went today as I wouldn't have bothered eating there.

Visited the railway inn today, I must say I read the reviews on here and could not disagree more. The food was fantastic and I only waited 15 mins before it was brought out. It was a lovely family pub where my kids were welcomed with open arms. I will defiantly be returning to sample some of the best pub food I've had for a while.

We visited for a meal at around eight, waited a little long for food, the pub seemed to be full of the owners kids, there must have been six. They weren,t poorly behaved, just in and out of the bar area, they had access to every part including the kitchen. I could not be sure if the staff were in fact the new owners, there was a dark haired lady serving behind the bar, a blonde "lady" and two men who were presumably the partners of the two women. They were not visitors to the pub, they were definitley connected to the running of it in some way. We sat directly opposite the bar area where they were all stood, so heard the lewd conversation and filthy language. I am certainly not a prude but the conversation was disgusting, the four of them laughed loudly, made extremely rude vulgar comments of a sexual nature and swore the whole time we were there. The fact that there were children nearby and paying customers did not deter them one bit! Their behaviour ruined my meal as I was forced to listen to their filth. My husband was equally appalled but is very much "don,t make a scene" so we eat our food when it eventually arrived, eat it rapidly and left. I will not be returning to the railway as long as these "staff" are there.

Been a regular here for a few year. No one seems to stay long.Our group waited over an hour for the special which was a roast but with roasties lol so basically meat and veg. In fairness was nice when arrived desserts rubbish to be honest didn't have laf the menu overpriced for pub grub.This place has potential cut prices go back to basics a simple cheap menu that can be fulfilled. Service was awful no one came to collect any plates ended up dumping plates on next table where they remained until closing!

My husband and I called into this pub looking to have a coffee before the school run.When we walked in the whole pub smelt of cooking.We ordered two lattes, but the machine had run out of milk so they were dark black the girl behind the bar said she would get some milk, which came out in a little jug freezing cold. We sent the coffees back and had a J2O and half a cider. The J2O came in a dirty pint glass?The tables were sticky and as you can see from the photo the menu was dirty and sticky also.Couldn't wait to drink up and get out of there.Avoid this place like the plague!

Went here week before Christmas with my family...Firstly new owners yet again !Asked for a gin and tonic none available asked for a vodka and coke none available. No wine and nothing on draught ! A pub with no alcohol and its a week before Christmas !! Landlord said it was the first day of opening and the delivery hadnt turned up.who opens a pub with no alcohol ??If that was the case surely you wouldn't open till everything was in . anyway ordered food waited an hour and 10 mins bare im mind there was 5 people in the whole of the pub..food finally arrived chicken was microwaved and was grey..a family member found metal in her food !! There were children in and out of the kitchen area flicking their long hair all over the cooking area one child had dirty clothes on .it was by far the worst meal we had ever eaten.the meals came to around 30 pound which you don't mind paying it was edible.they said theyd charge us 15 pound which was a cheek we shouldnt of been charged at all.il never eat in the railway for as long as I live.No doubt new owners will take over soon yet again the pub is doomed.NEVER EAT THERE PEOPLE !!

Me and my family came here yesterday to have an evening meal, it was absolutely lovely, my jacket potato was really fluffy and my meat was cooked beautifully, also the food comes at a good price and there is a good selection to choose from, the staff in this establishment were very welcoming and friendly which is always nice to see when you go out for food. We will be coming again!

Nice local pub with food available but had some issues there last week. Seems the previous landlord left rather quickly and a host had to step in temporarily so please read this review on the basis that the people running it will likely change soon so could improve.There was only 1 very busy young lady seemingly trying got fo everything but the cooking, she was a nice well mannered young lday when 4 of us visited for a frink & a meal.Beer & lager not much choice but both fine re taste.Great choice on the menu.Problems though because our young lady was so rushed. Starters were delicious, chicken goujons and garlic/cheese sauce on mushrooms particularly delicious. However main courses arrived before we'd all finished our starters without real apology and any offering to return later. The steaks were also delicious on the whole and plenty on the plates however a requested 'well done' steak simply wasn't and had to be returned as undercooked.So the place really gets 4 *s for the meal but only 2 *s for the service unfortunately, an average of 3 *s
