Railway Inn in Ceredigion

If I lived in Borth this would be my "Local". A friendly atmosphere and a nicely presented pint of Butty Bach. We also had Sunday Lunch here. Tasty, piping hot. If you have room for a dessert I'd be surprised 😍

Real ale, nice little pub, the food side looks to be franchised. Had Sunday lunch and could not fault it. The most meat I have had on a Sunday lunch. Will be back again before the end of our week stay in Borth. Recommended for both the food and beer

Came from Aber for a meal and a few drinks, huge portions and Jayne was lovely

Brilliant pub. Good to find a pub where drinkers are treated equally to those wanting a glass of free water and a meal. Too many so called pubs today are merely licenced restaurants. THIS ONE IS NOT. It has a proper bar and lounge area where drinkers are welcomed, and not sneered at for taking up tables where people could eat. Well done Railway Inn for keeping the Great British PUB Tradition alive. One can get food in the wonderful Jaynes At The Railway Inn Restaurant, which shares the building with the pub. What a brilliant idea!

Had the most wonderful home-style Sunday roast here today. Such generous portions and everything was piping hot and utterly delicious. We felt very welcome with the dog despite all three of us being dripping wet having walked from Ynyslas in the pouring rain. We will definitely be making a point of coming here again whenever we’re in the area.

Food was homemade very good quality and nice size portions

Me and my partner had a lovely Sunday lunch it was outstanding all fresh ingredients and excellent service and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.we will definitely will go again and recommend to freinds

Amazing food and an amazing view , food was lovely and hot and portions were great , I would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Cracking place to eat and drink sound.

We enjoyed our meal. Straight forward food - the special was an excellent home made pie.

We were staying in Borth over the bank holiday weekend (August 23). We hadn’t booked a Sunday lunch and we tried various other places but understandably they were fully booked because we were trying at the last minute. I rang the Railway Inn and explained our situation. The lady was most helpful and said she could squeeze us in. We arrived not long after to be seated immediately. We ordered 2 adult roast dinners and 2 children’s roast dinners. When the lady came to the table, she came with 2 large bowls of cauliflower cheese, 2 large bowls of roast potatoes, 2 large dishes of mixed vegetables, mint sauce, apple sauce and a big boat of gravy. Than came the meat. I have honestly never had so much meat on a roast in any pub. It was cooked to perfection and even my children who are not the greatest fans of a roast enjoyed every bit of it. Then afterwards the children had a choice of ice cream for desert. The staff were very friendly. A lovely atmosphere. We will definitely eat here again. But we will book well in advance next time.

I would say that this is pretty typical pub food, but it is extremely well cooked to order. I would particularly recommend the cheeseburger; it was very tasty.

Very very yummy homemade rhubarb crumble with custard sauce!

Stayed over night in our motorhome and had food and drinks in the pub. Good food and great staff.

Nice people, we haven't found many healthy eating options in Wales but here it went quite well

Fantastic roast dinner with the family if you're looking for Sunday options in the area. Entrance and layout is a little confusing but the staff were very friendly and food was great

Just pop in for a drink very lively local pub nice drinks not to dear enjoyed the place

Don't judge the book by the cover. Very friendly, a nice pint. Although we didn't eat the food looked and smelt amazing. .

No one there apart from land lady

Absolutely loved it here! The atmosphere is so good like even though your not a local everyone still says hello and asks how you are. The drinks are very reasonably priced, the staff are incredibly friendly and the seating outside has the most gorgeous view. The food... The food is amazing, the last who cooks everything is a proper star ⭐ ever so nice and a great cook. Definitely coming back

We've been visiting for several years but finally ate here this April. Food was absolutely lovely. You won't leave hungry! My husband had the gammon and chips which was also served with peas, 2 eggs and pineapple - it tasted as good as it looked apparently. I had homemade lasagne...really lovely... with chips and a delicious side salad. The desserts looked lovely, but we didn't have room for any more food!

It was quiet when we went in but the food was delicious especially the homemade burgers the staff were both friendly and welcoming

A fantastic pub! Really friendly landlady and chef who couldn't do enough to help our party which included three disabled guests. Excellent home made burgers and desserts, going back to sample the homemade lasagne!!

Very helpful obliging staff,food was excellent and not overly expensive,advise to book ahead weekends,would definitely recommend this place 💯 %

10 out of 10 ... traditional pub with modern alcohol available like Madri not carling etc . Bar at front with restaurant at rear ... Food was traditional and tasted like your mum cooked it ( or your best friends mum ) Sunday lunch was a choice of beef lamb and pork with a good selection of vegetables including parsnip ( which I don't like ) We had a different meal each and all said how nice it was!!!! 10 out of 10 Staff where friendly and welcoming 🙏.. would be worth mentioning if you had any allergies if ordering deserts as nuts on cheese cake and lots of lovely alcohol in the triffle . Crumble came with custard or icecream and home made Price was fair !@ Sunday they only offer roast dinner . You will need to book

Staff was very helpful and friendly,food was delicious and generous portions,not overly expensive ,would definitely recommend but would advise to book ahead,

Back again and always a hood Sunday lunch fresh veg potatoes and tasty gravy .followed by delicious sherry trifle. Very friendly but would advise to book .

Very clean and helpful staff, food was excellent.

Absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch

Love eating here. Jayne and julie were very helpful. And gave a really warm welcome. The food was really good and very tasty. Would def recomend anyone. To go . Def going back

The Sunday dinner is the best I've ever tasted. Always booked for a Sunday dinner when in borth

Food was absolutely fantastic and fairly priced for the portion size. Can tell everything is homemade including the desserts. Lovely friendly staff, highly recommended 👍

The best pub in town great atmosphere and friendly service. Jayne’s food is 10/10!

We had Sunday lunch. We were accommodated despite it being busy and we were late booking. Food was excellent and good portions. The attention from the staff was great and we were so well looked after. Faultless.

Dog friendly, nice outdoor area.

Hate going out for Sunday Lunch & paying a fortune for a substandard meal. So after reading the reviews tried here. It was absolutely fabulous. Food as delicious as home could not fault in any way. Thank you to all concerned.

Tasty hot homemade mains and desserts. Lovely lady serving.

This was a lovely atmospheric hotel with a friendly clientele and we enjoyed our brief stay but my only complaint is that I wish that the coffee had been as round and full-bodied as the landlord! :) Quite a feeble brew and could do with a boost, the wine was delicious.

Absolutely love this pub! Well done to Howell and his family for running such a lovely friendly local. Good drink choices,welcoming and friendly. What more could you want in a small seaside pub! Keep up the good work!

Stopped overnight in a motorhome drank great cheap beer and the food was spot on. Really lovely people will be staying there again

Lovely cozy pub nice chilled environment Buffet was delicious nice outdoor area to rear of pub lovely staff

Im a big Guinness fan and everywhere I go I rate it. Ive had some of the worst pints of Guinness I’ve ever drank in West Wales. But this pub was quality. Best pint of Guinness im West Wales (so far)

Popped in this little gem for lunch today. Absolutely lovely food. Burger and chips was bang on and the lady who served us was really nice . Five stars all round 👌👍

Excellent food, very friendly staff and well priced. Ended up going back several times as the food was so good. (Jayne even added extra 🔥 to the chicken curry so I enjoyed it even more) can't recommend enough.

Good vfm, food was nice pub grub. Bit strange the restaurant seemed to be appended to the pub rather than part of it, had to order drinks from the bar!

Great home cooked food and lively atmosphere

Good pub grub and very reasonably priced. Portions are large, so unless you have a good appetite, forget the starter & dessert. 😄😄

Good value food from extensive menu. Friendly atmosphere.

30thSept 23! Warm welcome from Jayne & staff! 6 adults 1baby 1dog! We went on the Saturday for a birthday meal! Best hunters chicken we had! Booked for Sunday dinner! Lovely to have Lamb on the menu! We booked again Mon, Tues, & Wed night! Bingo on the Wednesday was fun! Thankyou You made our holiday!

Didn't here. But lovely local pub

Super Sunday lunch for the family from Jayne’s. Two of us had the lamb, one had chicken and another had a vegetarian option. All four main meals were lovely and came with Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, roast potatoes and a roast parsnip. Two separate dishes of veg which included carrots, beans and broccoli and a cauliflower cheese. All fresh and well cooked. The only complaint I had was that if I had known there was also a selection of lovely homemade puddings I would have left some room for these. The sweet cooler showcased trifle, apple pie, chocolate fudge cake etc. All the puddings you love but can’t be bothered to do at home. Very nice. Will visit again next time in Borth. A great place for a meal if you like home style cooking, decent sized portions and good quality fresh food.

Great service and friendly staff.lovely location

I walked in at 6.55pm and asked if they were serving food. I was told to ask in the restaurant part. I entered a empty room and a lovely lady looked at a bedraggled hungry me and my partner and said sit there ill get your order. Very quickly orders were taken. A short very reasonable wait later Nd I was then left speechless by my hunters chicken. It was homemade including the sauce..it was the best hunters chicken I'd ever eaten. It was a huge portion reasonably priced. Lovely lady. Cannot recommend this place highly enough and will be going back and also already recommended to people. Thankyou for the lovely food you provided made me feel like home. And moms home cooked warm dinners with as much love ❤️

Very quirky pub that had the feeling of a typical locals pub, although everyone that walked through the door was treated like a local. The bar was very well stocked, and the staff were friendly. Very inexpensive home cooked feed, and good portion sizes. We had a roast, which had all the trimmings (they even had 2 veggies options). The next meal I opted for was a lasagne. As a lasagne connoisseur (fat lad), I’ve had my fare share of these across the globe. I can confirm this was a well made dish. A little heavy on the mustard in the white sauce, but that’s just the way I like it - well done! I’d like to add, these 2 meals were on separate days. Drinks prices were super cheap. It was like I was drinking back in 2010. A nice clean pint in there too.

Last year I forgot to leave a review! As a food lover I can tell you the hunters chicken is the best I've ever had! Jayne is very Friendly and hard working... I hope Jayne is proud of her accomplishments with her amazing food. We will be visiting you for food again very soon. Please count this review as 4 reviews due to us going there 4 times!

Had a takeaway from here absolutely lovelly great service friendly staff.

We hadn’t booked but asked politely if they had space for 2 adults but were told in a rude manner that “no”. Disappointed but won’t be returning.

5 star all the way. Jayne was lovely, friendly and professional and the food was outstanding. We had beef and ale pie with homemade gravy, chips and peas followed by home made sherry trifles, absolutely delicious. Theres a huge car park at the side with eating inside or out definitely returning this week

Great place, friendly. Good selection of traditional Beer, Ciders, etc. Yet to eat in Jane's restaurant.

We holiday in area each year & this is our third visit. This place is an odd little set up a cafe within a pub. You must purchase your drinks separately from the bar. We always find the same greeting, have you booked? No, right you can sit over here. Only one other couple in there so hardly packed to the rafters. I had decided what we wanted to eat & went up to the till area to be greeted with I presume the owner grumpily taking our order as apparently if I had stayed seated a waitress would of come over. I offered to sit back down. When ordering food after each item I got yes, yes, yes. Zero conversation or interaction. Food is average, quick & easy. We eat for convenience as for welcoming warm environment I wouldn't recommend it for that. We also commented we were greeted the same last year. We have since found another local pub that does home cooked food who seemed much more grateful for our business.

Homemade food at Jaynes restaurant. Very filling, great portions and wonderful homemade desserts

Simple menu, but really tasty proper homemade food. The chicken curry was lovely and my wife's hunters chicken was enormous and homemade. No microwave here.... ;-)

Extremely friendly staff, including the bar. Very reasonable bar prices!! The place looked busy and the restaurant was ready to close but they accommodated 6 of us. We had a short wait for our table to get cleaned, but that gave us a chance to nip through to the bar for a drink. After ordering food we got told that a couple of things had sold out, which was to be expected late on a Saturday, a quick re order was made. The food was really nice!! A beautiful curry, the steak and ale pie is superb, lovely lasagne, nice crisp scampi and the kids meals are a perfect size and quality. Really friendly staff aswell.

But metropolitan standards the menu may look very trendy but the execution of these pub classics is superb. I had proper steak and kidney pudding, homemade and with proper gravy. The cask beer is Welsh and well kept

Dropped in at 4pm on a Friday with a hungry child, more in hope than expectation, and the full menu was available, hurray. Enjoyed a half of pale ale (DD liked her ginger beer). My Chile con carne was delicious and her sizeable cheese burger vanished so I think it was good too. Would definitely return if in the area again, recommended.

Proper village pub. Landlord is a top bloke. Great food by Jayne. Lounge bar for quiet drinking and the saloon bar for party time. Seating outside for100 people, 90% covered. Sambuca heaven.

Motorhome stopover good pub friendly landlord and landlady good beer and food cheers Kenny.

Absolutely cracking homemade steak pie, chips and peas from the specials board. Great service, lovely beer. Lovely to see a pub so buzzing.

Not the warmest of welcomes on arrival but it improved after a while. It was disappointing that a lot of things were not available, it felt like we were guided to certain meals because it was an easy option. The portions were generous but the food was only average, and a little expensive for what it was. It certainly wasn't the most comfortable atmosphere we've known.

Nice pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a drink. Pleasant bar staff

Bueatiful home made cooking. Great service . Couldn’t manage a sweet but had to take one home. Cheesecake was amazing.will definitely be back again . Thankyou x

Great local pub great home cooked food at Jaynes good selection of beers available

Good food staff polite and friendly loved it x

Lovely friendly pub, great food reasonable priced. Definitely be visiting again 🍺👍

Typical seaside town pub. All good. Had a game of dart's too.

Jane was very friendly all home made booked again for Sunday roast can't wait thanks fir a lovely evening Sara andy

Had an excellent Sunday roast at The Railway Inn today. Plenty of meat, lovely roast potatoes and parsnip, a Yorkshire pudding, a separate dish of 3 veg and a dish of cauliflower cheese served with a boat of gravy. The veg was cooked to perfection. We came away stuffed. Thank you to the cheerful staff.

Allison and Sue provided a great experience for this traveling American! Also, big shout-out to the locals

We had a lovely evening meal. Hubby had home made veg curry, it was ghe best veg curry I've had. Loaded with veg and beans. Home made tiramisu was lush. They let us park over night in the car park. Thank you Railway Inn.

Myself and my wife visited whilst in Borth. We went to the bar and whilst a man behind the bar said hello he otherwise ignored us and proceeded to serve a local who walked in after us. Another barman appeared and I asked him if they were serving food and from what time. He said he had no idea and suggested we went to another area of the pub to find out. I them ordered a pint of Butty Bach and the barman returned with a half pint. After that I gave up and took my business elsewhere on the basis I ) the locals take priority over strangers 2) staff have no knowledge of the business they are running and 3) staff do not listen to customers. So don't expect a nice welcome or good service at the Railway Inn in Borth, as you will be disappointed on both counts. In my humble opinion, the management of this pub need to have a bit of a rethink about their approach to first time customers. We left before we had the opportunity to try either their food or the real ale on offer, so cannot comment on either.

Gem of a pub staff are so welcoming and freindly .would def return again ..kaz and jason .thankyou ..xx

One of the best Sunday roasts we’ve ever had. The beef and pork were both delicious with plentiful vegetables and excellent gravy. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely highly recommended

Lovely service, fantastic food so friendly my son really happy there, thank you see you again in May

Great little pub on Borth high street. A few interesting guest beers and a few games of pool and you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

I’ve visited Borth many times over the past few years. The Railway Inn is a wonderful pub. Several real ales are available. The staff, landlady and landlord are very friendly. There is also a restaurant attached. I would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely fantastic home cooked food, the steak & Ale pie was amazing as was the Sunday roast dinner the next day, very friendly and good service, will definitely visit again. 👍👍

Great dog friendly pub. Friendly staff and great food. Can recommend the steak and ale pie.

Fantastic Beer, Food, Locals, Laugh, Landlords, Music, OldeWorlde... etc. etc. etc.... Cool-Dudes... GoldStars.

Great food, good choice, helpful friendly staff

Lovely little pub and spotlessly clean.

Lovely food. Amazing pies. The lady can cook

Wide selection of drinks, lovely staff, great customers, had a brilliant time. Definitely worth the visit.

Great pub and the locals really make you feel welcome

It was OK. Small. Strange dining arrangements as you go through the bar to a cafe adjoing the pub but the food was OK but bit pricy

The pub is a proper pub and the food is excellent - fresh ingredients freshly cooked.

Just had the best Sunday lunch ever at Jaynes at the Railway Inn A plate full of lovely roast beef roast potatoes roasted parsnip Yorkshire pud stuffing a side dish of cauliflower cheese and a dish of carrots green beans and broccoli and a gravy boat full of meaty gravy . Very friendly helpful staff. dog friendly Big portions good price we will be going back for the rest of the week during our holiday Ten out of ten Thanks for a great Sunday afternoon lunch

Jaynes at The Railway restaurant : excellent home cooking with super salads. Hadn't been there for 12 months and asked for a meal from the old menu because we enjoyed it so much. Not only was this no trouble but they improved it. Steak baguette covered with cheese, onions,mushrooms chips and super salad.

No trip to Borth is complete unless you’ve been to the railway!! The food is wonderful and filling Jayne won’t let you go hungry the land lord is warm and friendly along the locals!!

We popped in for some drinks on a Friday evening and were instantly made to feel unwelcome by some guy behind the bar and his mates sitting at the bar. They were making comments and acting threatening towards us. I overheard a female also working...

Friendly helpful staff, excellent food, will visit again when in the area
