Railway Inn Restaurant in East Riding of Yorkshire

Really disappointing visit to the Railway Inn, it was recommended to us so we thought we would pay it a visit. We was rudely welcomed and just sat down(which seemed to be some effort to the staff) the owner was rude to our children as they was on there way back from the toilet and we felt rushed throughout. The food was below par, undercooked potatoes and veg and fatty meat was really disappointing when paying £15 for a Sunday lunch, you can’t charge premium prices and deliver sub par food. I wouldn’t recommend!

service was a good standard and the food was excellent, Went for a family sunday lunch while down in skirlaugh for a wkend family birthday. All fresh home cooked food, decent sized portions . It was very busy so waited a little while to get food but i cant say it wasnt worth the wait, and very reasonabley priced

Donna and i visited Sunday 13th October for Donna's birthday. I went for a Sunday lunch of Pork, and Donna decided to have the homemade steak pie. Firstly both were presented beautifully and far above what you would expect in a pub, if that does not sound insulting to the hosts. The Sunday lunch was absolutely beautiful, the meat was tender and plenty of it, the veg was cooked just right for me, well every part was so very nice and moreish. Donna said her pie was stunning with the meat so tender with melt in the mouth pastry. We normally do not have puddings but just could not resist, the apple and rhubarb with custard was a lovely treat for me, and Donna had the cheesecake of the day, salted caramel, and as an added extra the staff who were lovely and attentive and friendly throughout, brought out her pudding with a lit birthday candle in, which really did show that special touch. A big shout out to the chefs behind the scene for a cracking job, and to Luke, Phil,Rhys and the lady who tended our table and made our visit so relaxing, didnt catch her name, but thank you so much to all. It was our first visit but wont be our last.

What a lovely little find! Family run business for 25 years! The food is incredible and service was impeccable. Very accommodating on a Saturday evening despite us not having booked in and staff were great with the kids too. Highly recommend, we can't wait to go back!

Family meal staff all excellent very friendly nothing to much trouble food was excellent will definitely be back very soon

Just been with my family for meals absolutely fantastic food lovely place to go very welcoming owner and staff can't wait to come again very highly recommend railway inn

Amazing food and service by Sharon. Would highly recommend. Sharon helped us decide what to have we couldn’t decide so much choice and variety! Loved our visit

Lovely food in relaxed atmosphere

Had a very last minute visit here on recommendation, did not disappoint. Roast and one other meal too full for dessert. Staff muti tasking and busy, attention to needs, nothing too much trouble even on a bank holiday. We will be back.

Great food and excellent service

Fantastic food great service We had been recommended and it definitely was worth a visit We will be definitely returning

Great value, excellent food and friendly staff.

Outstanding roast dinner with all the trimmings. Perfectly cooked meat with fresh vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. The service from Sharon and the girls was faultless. Highly recommended.

Just got back from The Railway Inn at New Ellerby. My friend and I both had the roast beef dinner.Plenty of beef and veg,the cauliflower cheese was very nice too.Yorkshire puddings were enormous,an excellent meal ,no room for a sweet.Staff all very friendly helpful and worked hard.Ive never seen so many people having a Sunday meal like today its a very popular restaurant.

Sunday lunch is excellent so much so we go regularly. The food is always high quality and there is plenty of choice. Staff are friendly and attentive especially Sharon who goes above and beyond.

We visited this pub for dinner whilst on holiday. We were greeted by Molly who was very friendly and quickly showed us to our table. Food and service was so good, we returned the following evening. Again we were served by Molly and Sharon. Will definitely return when visiting the area again.

Called in for lunch greeted by Molly ordered drinks were at our table in no time the pub was very busy which is always a good sign we are here on holiday we opted for the steak pie seemed very popular and hi can see why tasty with plenty of steak in both staff that we’re serving on front end were very pleasant and efficient wish I had a local like this .

Had lunch today as always had excellent service with special service from Molly she was attentive professional and very friendly she makes you want to visit again

Lovely bike ride from Hornsea to the Railway Inn at New Ellerby along the transpennine trail. Called in for lunch. Food was great - home made and big portions. Molly was really friendly and welcoming. Definitely will go back next time we're here 😊

Went for a lunchtime celebration with wife for our anniversary. Can't praise the meal enough. Tasted fantastic and they don't scrimp on the portions. In fact one of only a few places where l couldn't finish everything. If your thinking of going l would recommend booking as it filled up pretty quickly while we were there.

Farmhouse pie has degraded in flavour and filling since the last year. I'm not saying the pie was 365 days old I'm saying over the course of a year since I last arrived. There's not much flavour in the pie as to when I very first arrived last year then July this year portions got smaller, the filling had lost its nice taste. Work needs to be done to make these pies top notch again

Great food. Staff very friendly.

We were in room 3 with the roof balcony which was lovely, views amazing. It's onto a road but very quiet not a busy road. Food was lovely. We stayed for breakfast, highly recommended. Staff lovely. Dog friendly too. Perfect!

Love going in food fabulous our waitress sharon was excellent nothing to much trouble see you soon best meat pie I've tasted

Nice wine, nice food & great service i would highly recommend.

Had a fab meal with mum the staff where so lovely and friendly sharon our waitress was lovely 😍

Wonderful staff prompt service, big meals could not fault the place

Really nice food great customer service lovely. Good place to stop off between hull and Hornsea or reverse

Service was very good ,food was delicious,The meat pie was sooo good

Nice food apart from the veg that was almost raw.

We have dined here previously with no complaints so decided to treat my parents to a meal here. Upon arriving, we followed in what appeared to be a hen party of approx. 12 females who were staying at the Happy House behind the pub. At the time of the booking, a dog friendly table had been requested so we were seated within the ‘dog friendly’ area which consisted of two tables in close proximity to one another outside the entrance to the restaurant. We were then told someone would be across to take our order. The other ‘dog friendly’ table was occupied, with the occupants having two dogs with them. When we sat, one of their dogs and our dog did bark briefly at one another but soon settled. Unfortunately, as our dog moved, the ‘barking’ dog at the next table barked once again. We didn’t see this as a problem, but the young lady said she would take the dog outside. Within seconds of her saying that to us, a waitress was at their table saying how they have a bark policy – three barks and they’re out (we didn’t see this displayed anywhere) and more or less shamed the poor lady into taking her dog outside saying ‘people don’t like the noise’. The attitude and manner from this waitress were uncalled for and the lady’s friend quickly followed with the other dog. We exchanged comments saying if people shout or when the hen party gets rowdy (which it did) they would not be told to sit outside. Due to the lack of staff, no one came to take our order so my partner went to order at the bar where one of the hen party insisted on making it known that it was her turn to be served before he was. We did have about a 40-minute wait for the food, but it was fresh, well cooked and delicious once it arrived. Once eaten, we decided on indulging in dessert. One of our party asked a question about a specific ingredient in one of the desserts so a barmaid kindly went to find out. Two portions of this dessert were then ordered along with other desserts. After about 10 minutes of waiting, we were then told they didn’t even have any of that dessert left and offered an alternative. Before the desserts arrived, the waitress who’d previously shamed the dog owner to leave, came across and more or less threw the spoons onto the table. Unfortunately, dogs do bark and I completely understand that not everyone likes the noise especially if it’s continuous, but you shouldn’t welcome dogs if they are to be banished to the outside if a random bark happens more than three times. Although the food was delicious, the service and manners from certain staff members were uncalled for and due to this, we are unlikely to return.

Used to be great meals now it's just pub grub

Had Sunday dinner good food at reasonable prices

Stayed at Willows Park and walked to pub which was nice but you need to drive if weather is inclement but can't knock it otherwise

Great for a Sunday roast... Excellent service and location

Food was lovely and fast to come out, everything we ordered was delicious and more than we could eat! The only small detail missed was we were sat for a while with our finished plates wanting to order desserts and drinks. Other than that staff were polite and friendly

Fabulous evening meal. Had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere, landlady very friendly and helpful

Great service and food. A little wait for food but good size portions and home cooked chips.

Very friendly staff, nothing to much trouble.

Gorgeous food, brilliant , hardworking, efficient staff and dog friendly too. The meals we had were very tasty and at a great price. Loved it so much we have rebooked for tomorrow!

Really impressive meal and drink options. Accessible on bike routes and car. Large pun able to cater for large groups. Free on site parking suitable for cars and larger vans.

First time having a meal here. A good choice was available on the menu. The food was all very good and the service excellent. We will definitely eat here again.

Called for lunch. Special menu very good and reasonable. Main menu very good too. Lovely place, very clean, cheerful staff and enjoyed it so much we have booked our car club event there in August. You won't be disappointed.

Need more parking,food was excellent Hope that man is better that fell in the doorway 🤫

Very nice, lovely location. Did not have food, but what I saw looked appetising

Food and service was great, only downside seating arrangements, tables to close.felt uncomfortable having backs near other diners right against them

Food is good and it's a nice place, friendly staff

We a family of 4 went for Sunday lunch to the Railway Inn as it was recommended to us by our friends and it did not disappoint there is a good selection. of drinks and food available the Sunday roast on particular went down well with the size of the yorkshire puddings something to behold grest atmosphere ans grest food

Fantastic traditional country pub serving delicious home cooked food. It's really nice to see an establishment so well looked after, clearly the owners care a great deal and invest money in keeping it looking great. Food was beautiful with large portions. Staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault a thing. Thanks for a lovely visit, we'll definitely return if we ever come back to the area.

Lovely pub! Great service! 10/10

Absolutely amazing food. Even though it was busy the service was exemplary and the food both generous and tasty. Cannot wait to visit again soon

Lunch with friends. Excellent meals - 2 of us had fish and chips, 2 had the steak pie. Nice beer, friendly service and reasonable prices. Will definitely visit again.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Excellent. Had small plated roast, good portion with huge Yorkshire pud. Friendly staff. Great crumble too.

Friendly staff & excellent food we will visit again xx

Lovely place out in the sticks great food lovely staff five stars for me

Enjoyed an excellent Mothers Day lunch Food and service 1st class

Unfortunately, a rather disappointing experience after having a friend recommend this local pub to us. We had pre booked a table and was pointed to where we were going to be sitting for the night. Before taking our seat, we were promptly asked if we would like to order a drink, having never stepped foot in the pub before, we did not know our drinks options. After taking a seat, a waitress immediately came over and asked us for our drinks order, we still weren’t ready. 2 more minutes after the encounter, we were asked again - however, bear in mind, we had never received a drinks menu! 3 times in under 5 minutes we had been asked for a drink, when we clearly stated we were not ready. Our food and drinks order was swiftly taken after about 5 minutes of being seated. However, the wait time for our food was very slow. Taking about 40 minutes to arrive, even though the pub was not in its peak hour. During our meal, we were not checked on once to see how our food was. If the waitress had checked, she would’ve seen we had left the majority of it, as we were unhappy with the meals. She clearly knew we were there as she was wiping tables around us. After we had finished, we made our way to the bar and the waitress was extremely rude. I asked her for our bill and she read out our bill total with no please at all! She cut to the chase with a simple ‘£50’, and handed the card machine over. Simple manners do not cost anything when working in the hospitality sector. With still no checks as to how our food was, and no thank you when leaving the pub, we left extremely disappointed and have no will to return.

Nice Sunday roast with decent portions

Awesome food but advised to book if you want the restaurant

Fantastic Sunday roast as always, brilliant food and staff!

Always nice food from here ,we go quite often

Great food, always go here few times a month.

My experience at the Railway Inn was one of the worst I've ever had at a restaurant. The staff were incredibly rude and argumentative when I simply asked to speak to the chef about a complaint I had with my meal. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, they became defensive and dismissive. I felt like I was being treated like an inconvenience rather than a paying customer. I would strongly advise anyone considering eating at the Railway Inn to think twice. There are many other restaurants in the area that offer far better food and service.

Had a lovely family meal here on new year's eve , everyone enjoyed there food and we had good service ,food came fresh and hot and not to long await considering there was 14 of us . Recommend the steak pies ,mine was gluten free and was delicious, thank you

After our walk we ended up here - Beautiful home cooked food and absolutely huge portions 🫶🏽 the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming! Would recommend and visit again

Fantastic food, fantastic service highly recommended

Amazing food,kept waiting quite a long time for our food,even other dinners commented. When it arrived it was very good quality and value. Staff very pleasant and helpful

Wonderful service, food, excellent venue for a party I would recommend

Great food and service. A nice find.

Food was lovely and the service was great

Even on a busy day we all had room to move about the tables.

This is a lovely rural village pub with delicious food. Brilliant steak pie, homemade & always spot on! Prices are very reasonable & it has a nice friendly & welcoming atmosphere. Never stayed there, as live local.

Excellent all the way .. Do I have to say Any more. Love it . Me and my wife liked it very very much John Barr from hornsea had booked the table for the car club we are all in .. Guess we are comming again Mr BK Daniels Hull

Excellent food and service, pricey enough to keep the riff raff out. Gluten free Sunday dinners are excellent.

We had the pub recommended by many friends... We were not disappointed it was fantastic ...really lovely staff and a very warm atmosphere... My husband is gluten free and he was catered for brilliantly and the food was lovely (thankyou) We will most definitely be going back

Top notch food, home cooked and very generous at a very reasonable price, highly recommend

All four of our meals were delicious. All the staff were very friendly and professional. Will definitely go again when in the area.

Polite and friendly staff. Great home cooked food at a reasonable price. Was 6 of us and the food was great as it has been everytime we've been.

Great location to have both refreshments inside and out, which serves excellent food, closed Monday and Tuesday. Comfortable sitting, great refreshing lager with the dog. All in a good refreshing stop while doing the old railway line walk or having a meal.

Went for the steak pie and mash top notch as usual

I only live in Hull so didn't need a room. The food is excellent, good choice of menu and the staff are lovely .

1st class service, we booked a table for Sunday lunch, choice of 3 meats, or option to have all 3! We were well looked after, attentive staff, fantastic food, huge portions! And an excellent homemade yorkshire pud! Highly recommended

Absolutely a great place to eat out and the steak pies are a must if you're not a vegetarian, but a good idea to book a table in advance.

What an amazing place! Went here for lunch with my wife and mother. We received a friendly greeting on arrival by the two young ladies on shift and told to pick any table. Drinks orders were taken at the table and arrived quickly, served in crystal glasses. Between us we ordered the pie of the day (steak and black pudding cooked in Guinness), lasagne with garlic bread and a side of chips and a lovely creamy curry. The portions were large, cooked to perfection and amazingly tasty. We all agreed this was one of the best pub lunches we had ever eaten.

The Railway Inn is a very popular traditional country pub. There is a good choice of beers and lager including two hand pulled cask conditioned real ales. It serves excellent meals, the home made pie served with proper chips is my favourite, there is a wide choice on the menu including curry and a fantastic mixed grill. The service is excellent and the pub is dog friendly except Sunday. There is outside seating and a large car park. A great pub for a meal or a beer.

Beautiful food and the staff was lovely too

Good Atmosphere spacious Gastro Pub but standard of food not as Good as Stag or Falcon in the local area

Nice pub, nicely kept beers, ideal location. Very nicely kept & decent rooms. Service was a bit slow, bar worker stood wrapping knives & forks while customers waiting at the bar, think they was a hen do or something, ideally should have had more staff on!

Myself, husband,sister and brother in-law eat in the restaurant as often as we can, the food is always excellent, nothing is too much trouble if you require a tweak to your meal......the staff are always so very polite and friendly, I am always recommending The Railway as one of the best in the country

Went for lunch (meat pie) absolutely perfect, could not fault the food or the friendly service.

The wife and I just had a wonderful meal. We was celebrating our Ruby anniversary. The food was great, as always can never fault it over the years we have been going. The staff are always happy and helpful especially today helpful us to celebrate. Top rating 👌

We had to wait a while for the food but it was really busy. But it was definitely worth the wait. We had pudding as well.

Very nice food, pleasant staff, very helpful nice atmosphere

Visited today for dinner with my sister had the Sunday lunch it was absolutely beautiful and then had the cheesecake for dessert it was the best cheese cake I've ever tasted enjoyed the whole visit staff were lovely and very friendly a perfect and very enjoyable afternoon especially after england lost😪

I don’t normally right reviews or complain but me & my partner came here and ordered 2 steaks. We asked for medium rare and when they arrived we couldn’t even eat into them. The steak was extremely tough & chewy. We didn’t want to cause a fuss so we asked for it to be boxed so we could leave. Disappointed as it was an anniversary meal with my partner.

Beautiful roast dinner, and great value for money!

Had a great family meal we had the traditional steak and ale pie others had Fish &Chips and lasagne. All food is cooked to order so there is a wait when busy. We had an issue with the lasagne, but the staff were really happy to change it and we were not waiting long for the replacement. All family members thoroughly enjoyed their meal and will be back soon no doubt

Been to railway numerous times never disappointed, Lydia is a lovely host she always comes and chats to us and our baby, she brings extra food out for baby and even washed babys bowl etc that we took for her, service amazing and food spectacular

Great food, great service and great value for money. First starting coming with my grandparents decades ago, and now enjoy continuing that traditional with family and partners. Online booking has been a great addition. Removes the anxiety by knowing you’ll always have a table even when it’s busy.

Another fabulous Sunday lunch, I didn’t fancy the full Sunday roast today so decided on the curry from the the special list and wow what a choice it was. I enjoyed every mouthful right from the first to the last, it was cooked to perfection as always and delivered to the table in good time with the care and respect the dish demanded. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, attentive and really want to make your visit as pleasant as they can. If you are looking for a lovely afternoon out with great food, great service in lovely surroundings then make the Railway Inn your next stop
