Very friendly and helpful staff. We were warmly welcomed to the pub. It was very quiet when we arrived but soon filled up and was bustling. Excellent food and excellent service.

As someone else has said, there is not much curb appeal but the food as amazing. Stopped off here as was staying nearby and other places were fully booked or closed, lucky me because the food was great, chips were the best I’ve ever tasted, simply amazing. There were beers and real ale on tap so can’t complain at that either. I loved the way locals were coming in for drinks, showing the pub doesn’t rely on tourists and there has the be a reason people keep coming back. I loved the way that the staff all sat down to eat a meal together also, they still checked in on us and didn’t make a big deal of it but what a wonderful way to treat your staff and build a family appeal to the pub, superb business. Might take the 6 hour round trip again, just for those chips!

It is a travesty that as a party of three, that we were the only people present for a sit down lunch. A few others came in for a lunch to takeaway and they like us would not be disappointed. Warm and friendly welcome from the barman who made us feel at home and was happy to help. A good selection of dishes on the menu, we went for a gammon steak, which was enormous, a homemade chicken and mushroom pie, a a Railway Poulette in a cream of leak sauce. All very tasty, nicely presented, and generous portions. Quite honestly, couldn’t fault the food or the service, good honest food.

what a lucky find, I had sunday lunch here and it was reasonable and lots of different vegetables and the roasties were cooked just right, plenty of beef and gravy just right. Wonderful welcome very homely its a bit off from the dual carriageway but worth a visit, try it you wont be disappointed.

Staying in the area for a couple of days, so decided to head to the pub for an evening meal. The outside doesn’t really have much curb appeal (sorry!) but the inside is really quirky and well done, toilets are lovely and clean. Staff really friendly and so helpful in accommodating dietary allergies. Food was well cooked, well presented and plentiful. Had a lovely meal and will be returning tomorrow night for another evening meal. Thanks guys x

The food was excellent as usual. What was great we had a six year old in the party and they were brilliant in making sure because he didn’t want a traditional dinner that he had food to his liking with colouring items to keep him occupied. The beef dinner was extremely tasteful, plenty of it e.g . vegetables and a staff that brought drinks and food to the table promptly and with a smile. The price was extremely competitive considering the amount and value of the three course set menus. Gwych, arbennig.👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We came in from the back parking lot and were a bit confused about where to dine. The dining room walls were unusual and I wish I had taken a picture. We had the pork and chicken specials and they were good. They did not have any Welsh ale on drought which was too bad, but I survived. There was an amazing amount of food so we had leftovers for the next night.

The food was nice, which I guess is the most important thing. We had a 10oz steak, which was nice, but I guess for £21, I would expected the whole package. Something missing, little atmosphere. The bar staff were also serving food, so little things missed like steak knives, the offer of condiments and sauces, etc. Being offered a free bottle of water was a nice touch though. There are cheaper meals on the menu and I think ours was the most expensive, but would go back.

Went there as a family for an evening meal as the pictures on Facebook looked good along with good reviews mostly for their Sunday lunches so we had high hopes. We all went for the boozy battered cod and although it doesn’t say homemade batter on the menu we made that assumption based on all the decoration and nonsense you see in the pictures. It was awful, really awful. It was no more than the sort of cod you get in Tesco with soggy batter, very little cod and tasteless. The chips come across as if they’ve been par cooked then cooked again but not very well as the are almost powdery in consistency. I opted for the lemon tart as again looked great in photos and was claimed as homemade. It was the worst I’ve had, not only did it have a soggy bottom, the whole thing was positively bendy. Won’t be wasting money here again and certainly wouldn’t recommend. Great pictures are nothing if they can’t be backed up. Style over substance as they say in the Great British Bake-off, more like the Great British rip off.

Managed to get a table on father's Day even though we booked late. Met by friendly staff and lots of buzz about the place. Food was worth waiting for but only 1 Vegetarian option which we ordered. Great food lovely staff. I think a bit more attention to the basics would be nice, table felt sticky and we were facing a wall in the library just 4 of us. Would rather have been in front bar which was more lively. Bet they would have moved us if we had asked. No-one checked back to see if food was ok or if we needed anything, we needed more water and napkins. They were busy but more experienced staff would have made the meal better

The Railway opened under new management last week, when we heard that the talented Emerson was the chef we couldn't wait to book a table. We were not disappointed, Prawn, salmon and crab cocktail to start with, the smoked salmon was beautiful, this was followed by the slow cooked lamb and dirty chicken, both were delicious. The chips were divine, really crispy and fluffy inside. Only one of us had room for dessert and he opted for vanilla creme brulee with raspberries and was served with 2 shortbread biscuits which just melted in your mouth. Looking forward to our next visit

I visited the Railway Inn about six months ago and decided to revisit for Sunday Lunch on the strength of several positive comments from friends. The Sunday lunch was good with friendly service.There was a good choice from the buffet style menu but the starters were a bit tokenish being a limited choice of three and not very inspiring. Having said this I was too full up to have desert which looked very nice ( I seem to remember they were good last time.) The dinning room is distinctly odd ( although some reviewers I notice, found it"cosy") In my last review I described its a bit like "Dracula's dungeon" and I found nothing to change my opinion. It does need a bit of a refurb!

Well we turned up and the place was busy, so we asked for a table for 5 which they set up for us, we was then offered starters and drinks so far so good, then it was time for the carvery it was like a pop up market stall the meet being carved over the food, there as defiantly not enough room. well on to the food the beef was dry the turkey was nice and moist but had a strange after taste the roast potatoes needed cooking longer the beans where drowned in water the gravy was like bisto not nice again with a after taste.

I came here with a large group earlier this week. I hadn't been year in years, even though I came quite a few times as a child/teenager, but that was about 15-20 years ago. I wasn't sure what to expect. I remembered it being good when I came before, particularly the lasagne, and I didn't think it would be as good. I was right - it was better!! I had duck spring rolls as a starter, with plum sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. I had lasagne with garlic bread for my main meal. The lasagne was actually better than when I came here before all those years ago! I didn't have room for pudding. Generous portion sizes, good value for money, and the service was really good to. Our waiter was very friendly, and a happy guy. Very funny! Would come again and would reccomend to others.

The old Scottish chef has left. I am not one to usually complain but this was poor. I have been here 6 times in 6 months. Always spot on. This time the food changed completely. I recommended the mega burger to my friends. Really poor, not home cooked and appeared more like a burger van burger. I had the special venison burger. Appalling, a tiny burger in a bap, no salad and completely dry.The service was poor. We were told by the waitress the Scottish chef had left, hence why the food was different. The staff were disinterested and were more interested playing with their phones. My other half complained to the manager which fell on deaf ears. Sadly we won't be returning as we had always had a superb meal here. Utter let down!

We have frequented this place fairly regularly for the past 8 months and have always been totally happy with everything until our last visit.The lunch last Sunday was terrible, beef more akin to shoe leather, Yorkshire cake!!? and veg that was a slush or undercooked. to cap it all the jam roly-poly was a solid rock and totally inedible. When paying the bill we were asked if everything was ok and said that it was not but still we were charged for everything.There was an excellent Scottish chef employed there but there was no sign of him there last Sunday so in our minds it must have been the reason for it to be so bad.

Staying in a local bed and breakfast and this was the only place available close by to have a meal. Nice, welcoming pub and we enjoyed a nice, freshly cooked meal. Downside was that due to the meals being cooked to oeder, we waited over an hour for it to be served which would put me off going again.

I haven't been there for years... I didn't have a meal so I can't comment on that aspect of the place but did have a bowl of chips as I had heard they were good, and they were very good... If you like homemade chips, they are on the money...The place has a rustic country pub feel about it which takes me back a bit... I like it...They have a good selection of beer to suite most tastes... I most definitely will be back... They do 2 meals for £12...

Called here for a meal on a saturday evening. We've had the sausage and chips basket meal a number of times previously so thought we'd have the same again. After we'd ordered, a young waiter came over and said there's only 2 sausages not 3, as is stated on the menu. As there was a menu on the wall next to where we sat I brought to his attention that it states 3 not 2. He said he'd find out. Anyway, our food came in a bowl not a basket, like we've had before and with 2 sausages. I said again there should be 3 as stated and was amazed when the waiter just scribbled out 3 and wrote 2! Asked for ketchup twice but never got any. All in all it was a very poor service, bad menu advertising and customer service at its worst. Before leaving I brought this to the attention of a young girl behind the bar who didn't really want to know. We were thinking of coming here with friends but needless to say we won't be returning. It's worth remembering that old saying ' the customer is always right' as it's the customer that ultimately pays towards the wages and word of mouth goes far.

Called in last Friday for the lunchtime meal deal. We were not anticipating much however when the meals arrived we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was piping hot all home cooked and 'real' chips too. The desserts looked lush especially the welsh cake cheesecake apparently served with chocolate sauce the chef came out to say she had made it herself.The dining room interior is very quirky a modern twist on a scandi theme.We would not hesitate to recommend will certainly be returning!!

Was at The Railway with a largish party. Starter of garlic mushrooms comprised very few mushrooms floating in a ramekin full of runny cream. My rib eye steak was overdone and inedible. No discount on my bill so £16.95 for a spoonful of frozen peas and a few chips. This lack of acknowledgement for a poor meal will not attract me back or to recommend to others

We dropped in to the Railway as we in the area and were hungry for lunch. We had known the Railway for many years and had heard it was under new ownership so it might have been a gamble - but it wasn't! On entering we were reassured as not much had been changed or "poshed up" in the layout and furnishings. Lots of signs up on the walls saying that the food was cooked from fresh so that it might take time to come. We were shown by friendly bar staff to our table in the comfortable and relaxed dining room and our drinks brought to us. The food came in reasonable time. He had ham and eggs, I had chili con carne and then a big bowl of REAL potato chunky chips. My chili was delicious and hot/spicy, just how I would make it and one so seldom gets in eateries - at £7.95 well priced. My friend said his ham was top notch and same price as mine. The chef came out to ask if everything was ok. I saw several things I would like to try another time - I will certainly be back. They are upholding the excellent tradition of their predecessors who are still living next door in their retirement. Only suggestion, that the menu indicates just how hot their chili is - I loved it but many might find it a bit OTT.

Visited here on 02 Jan with my boyfriend after hearing good things and we were pleasantly surprised. Apart from the chef being a bit disgruntled about us turning up at 3pm on a bank holiday (seems fair enough), we had a really nice meal - I had a salmon fillet with crushed new potatoes (they did taste a bit microwaved, but ok), peas and a pesto sauce and salad; my boyfriend had a lamb pie with a giant portion of chips. Would visit again :)

Both my husband had a great meal when we called in on our way back from shopping the new owners had redecorated the inn but managed to keep the old world charm of the village pub with different rooms for different functions. During our visit there was a Christmas party in the dinning room and everybody looked happy and content. The staff were very helpful and were knowledgeable regarding the menu, the food was excellent and the chef came out of the kitchen to ask how we had enjoyed the meal and offered us more chips to mop up the gravy left. Didn't like the coffee from the machine but it was ok. We will be returning again and will tell all our friends and family.

This pub has a lot of potential with a large car park and lots of local adverts on approach.It has the most peculiar mixture of styles.I had my meal in the main dinning room which is distinctly spooky -sort of like a mixture of Dracula's basement and a Bavarian hunting lodge.I mused at how I would transform it into a really nice room for under a £1000.It could be done but getting rid of the" dead dog" carpet would be a priority. I had cod and chips which was nicely done but with no adornments like mushy peas. The desert was very nice and I think home made. The barman/waiter I initially though to be rather gruff, but he turned out to be a very nice guy, attentive and pleasant throughout the meal.

Plenty room in carpark, staff very polite and helpful at bar. Meal was Sunday dinner. Offered choice of tables without advance booking. Staff took quite a long time before collecting orders. Meat was average all round but veg were severely overcooked. Prices were average

we called in here a few weeks ago at lunch. No other customers, which considering other reviews seemed strange. Have to say the food was disappointing, the fish l feel was probably frozen, the batter was greasy and not at all crisp. In general a very disappointing meal and overpriced.

Called with wife on a Monday Lunchtime for a meal. (The Web Site doesn't specify it's open then !). It has a huge car park at the back. We had a warm greeting. Pub is huge with 3 lounge/eating areas and has a lot of character. However, there was no atmosphere at all when we called primarily I'm sure because it's a bit out of the way. We were led to the large restaurant area next to the kitchen. My wife only wanted a Leek & potato soup which was on offer and I had sea bass in a white wine and chips. We waited approx 25 mins for the meals, and were disappointed with both.However, as we wanted a meal lunchtime , a drink and somewhere close to the National Botanic Gardens- it served our purpose- but I don't think we would go out of our way to eat there again.Also, it was extremely annnoying when we were eating with the comings and going through the swing door into the kitchen that the door squeeked every time- when all it needed was a bit of oil !!

I went here for my evening meal whilst I was working in Wales. The food was home cooked and really nice. The thing that made the difference for me was the gentleman who looked after me while I was there. It was greatly appreciated, especially when dining alone all week. Thank you!

If you like a nice beef steak then look no further! The chef buys his meat from a small Swansea butcher and it’s both great quality and well cooked at an amazingly low price! It’s a pub as well as a restaurant so whether you are looking to eat or just have a beer, it’s great! The only downside is that Doombar is the only ale they keep, you would expect a local welsh beer.

We recently booked and visited this establishment for a Sunday roast / 93rd birthday party, (not me by the way!) as we were staying locally for the weekend. Well what can I say!!, as soon as I arrived, the outside looked like someone’s house in this tiny, yet beautiful village, however once over the threshold it became apparent how large and beautiful the inside of this pub was, even Doctor Who would’ve been impressed with this tardis! I and another family member were greeted by a warm and friendly faced landlady, and she was a lady! Asked where we were from and made us feel incredibly welcome, then she let herself down by undercharging us for our pints £4.50 each!! At home in Wiltshire I pay £6.50 for the very same pint. We were shown to our own large table (11 people), set on our own. This restaurant was impeccable. The food was perfect with some difficult family members dietary requirements, even the chef came to the table which turned out to be the landlord, what a nice guy he was too. This place was so good, I felt only obliged to buy the landlord and landlady a drink to say thank you for looking after us. After giving the 93-year-old the bumps to celebrate, we left happy and fulfilled. Thank you guys!
