Had a fantastic Sunday lunch today with my wife at The Railway , started off in the bar for a drink first , lad behind the bar was friendly and polite . We went through to our table and was greeted by Andrea the new landlady who was brilliant all the way through . The food was excellent and so was the service, we will be back soon

Popped in for a quick drink as in the area, which then turned into a few more. Guinness great, friendly staff, pub filled up while we were there so clearly popular. Food looked great although didn’t try it this time. Will call in again when next nearby.

Great band on and a lovely atmosphere, everyone really friendly. Can't wait to try their food. Just one bug bear of mine is that if you have lovely filament lights with shades, please ensure you polish them regularly, I hate seeing dust on the shade and bulb. Just being picky but it's the small things sometimes

A family dinner for my Dad's birthday. Table booked for 5.30 as we had children with us. Terrible service from start to finish, the restaurant was empty apart from my family. Three out of the six meals were all incorrect or food was missing. We will not return for food it's a real shame as the pub is lovely. You really need to up your game.

We paid a visit to The Railway on a Friday night and although they were very busy they managed to find a table for the 4 of us. The food arrived quickly and was hot. All four meals were delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We then moved into the bar where they had a live band playing. The atmosphere was good and overall we all had a good night. Would definitely return again 😊

We treated ourselves to Sunday lunch as eaten in here a few times but not for Sunday lunch, won’t be back for it again. The meat was good but did have a lot of fat on it as for the rest was all Aunt Bessie’s frozen everything, paid extra for cauliflower cheese which was just a packet mix cheese sauce. When you go out for lunch expect it to be well cooked good fresh food better than you can cook at home this clearly wasn’t. Was gonna have dessert but as we was so let down with dinner didn’t fancy it, Overall very disappointed

Always been a fan of this place, and I had heard some good things following the renovation, so was very keen to visit. I popped in last Sunday and spoke to a very pleasant member of bar staff who took a booking for a table of four for last night (01/12/23). I was pleased that confirmation was given that the venue was still dog friendly, and he even spotted my New England Patriots hat, and we had a very brief NFL conversation. Having arrived last night, we attempted to enter with our dog, however whilst the pub is dog friendly, the restaurant is not. Honest mistake I thought, and a member of bar staff said that we’d be ok ordering from the restaurant and eating in the pub, which we were fine with. Upon entering the restaurant again to seek menus, we were told that the kitchen was actually only open for the festive menu. Again, fair enough, honest mistake I thought, and we’d have been OK(ish) with ordering from the festive menu. However, the conversation then changed to the fact that the restaurant was now only open for private Christmas parties, and we wouldn’t be able to order anything at all. This was surprising and disappointing in equal measure, as there had been plenty of opportunities to tell us this, as we’d already spent around 30min in the pub having a drink before food. We were told that our booking “should not have been taken” however having left contact details several days previous when booking, I find it astonishing that nobody took the time to call to explain this prior to arrival. In the end, we walked to Tarro Lounge, who were extremely accommodating as always. I’m not one to be overly negative, however I found the whole experience really poor in terms of service, and won’t be returning as a result. This is a shame, as the atmosphere is generally friendly, there is a good selection of drinks, and the new menu looked to have been given a lot of thought. We strongly recommend avoiding based on service levels for the time being.

We had lunch recently. the food was cooked to order and was delicious. The service was very good but the downside was that the inside of the building is in need of an urgent and major refit. We found all of the carpets and fittings to be tired and worn with a moth-eaten stags head hanging on the wall! I don't know what kind of ambiance the brewery are trying to create with this decor, but the modern restaurant eater requires better.

I would not recommend this place at all, me and a family member visited 26/07/2020 for a Sunday roast, on arrival we were told that there wasn’t any Sunday roasts left? We arrived at 2pm yet there supposed to serve this until 4pm?. So we decided to ordered something else of the menu, my family member order mushroom and Brie wellington which had nuts in, this wasn’t made aware on the menu so couldn’t be eaten. I decided to buy her a dessert as she couldn’t eat her meal, dessert was paid for and so we sat waiting, a waitress came and told us there wasn’t any of what we ordered left again! So went and got a refund for the dessert. The waitress also was not the most welcoming either.

Visited with friends who live locally for an impromptu early dinner. The pub itself is lovely with a charming 'traditional pub' look and decor and it had a warm and friebdly atmosphere. It is dog friendly (which is a plus for me) and appeared to be throughout, so for those who may not be accepting of this, worth bearing in mind. We didn't book, but were found a table (there were 5 of us) and given a decent time limit before they needed the table again. The menu is small but well formed with classics of pub fayre. The specials were in line with PIE week and most of us ate from this menu. I chose the chicken pie and it was delicious. A proper encased pie with a lovely filling. The veg and mash were fresh and cooked well. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. There was no room for dessert for me but other chose puddings which were also well received. The whole party commented on how good the food was. Myself and my partner both being chefs rarely get to eat out on a saturday evening so this ws a real treat. Proper well cooked food in a lovely environment.A lovely gesture of a candle in cheesecke for our friend for her birthday was a lovely surprise. Good food and beer in a nice environment, we will be back when we are in the area.

The perfect location of The Railway Steamin Billy is ideal for a post match meal after a train trip to see the Leicester Tigers play. Booking was easy on line and, because of the size of my group (17), pre-ordering meant that the excellent meals were ready in no time once we had arrived. Courteous staff, good value for money all in comfortable environment makes a visit to The Station a pleasure.

The Railway is quite simply the best pub in Hinckley. They have the perfect mix of great food, great drinks, great staff, great people and great dogs (well, they don’t actually belong to the pub but are always made to feel very welcome and are given a biscuit or two). What more could you want? I regularly meet friends for a drink or dinner and have also had a couple of events in the bar area over the last 18 months. Always 5⭐️. Thanks Adam, Ella and the rest of the lovely team for making me and the dogs feel at home :)

Visited with a party of 15, didn’t really want the Xmas menu but told that’s all they could do. Food was pretty poor to be honest although we have been before and would rate it higher at previous visits. Pretty tasteless and unappealing, beef was more like corned beef and people who had turkey said it was very dry. Last orders at 11.00 pm and were told we had to be out for 11.15 thought this a bit early for a Saturday night over Christmas.

The yardstick of any restaurant has to be the quality and presentation of the food, closely followed by the friendliness, courtesy and efficiency of the staff and in all these areas Steamin Billy's Railway gets five stars. Just one suggestion the decor and heating in the main restaurant area (ex conservatory) could be better. The "shabby chic" looks a bit too shabby and the constant stream of smokers popping in and out for a fag ensures an icy blast to a room that is not warm to start with. In every other respect a great pub with even better food and lovely staff.

Pleasant dining environment with some unusual items on display. Only a few minor issues with the food, notably the vegetables, which were not just al dente but closer to undercooked. Overall a good experience & a cracking pint of Billy!

A fantastic evening spent at the Railway with friends. The food was excellent and the staff very attentive. A great place to have a meal.

This is one of mine and my fella's top rated places to eat in Hinckley. The food is always really good! However we recently visited on a Sunday and were slightly underwhelmed by the experience. My partner had the roast with the choice of three meats, he was expecting a nice portion of each meat. His comments were something along the lines of 'they've just piled a million potatoes on my plate'. I had the haddock filet with new potatoes, which wouldn't be a normal choice for me but I didn't fancy a roast. Haddock was okay, slightly bland, could have been seasoned better. All in all, we do really like it here for mid-week cheap eats & a nice selection of bevvy's. However we won't be returning for food on a Sunday.

I visit the railway on a number of occasions and I can honestly say I have never experienced a bad meal or never been unwelcome with the staff. They have great staff, great food and it’s a great atmosphere.

Absolutely fabulous meal from Pete and the team. Perfectly cooked steak and really tasty vegetarian Wellington from the new menu. And to top it off a delightful pudding in the Apple strudel. Thanks to all.

The beefburgers were delicious and definitely home made. My chicken and avocado salad was so fresh and tasty, one of the best salads I have had amongst the many hostelries we have visited. Great food and atmosphere. Will be back.

Visited for lunch with husband and mother in law. We had reserved and they were expecting us. The staff, behind the bar and the waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to choose where we wanted to sit and which table we wanted. The menu was varied with enough choice to satisfy us all. There was a good choice of house wine including a New Zealand Sauvignon which was reasonably priced.

Service was great but the portion size for my gluten free option was very, very small and definitely not worth £16.79. Not comparative to the regular, non gluten free option.
