We meet every Friday in the Tap and Railway. Always clean and welcoming. Beers are pretty much always available across the entire range.

We visited on a weekday afternoon for a drink and a main meal. We were greeted and served promptly and took our drinks to the outside seating. This is a paved area with a kids' play area adjacent. For our food we moved indoors and used the Greene King app to order. Again, there was only a short wait and our food (scampi and lasagne) was served and was hot and tasty. Sport was on the TVs dotted around the pub and it was easy to watch for anyone interested but not intrusive.

Five of us stopped for lunch here on one of our Thursday walks and we were all really impressed with the quality our meals. The price of the food and drink is seriously competitive (e.g. Thursday special - sirloin steak and chips £12!) but when you dial in the very pleasant staff it’s our new favourite place.

Wow what a nice pub. Looked lovely from the outside and just as nice inside. Having looked at some of the pictures on the wall behind the bar, we got the feeling like the pub has been a family business for some time and dad and son were pictured. Nice friendly staff who were very sincere and accommodating. So we had two adult meals, chicken katsu curry and I had the ultimate sharer which was amazing ! Both the adult meals were fantastic and really good value. Out little one had what she usually had which was a burger meal. Although not a complicated meal to prepare, this one seemed to be put together and cooked really well and was enjoyed 100%. The adults didn’t have any puds as he were stuffed but the little one had ice cream and a brownie which really looked good and was a generous portion too. If I had had room I definitely would have had one of those too lol. All in all this pub had a lovely atmosphere and provided a really good standard of food and at a reasonable price too. We highly recommend this one!

This was the first time we visited in a few years. Easy disabled parking close to the front entrance. We were shown to a table that was suitable to accommodate a wheelchair. The menu was filled with some really nice meals all at reasonable prices. Both mum and I ordered the mixed grill with extra eggs on both. When our meals arrived we were surprised at how large the meal was. Both steaks were cooked exactly as requested and the other meats were of good size, moist and tender. If anything, I would have liked some mushrooms and beans, but we could not fault the meals in anyway. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and it was very clean. I don't know it's due a refurbishment but some of the furniture was tatty and has definitely seen better days. On the whole, lovely staff and atmosphere and outstanding food.

We had called in for a light lunch. Sadly the food was not very good even after having waited 30 minutes for it to appear. The table we occupied needed cleaning, there were lots of sticky ring marks and the whole place looked very shabby. We won’t be rushing back. We understand the manager was on holiday, but this shouldn’t make a difference.

Stopped in for a drink while on a ride on the Castlemain trail. The pub had a good selection of beers, soft drinks and snacks.Found it odd that the pub didn't have bike racks when it is on a busy cycle lane. The pub was very popular with seniors as they are able to get 2 courses for £6.99.

My mother always insists on taking me and other family members to this pub for lunch. I do not understand why. Yes, the prices are cheap but the food is very mediocre and nothing special. One of our party ordered the lasagne. It wasn’t cooked properly. On questioning a staff member we were advised nothing could be done as this was how the food was delivered to the pub, rather than being cooked on site. The gents toilet had no soap to wash hands, this being a restaurant is unforgivable. I did report this to a staff member and was told they had a contractor who looks after this aspect. Hopefully, the staff member found some soap from somewhere until the contractor returned. I think this will be my last visit to the ‘Tap and Railway’ at West Moors.

I haven't had a pie for over 20 years, but as the menu mentioned winning a 'Best Pub Pie' award, I thought I'd give it a go (beef and ale) and wow, it was wonderful. Rich Ruddles ale gravy, thick short crust pastry and genuinely melt in the mouth beef (no chewing required!). Plenty of fresh seasonal veg and a generous side dish containing rich, thick gravy. Very impressed.
