The Old Railway in Horsham

Perfect bike stop. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Definitely recommend :)

Smashing little pub with a coffee shop on the side, didn't have food as it was a small beer Friday afternoon time. Thankfully it hasn't changed 2024.

Really nice place to stop by on a cycle with dedicated space for bike parking. Wish they had more veggie options but I'm told they're coming in the future and did us a chip butty to accommodate! Nice outside area and the staff are great.

We my partner and my sister had drinks only, lovely atmosphere music was on as we sat in the garden . A very happy place to go.

amazing pub, the garden is pretty good too

What a great British Gem this place is. Highly recommended for families as there is a big play area out the back with lots of seating. Loved the wood burner area. Great prices. Great staff. Great evenings.........

Really friendly pub with nice staff and nice customers. Highly recommended

Only went to the cafe , but great staff and good food and service, there was an organised event 😀

Staying at The split for a night and took a short walk to The Old Railway, nice very clean country pub with really welcoming and lovely owners and highly attentive worth a visit

Very disappointed that they was no hot food available when we visited at 16.30 on a Friday.

Stopped for a beer whilst riding on the downslink. Beer was really good and the staff friendly, will be back.

Nice village pub with friendly staff and customers

Lovely bacon roll and ice cold Coke from the Sidings. Certainly needed on this scorcher of a day.

A local pub to me, good sized garden with play area. Reasonable selection of drinks but they only serve food from their outside venue, The Sidings. Unfortunately this was shut when we got there so didn't get to sample anything. It was late afternoon so I'm guessing the walkers/cyclists from the South Downs link path were all at home by then!

Update from old review. The pub no longer serves food but the Sidings kiosk does hot & cold food. Scampi & Chips, Tuna melt pannini, big breakfast roll etc. Also coffee, tea cold drinks & ice-creams.

Stopped for an early morning breakfast bap whilst on a ride. Really nice, absolutely huge and worth every penny. Coffee is pretty good as well. Will definitely stop again.

It's a best pub ever. I do like the atmosphere there.... lot's of friendly people, lovely decorted pub and clean. We visited the pub today after a long distance walk from Guildford over 50 km :) The beer 🍺 was nice , and the staff was friendly. Zoli & Laci

Such a lovely pub with friendly staff and a brilliant garden. The kids thoroughly enjoyed playing on the climbing frame and in the treehouses.

Really nice staff, very apologetic about only having kiosk food, but we loved our bacon butty and latte!

Great little place to stop for a coffee and bacon roll mid bike ride

Only a brief visit yesterday to pick up son in law after his last day at work, but clearly a popular local and serves real ale. Will be making a return visit as it's on the old Downs link railway so good starting/ending point for walks.

The provision of potatoes on the bar was second to none. Friendly staff and great locals too! Much love #thepotatothief

This being the local you would expect nice welcoming staff which it was to start off with but now it's like you are a burden if you don't come in everyday it's why there are so little amount of people in there apart from first timers

Best bacon and egg rolls on the downs link, excellent coffee and a good break to stop before carrying on down towards shoreham if you are cycling or walking the link.

Great family pub good location with parking

Nice, friendly and well kept pub for two and four legged punters.

Lovely friendly local pub next to former railway line which is great for walks

Great little pub, really good seating area outside with shady places. Also good, enclosed play area for children. Prices good, service good and toilets clean.

Lovely pub, always a good beer on and service is always welcoming

Nice stop for cyclists serving food from kiosk

Breakfast on a nice sunny morning. Only a choice of baps so no plates and cutlery. The full breakfast bap was excellent and cooked properly (no snotty eggs!). Very popular with cyclists probably because of the numerous bike racks and right on the old railway line. Loads of well distanced outdoor seating, some under cover, play area for the little ones, dogs seem to love it as well. Definitely be back here.

Nice stop off for walking or cycling trips in the area. Decent coffee and plenty of good food options available.

A pub on the edge of town that has done a lot to enable outside drinking, a lot of it sheltered. We visited as a family on a sunny day after a long walk. It was clear that there were a lot of locals who knew each other well, which is always a good sign. A very good selection of local beers and ciders as well as the normal fizzy stuff. Well worth a visit, especially to support a business who is clearly trying very hard in difficult times.

Welcome food stop for a bike ride or one of the many walks in the area. Bacon and sausage baguette👍

Good coffee and cake, only except credit card payment over £5.00.

Price for 2 half pints of lager and lime £8.40. Very pricey. Cost us £4.80 at another local pub week before.

Friendly pub with a café for walkers and cyclists doing the Downslink. Reasonable prices and nice food. I was cycling so just had a bacon roll & coffee in the garden - very welcome and tasty.

Brilliant stop-off cycling the Downs link. Great staff and service x

Good snacks and coffee friendly service

Excellent well kept Harvey's Sussex

Cute pub garden Kiddies Playground

Excellent, friendly local pub with outside food and drinks kiosk and wonderful huge garden with play area. Normally has Harvey's Best and Taylor's Landlord on.

Excellent to have a bike coffee stop, great cheerful service xx

Perfect venue to aim for if cycling Downs Link, we got there from Brighton easy. Pretty good bacon sarnie, cup of tea, refuelled and headed back to Brighton.

Really great food great value. Great setting covered seating for rainy days take away service very good. All credit to lorraine and Mick.

Bacon bap in Covid safe outdoor, undercover seating area before a lovely walk.

I frequent this route often on my bicycle and do part of the Downs Link Path. This time I had my daughter and grandson with me in the pushchair. The surface is smooth enough for the buggy. The great thing about walking this route that you are surrounded by nature. Trees and bushes of all kinds and at this time of year soft fruits se still abundant. We came across a wild plumb tree and harvested just enough to make a few pots of jam. Was the original seed thrown out of a train window all those years ago? One thing I noticed was that cyclists were courteous when you made room for them. Lovely to see families enjoying a walk together. Then suddenly, the canopy changes from being enclosed to open skies and you cross over a river. Lots of well signed public footpaths take you off the old railway across fields onto a different adventure. The pub at the car park was busy and on this fine day all the tables were occupied with people enjoying themselves. A lovely atmosphere.

A really nice pub. The new owners have made this pub and gardens a great place to visit. Nice owners and staff. Recommended

Thank you for all your support today for our mums wake,and the the proper cups of tea .Lynn Dans mum xxxxx

Traditional Pub with a wicked pool table

Great place... lovely landlady just taken over worth a visit.

Friendly local pub, perfect to pop in to if you are on the Downslink. Two well kept ales, and a good programme of events. New owners are doing a great job, definitely worth a visit.

Called into this nice little pub by chance and discovered that it was just (about 2 weeks) under new ownership. Friendly welcome and very good quality of 2 ales bodes well for the future as they put their own stamp on what looks like a good local.

Great pub with new management. No food at mo but should be up and running soon. Worth a visit.

We only had a drink, staff very friendly, fresh water for our dog and biscuits.

Oh dear, long bike ride and it’s closed until further notice! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't bother, staff training needed in etiquette!!!

Unfriendly rude staff, no food, despite sign outside saying lunch available.

Not interested. Didn't know if food was on.

Not much atmosphere, okay for youngsters, but up for sale, maybe closing.

Lovely location, fabulous staff, and lovely food ..

Good pub didnt go in but from outside looks great

Really nice pub , great staff , good food and atmosphere

Nice local boozer. A must for a drink witb the locals

Really good place to watch football I highly recommend

Really nice staff and freshly cooked food.

It's a rather nice old pub on the old train line that is now the south downs link. Good for a place to stop when out walking or cycling the bridle way. They serve a variety of different drinks at not to bad a price and also serve food. We had the pleasure of ordering some lunch when we went the other day and it was delicious. I had the steak baguette which had so much steak in!!! My other half had the scampi with the biggest thick cut chips you will get see. We took our dogs which where warmly greeted and presented with their own water bowl and we where offered some complimentary dog treats which our girls loved. They have several different seating options including a nice area for children to play in and a beer garden for those whose other halves Wont let them go play on the toys because as she put it, 'arnt you too old for that now' I really think it was because she would be jealous and had to watch the dogs while I haf all the fun. Good pub nice service.

Unless you are near collapse.....

Friendly but a bit quiet for us

Friendly atmosphere, grate little pub

Great if you enjoy drunk teenagers fighting in the street, and calling the police.

Great local pub, does food ,big garden for the summer

(very) late food filled with excuses. Sunday lunch ruined by trying to make it fashionable too. Very loud and echoey, and done up in a cheap way inside and out. Overpriced to boot.

This place is ok. Its out the way. If you were out walkin n fancied sum refreshments this would be a stop off point. Staff seem freindly enuogh. Quiet place.

Quite plain pub, food is nothing to write home about but the garden is great for kids.

Pool table friendly nice food, live music and garden.

Lovely breakfast and the landlord had treats for our dog's.

Great breakfast place for a Sunday morning bike ride

Good food. Football on good screen. God atmosphere and banter

I am ashamed that we have to even leave a one star it was appalling. We came for a family meal on a Sunday afternoon, worst meal of my life arrived to a small car park which we could only just fit into!!!! The staring locals giving us dirty looks and not made to feel welcome. My daughter when in to the play ground area it was fowl and dirty broken toys, broken equipment. It was filthy and broken where we sat down, outside and immediately got up and went inside which was not any better. There were so many flies.when inside we were welcomed buy a dirty stinky run down pub. With stinky dogs every where it smelt like dog excrement. I hate dogs and to let them walk about every where during your meal is unacceptable. The table was extremely dirty stained table cloths, and my glass was filthy. There was even a hair in my daughters drink !!!!! I had to clean the cutlery, It was stained. looking around the (restaurant) dead flies on tables and window ledges dog hair all over floor NOT SUTIABLE FOR EATING AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT leaves you feeling sick!!! so with a chance of food poising give it a try but don't say i didn't warn you. If you like a dog kennel that serves (human food) go for it!

Always stop for a pint when on a ride with my son to the inlaws in Ashurst for su day dinner

Good for a pint if your passing or meeting friends

Nice pub good food great people

An amazing find away from the High Street and conveniently located close to the beautiful Southdowns link!

Cute little local with really good guest beers.
