The Railway in Richmond upon Thames

Just been overcharged for a drink I did not order: Barman told me he was serving me a Pinit Grigio Spritzer, but then charged me for a Sauvignin Blanc- at the cost of £3 extra.... that's just LYING and CHEATING your customers. Will not return.

Excellent food and great atmosphere

As always a fantastic occasion at our "go to" place for a celebration.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience, good food and excellent service.

Adding an automatic service charge of 10% for 2 diners is just not cool. This is not America. Ok. So I love this place. I really do. The service is good too. But will think twice before coming here again. I don't like this abhorrent practice of adding an automatic tip.

Really handy gastro pub next to Teddington Station. We were a bit late booking a table ahead of a Harlequins game but this place has availability. Service was really attentive but not unexpectedly did drop off when the place got busier. Food was fantastic and portion size generous, especially the Ultimate ham, eggs and chips which was ultimate! Probably needed 2 eggs to balance the half a leg of ham. Will be back

Lovely food, great friendly service

Great food, atmosphere and the staff are very personable. I would highly recommend and i'm already looking forward to going back!

The pub is set as a restaurant. We were put upstairs in a small room that has a doctors waiting room type atmosphere. Good Sunday roast, although veg serving was small with three small potatoes, 1 carrot, 1 parsnip, and a little bit of creamy cabbage. Cauliflower cheese was hard, and I thought that £24 for the burger was excessive pricing. I'd return, but not in a rush as I ultimately would expect more for the prices charged.

Great food and lovely kind service... Would definitely recommend 😊

Fantastic party in the upstairs room. Staff so attentive and helpful in the planning and on the actual night. Great communication and very friendly. Everything ran perfectly including food timings, drinks, help with cake etc. Highly recommend!

Excellent in all areas, we visited last year and were remembered… which was really lovely. Service was first class, attentive but at the right level. Food was splendid and the atmosphere was very friendly…. The best pub I. Teddington

The service was a bit slow but they servers were really nice and had a good sense of humour, also super polite. Main courses were excellent, dessert was 50/50. Would go again.

Staff lovely and great atmosphere. The vegetarian roast and the beef were very good size portions. However there was only one slice of pork and a small amount of lamb which was disappointing

Nice food and drinks. Friendly service and comfortable

Great food good value good service

One of our favourites and it never disappoints. Great food, drinks and service. The sharing boards for Sunday roast are a must-try

Even though table booked waited age to have our order taken, barmaid miserable? Not enough staff and waited 40 minutes to receive food which arrived atoday different times for 3 people in our group.Express Lunch JOKE.

Fantastic food especially Sunday lunch, good service & drinks. Dog friendly what more can you ask for

One of the best Sunday roasts around!

Five Stars – Best Sunday Roast & Wonderful Birthday Experience! We had the most amazing experience at The Railway in Teddington – hands down the best Sunday roast we've ever had! Everything was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavour, and beautifully presented. What made it even more special was how wonderfully the staff treated my son, who was celebrating his 20th birthday. They went out of their way to make him feel special – even singing Happy Birthday and surprising him with a delicious brownie and ice cream on the house. Such a thoughtful and generous touch! The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. We left with full hearts and full stomachs. Highly recommend for a hearty roast, a relaxed atmosphere, and truly outstanding hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

Waaaaay too expensive for a roast

Food was amazing as always. I had the seafood pasta which was huge and full of prawns,mussels,squid etc. My fiance had the rump of lamb and it was melt in the mouth.

I am a regular lunchtime customer. Excellent food, beautifully presented, reasonable waiting times, pleasant and friendly staff. Good value for money. The music is usually not too imposing and at a reasonable volume to allow comfortable conversation.

Another perfect Mothers Day Sunday at this fabulous pub . Divine roast dinner cooked to perfection -where else can you get medium rare beef that melts in the mouth ? All the trimmings beautifully presented and the puddings to die for ! This place run by Jenny and Gary is always consistently excellent and we love it .

The staff weee so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend and will be going back there

Amazing steak and mussels!! Service was quick and friendly. Super doggy friendly too. Will definitely be going back!

Had a great lunch today Richard really is the top host always very professional with his service I’ll be back 👍

Food was ok,wasn’t cooked that great…flat beer …sent back twice but the same thing came back..for £7 a pint would expect beer to be 1000 times better.

Unfortunately it was not the Mothering Sunday I had hoped for. Not for my mother, my lifelong friends or for myself. Whilst we enjoyed the food and the staff were polite and helpful, I would like the management to acknowledge the following: I booked our table on or soon after the 14th of February stating that we had a well behaved dog. Yet we were seated on a table that could not accommodate a dog to even lay down. He spent the whole time tangled amongst our feet which meant I was unable to relax for the entirety of our visit. I even emailed, first thing, in the morning to check you were still happy to accommodate a dog as I received no acknowledgement from you to say that my special request was accepted or not accepted? Just as well, the dog I brought was not a St Bernard!!!! On the mini blackboard on our table was a list of guests that were to be seated there throughout Mothering Sunday. This immediately gave me and my guests the impression that we were just on a ‘get rich quick’ conveyor belt. Get them in, get them out, re-sell the table type attitude. We were told that we needed to be prompt to sit down, yet once we ordered our food we waited 45 mins for it to arrive. At pudding time we were told we had to be quick as we only had 10 minutes left before our table was re-sold. We would have loved to stay for pudding but didn’t want to add indigestion to our rushed experience. I had driven from Gloucestershire, 2.5 hrs, one of my friends had travelled from Scotland and the other from Sussex, just so we could celebrate what should have been a very special day of feeling appreciated. The final insult was when I was handed a bill without the £80 deposit deducted, which I had paid a month prior and then we were presented with Mother’s Day envelopes with vouchers in and were told, with a huge amount of glee, that these were so we could return and quote, ‘spend even more money!’ So we left the establishment not being able to have pudding or coffee and feeling quite short changed, to be frank. The Railway HAD been our local for many years which is why we wanted to return but I think a picnic from M&S in the park would have been a more enjoyable option, on this occasion. My husband has spent many years in hospitality and always took great pride in making his customers feel very special. I am afraid we all just felt like we were cash cows.

Lovely pub very near the station. Nice seating outside in the sun to have a drink, with plenty inside and upstairs too. This pub has a good selection of beers and reasonably priced food. Will definitely be going again!

Mother’s Day dinner. Fabulous as ever!

Enjoyable late afternoon lunch at The Railway. The food was great (special shoutout to the desserts!) and the service was impeccable. The team were attentive and always at hand to take orders. Visited for Mothers day, so you would expect it to be busy (and it was) but even so, food was out quickly and cooked to perfection

I was one of the first in for mother’s Day and unfortunately the person I was bringing wasn’t able to attend. However , as I paid the deposit already I dined solo ! I was felt welcome , food was outstanding and the owner and the charming South African lady who greeted me were both incredibly welcoming. I’m a regular guest and you guys never fail to disappoint- even with a big workload which I’m sure you had - especially on mother’s Day. Thank you again

Great food. Pork crackle was a highlight. Nice cocktails.

Took my wife for her birthday and we had a lovely time! The staff were very hospitable, warm and organised a nice surprise for her birthday! We had the weekday set menu which was great value and quite filling. Really nice pub!

Recent dinner party upstairs for 33 of us. Thank you so much. We all had an amazing evening last night. The food was wonderful and the service was exceptional. A 50th to remember 🤩

The best roast I’ve ever eaten out! Everything is cooked to Perfection and so tasty!

Great food and great service. Very pleased to see the Vegan options.

Fantastic Food and service - very attentive! Will definitely be going back.

Firstly - the good The manager. She's so passionate about what she does and really impressed us. The cheeseboard. Wow it's amazing. The best selection & delicious grapes. The vegan chef who makes the incredible bread for the cheeseboard (I'd eat that daily!) & also makes the vegan nut roast for the Sunday menu. Easily the best nut roast I've had in ages - both flavour & texture. Next - the bad Sadly the famous roast just didn't do it for us. The potatoes were overcooked & hard. Cauliflower cheese was more an overcooked mush and not very cheesy. Greens came in cream and weren't nice. A deep fried parsnip....no words. The gravy lacked balls. And my asparagus wasn't cu down so was strawlike. THE PLACE WAS SO FULL THOUGH. Clearly lots of people disagree with our thoughts Finally - the ugly Some of the staffing issues were rather annoying. We were asked many times about drinks / ordering / how's everything - they need their own tables of responsibility. We ordered wine from someone who clearly forgot. And an error on the order left a waitress so frustrated she literally walked off in a huff - it was almost funny it was so dramatic

Three of us for midweek £13 two course lunch. Remarkably fine food, very reasonably priced, and excellent service. What more could one ask?

Muy bonito pub mimado por el hedor de pescado que olía a amoniaco. ¡Probablemente Merluza! No hay ventilador extractor en Kichen supongo. No nos quedamos tan abrumadores.

We'd love to come back. We enjoyed delicious mussels and fish and chips.

Priscilla managed to stretch our table from 4 to 5 even though the place was full- and despite this the food was a s good as always, with very good service from the team. We must come again soon-Ona non-rugby day!

Absolutely fantastic. Had bever bern before will definitely be returning

Great food and great value for money(we ate from the lunchtime menu). Lovely atmosphere and just the right amount of attention from the staff. I eat here fairly regularly and always enjoy it. Thank you

We had a great evening, food was excellent, and the service very friendly and well timed

The manager was absolutely wonderful, the food really good but the most important thing that the manager and the staff were so welcoming. I live in Chiswick but will drive to Teddington to eat at the Railway again!!

I love this little gem of a pub. We had a family roast and which coke out on trays and you help your self. The food is delicious and I would highly recommend that you book. The staff amazing and friendly. This is a dog friendly pub and alway ended chatting to people.

Staff are amazing as is the food. My favourite place to meet friends for a drink.

Great food (had the steak) Fantastic service

Lovely lunch with friends. Thank you

Great food. Love Sunday roast sharing board. Sub optimal table for two allocated. Right near the entrance which was not great. Least of all as it provided direct viewing into the men's urinals. This was not appreciated. I would respectfully suggest that consideration is given to this. The entrance requires a door which is less than ideal as food and drink have to be carried up and downstairs. But it I pairs enjoyment.

We were a group of 7 ladies having lunch. Went for the set lunch menu - we all chose different options and were all happy with the food. Service was friendly, efficient and helpful and it was a nice atmosphere all round

Just love the friendly service at this place. Staff are always so accommodating

Prawn cocktail with only 2 prawns for £14 was a disappointment. Otherwise food and service good. Atmosphere was too noisy however. With no soft furnishings to absorb noise the last thing you need is quite loud musak. Why restaurants think musak is a good idea complely defeats me.

Super almuerzo antes de tomar el corto viaje en tren a Twickenham. Los sábados en los partidos ofrecen un menú precioso. Tuve una burrata maravillosa seguido de un pastel de pollo súper. Hay cuatro opciones para cada curso y a £ 40 en el día del partido valor razonable. Si llegas el lunes en cambio puedes tener una comida increíble a un precio que me parece justo. Nuestras comidas fueron acompañadas por una botella de pintura Pul a un precio razonable y varios Guinness muy bien cuidado. El ambiente era bullicioso pero no revoltoso y no tendrás un paseo por la mesa en los días de partido. Gracias equipo Michael

Popped in Friday evening as a last minute decision and managed to nab the last table, the food and service was exceptional. Ordered the chicken with raclette potatoes and rib eye steak with hand cut chips - I don’t even like onion rings but the batter was nothing less than perfection. Thank you for saving us from a dark, cold, wet February evening, oh and 2 for £15 cocktails and a roaring open fire were additional bonuses!

This place is a hidden gem in Teddington. The food is out of this world tasty. The staff are so friendly and welcoming especially Richard. Richard adds extra warmth and charm to this pub. Try the wagyu burger is unbelievably delicious. 5 stars. Highly recommended

Weekday lunch with friends we all stuck to the normal menu. The Xmas menu looks very good. The normal set menu on Thursday was brilliant both for the taste and the price. Service really very good, wines by the glass great choice and my favourite Harveys Beer on tap. This pub restaurant is famous for its Sunday Lunches and when I asked a customer he told me we should book after Xmas as they are fantastic! Including drinks our bill between 4 was £110 Update we tried Sunday lunch Sunday 2 Feb and all 4 of us said best Sunday lunch out ever! I had lamb it was delicious the Pork was also brilliant. Its busy so book soon !!

Great pub jammed on a sunday better when less busy

Visitado con la familia. El almuerzo del domingo fue épico. Recomendamos compartir los almuerzos del domingo. El cordero era increíble (al igual que la carne de res individual que tenía mi SIL) Un montón de comida. Todo delicioso. El cordero estaba maravillosamente cocinado y todavía muy rosa. Los cerdos en mantas eran excelentes. Los niños se lo pasaron genial y el personal y el servicio fue brillante. Tan amable y paciente. Aconsejaría reservar una mesa y disfrutar!

Been twice for Sunday roast now, right up there with the best, if not a serious contender for the no.1 spot! It’s pricey, but the food is fantastic, very attentive service, can’t fault it!

I took family here for my birthday lunch and we couldn’t ask for any better. Great roast boards, great service and we all have a blast. Thank you, we will be back soon.

The most incredible fish and chips EVER

Squeezed us in on a busy Sunday lunch service Service was very efficient, professional and friendly. The food was outstanding, absolutely coming again. Thank you!

Almorzamos el domingo aquí con miembros de la familia. Situado junto a la estación de tren. Estaba muy ocupado, me alegro de que hicimos una reserva. Nos sentamos en una mesa alta con taburetes, no estoy seguro de si había mesas más bajas, los baños estaban arriba, así que no es muy conveniente para todos los clientes. Teníamos pollo asado. Porciones adecuadas y muy bien cocinado. Abrigo con bebidas £ 115.

Hemos estado en este restaurante muchas veces para las cenas de domingo y siempre hemos recomendado la comida y el servicio amable, sin embargo, tuvimos una experiencia realmente mala en el día del boxeo. El personal claramente no quería estar allí, los platos fueron olvidados de nuestro pedido, el servicio era lento y tuvimos que pedir platos varias veces después de la comida llegó. Cuando nos quejamos del filete que era duro, el gerente ni siquiera se disculpó y trató de culpar a la manera en que pedimos que se cocinara. Luego se la llevó y se fue a pesar de que éramos educados y tratábamos de encontrar una solución con él. Lamentablemente después de esta experiencia nunca volvería aquí de nuevo, tal lástima que han permitido que el ambiente familiar se deslice.

Visited a few times before but this was with friends before the rugby at Twickenham. Unlike other restaurants in and around the Twickenham area, this place does NOT exploit the rugby fan diner by offering hugely inflated prices for below-average dishes. There was a good and varied choice for pre-order and the quality was excellent - the place was extremely busy with pre-match diners but staff were extremely attentive and efficient - thank you. Excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Always an enjoyable evening at the Railway. Good food and service. Thank you.

Highly recommend the ultimate roast, food was superb! Portions were large , we had to take some of the food away. Went with my two dogs and sat outside in their patio, which was heated but used as a smoking/ waiting area for pple yet to be seated. Next time, we will book a table indoors.

We were a very large work Christmas party but I was very impressed with the quality of food and such great attentive service considering the large party.

We didn't have a booking for a Sunday roast, but they kindly squeezed us in despite being very busy. The roast was really nice. I've not enjoyed a roast as much for a long time. The staff were very accommodating and were nice enough to substitute custard instead of ice cream with my pudding despite it not being on the menu. Overall, it was a nice warm environment, lovely food and very accommodating service. Thanks!

Had dinner Saturday evening with my sister, brother in law, husband and two friends. The food and the service was absolutely amazing. We were booked in at 7 pm we was not rushed a relaxing evening and the railway was very busy. I would recommend this place to anyone 10 / 10 for this place. Definitely will return.

Nice local pub. Friendly service. Food lovely. Can be a little noisy / echoey at times.

I have enjoyed the always brilliant weekday lunch set menu at The Railway so many times I've lost count! I must have taken all my friends there and they all ask to return when they visit Teddington. The menu changes daily, the choice is always excellent and it's always great value. I finally had a chance to have Sunday lunch at The Railway. What a treat! A friend and I enjoyed a superb Sunday roast (chicken) that was absolutely delicious and came with a generous helping of a variety of veg and roast potatoes. It was a perfect winter feast. Don't hesitate to go - but Sundays are very popular so make sure you book!

Lovely pub with excellent food, efficient and friendly service

We booked at short notice on-line and when we got there the booking had not come through.This was dealt with superbly and we were allocated a table. the food and service were superb! We moved to the area in May and have been searching for our favourite pub. We have now found it! Love this place! From the warm welcome to a fond farewell, everything was top class.

Bit expensive on rugby days but can't fault the food service.

The sunday roast was DEVINE! We opted for the beef sharing platter (filet and sirloin) and it was cooked to perfection and just so much food! Everything on the plate was delicious and the service was amazing! I didnt get our waiters name to specifically thank him but rhe gent serving table 33 on sunday at 1pm - THANK YOU! Would 100% recommend and 100% coming back!

Lo visité con mi nieto (¡Quién es un buen comedor!) Él tenía el cordero y yo la carne asada. La carne fue cocinada a la perfección - ambos elegimos medio raro. (nos preguntaron cómo nos gustaría que se cocinara antes de pedir) La verdura... una zanahoria... una chirivía en cada plato con un tamaño de cucharadita de col... una patata asada cortada por la mitad. Yorkshire estaba perfectamente cocinado. Gravy era económico - por lo que pedimos una olla extra - sin embargo, era muy sabroso. Mientras disfruto de mis verduras “al dente” la zanahoria estaba cruda... El servicio decepcionó este lugar - nos sentamos con bebidas vacías durante bastante tiempo y el personal de servicio no preguntó si nos gustaría pedir más. (Agradezco que siempre está ocupado, en cualquier lugar para el almuerzo del domingo), pero nuestros platos tampoco se recogieron cuando habíamos terminado claramente. Numerosos empleados pasaron junto a nuestra mesa, todos ellos mirando a nuestros platos terminados y ninguno de ellos los abrió camino. Nos sentamos durante bastante tiempo, esperando y esperando - para que se despejaran para que pudiéramos pedir postres y más bebidas. Al final, llamé la atención de un miembro del personal que pasaba y le pedí la factura. No nos alojamos para postres o más bebidas.

Not sure what the buzz about this place is. Monkfish was overcooked, and the sausage and mash was okay, nothing special. The female front of staff seemed pretty disillusioned with her job. We were a table of four and had a booking from 3pm to 5pm. She clearly wanted us to order food quicker because despite us drinking she decided to put the placard for the next reservation at 5pm on the middle of the table at 3:30pm, before walking off. For front of house, that's really poor.

Third time going for Sunday Roast. Always impressive display, delicious food, great service, good atmosphere. I scored it a 4 as am not overly fond of their roast potatoes(too dry for me) but that is a preference, also my Affogato was served in a large bowl and by time I got the expresso my ice-cream was partially melted.

We came for the Sunday roast sharing platter. The food was really incredible! Hence we were so disappointed with the service following our meal. Our booking was for 1 hour 45 mins, after we finished food, they brought us the bill and we paid. We hadn't even finished our drinks and they were cleaning the table (with us sat there). They checked whether we'd paid, cleaned the table TWICE more whilst we sat there and as we were putting our coats on they started laying the table again. Could they not have waited 30 seconds? We left earlier than we wanted to because the staff made us feel so uncomfortable. We hadn't even been 1.5 hours and no one was waiting for a table. I wish we could ask for a service charge refund! So disappointing as the food had been amazing, but we left feeling really angry given how rude the staff were. We had been forced out despite being well within our booking time and no one waiting. Did not feel like a welcoming atmosphere at all.

Fantastic roast dinner, cosy pub and great atmosphere.

We had the "Ultimate Roast" for three people shared amongst the four of us. It was more than enough, the beef and lamb were cooked perfectly as was the pork, the chicken was somewhat dry but breast meat usually is. The restaurant was at capacity and the staff did an amazing job getting our drinks and food orders to us in a timely manner.

Excellent food and drink. Very dog friendly.

It used to be a pub but sadly no longer.

An obscene amount of food was presented to us. The sharing roast platter was delicious. Very busy but attentive staff. Try it if in Teddington.

The restaurant looks nice and clean and very busy on a Sunday lunch.

This is a gem. We travelled from Wiltshire for a show and had sunday lunch here. It was superb. Super lovely staff and the best roast potatoes ever. Delicious 😋

Encantador almuerzo de domingo, un montón de ella, gran servicio, personal amable y eficiente, venimos aquí un poco justo, siempre se siente acogedor

The food is average and very expensive, however the service is good.

The Wagyu burger was wonderful. Good choice of beer. Nice, calm, chilled venue, low volume ambient music. Great food. Very good service.

Este sería un buen lugar para comer y beber, pero está arruinado por un montón de perros en el pub ladrando y siendo una molestia adecuada mientras tratamos de disfrutar de una noche con amigos. ¿Por qué el propietario permite perros en el pub? La gente viene aquí para relajarse después de un día de trabajo, no tener que escuchar ladridos de perros. Ciertamente no volveremos aquí. Pagamos buen dinero para comer y beber y ciertamente no queremos que la experiencia se arruine de esta manera.

The Railway is exactly what you want in a local pub. From the moment you walk in, there’s a welcoming vibe that’s hard to beat. The staff here don’t just serve you—they genuinely care. They’re friendly, attentive, and always ready to recommend a great drink or chat about your day. There’s a real sense that the team loves what they do, and it shows. The management at The Railway knows what makes a pub special. In the summer, you’ll find the place surrounded by hanging baskets of flowers that give it a charming, almost storybook feel. When winter rolls around, a well-fed log-burning stove turns the place into a cozy retreat. It’s these thoughtful touches that make The Railway feel like a home away from home. And then there’s the food—especially the Sunday roast! This isn’t just any roast; it’s the kind people travel for. With perfectly roasted meats, crispy potatoes, and Yorkshire puddings that are the real deal, it’s a standout experience that’s worth the trip. If you’re a fan of a classic Sunday roast done right, The Railway is a must-visit. The drinks selection is solid, too, with a good mix of local ales, wines, and everything in between. Overall, The Railway nails what a local pub should be: friendly, well-run, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcome whether you’re a regular or just passing through. If you’re looking for a great local spot with a warm atmosphere, excellent food, and a top-notch team, The Railway won’t disappoint.

Quality of food has really gone downhill, and more to the point management never accept responsibility for mistakes. When asking for problems to be corrected, the manager always offers an excuse. He needs to realise that sometimes the customer has a valid reason to complain. He has an air of arrogance and accepts no accountability. As for the rest of the staff, I cannot fault them.

Fantastic place. More of a restaurant than a bar. But it was nice to sit in for a few pints and £5 margarita's.

Very good all round pub grub , friendly staff and great atmosphere, a lot of good home made food on the menu
