The Railway in Mid Sussex

Visited yesterday with friends. Have been coming to the Railway for over 30 years, always enjoy my time here. However yesterday was disappointing, the place we sat at had a big hole in it and just looked shabby. I have to comment on the toilets every time we have come for the last few years the toilets absolutely stink of stale urine and it is so off putting. For a chain as big as Greene king I’m surprised this is allowed to happen. Such a shame as the Railway was always my go to pub. Please sort out the loos.

The pub needs to do something about the car park. Won't go back I'm afraid as there's plenty of pubs with proper car parks. Machine only takes coins. Shame as the pub is quite nice.

We had an amazing roast dinner on Mother's Day. Absolutely delicious and plentiful

Great afternoon in the sun!! Catching up with a friend and decided to visit Railway, we sat in the garden as the sun was still out. Loved that we could order off the app and drinks were promptly brought out. Will be back for sure!!

We had a bottomless brunch in the Railway and it was better than any of the other pubs in the area. The drinks kept coming and the food was on time, it and flavoursome. I have been in this pub many times and each time the staff are friendly and the wine is good. Easy parking. Just type your number plate on the screen and you're done. By far the best pub in Burgess Hill

Belated mothers day treat with my daughters! Food was fantastic, service spot on and we were in on a quiz night! So much fun, despite not winning! Definitely worth a visit!

Banging burger of the month! Belated Mother’s Day celebration with a cheeky quiz night thrown in! Great vibe, great service, great food! Never a disappointment! Well worth a visit! At least twice a month with the ‘burger of the month’! Two different burgers to choose from each month! Love it!

Honestly one of the best experiences in a long time from front of house kayleigh was on point and a pleasure to deal with ... then the food phenomenal smashed burger cooked by Harry made with love ..definitely recommend 10 out of 10

The Railway Pub in East Grinstead has seriously stepped up its game, thanks to a new chef who’s completely turned the place around. If you haven’t been in a while, it’s time to give it another go—because the food is next level. First off, the Buffalo Chicken Burger is a beast. Crispy, juicy chicken absolutely drenched in buffalo sauce, with just the right mix of spice and tang. Add in a toasted brioche bun, fresh toppings, and a killer blue cheese dressing, and you’ve got yourself a proper burger that hits the spot every time. Then there’s the Sticky Toffee Pudding—easily one of the best I’ve had. Soft, rich sponge cake soaked in warm toffee sauce, with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream melting into it. Pure dessert heaven. With the new chef in charge, the whole menu has had a serious glow-up. Whether you’re after a proper meal or just some top-tier pub food, The Railway Pub is smashing it right now. Highly recommend checking it out!

Myself and a few family members came in for some dinner on Wednesday, safe to say we thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were lovely and welcoming throughout and were very attentive to our needs. The pub also had a nice atmosphere with some relaxed music in the background. The food was extremely tasty, with a number of us having burgers and a few having the Gammon. The drinks were also good quality from the staff behind the bar. Would definitely come again!

Had a great time, though the end of the night was a bit of a blur lol. We had a great catch up over some fantastic small plates they do and they had a great selection of drinks for my friends.

The Railway is now my local. I originally went there for drinks and enjoyed the environment so much I came back again for food with friends. The pub itself is beautiful, with a blend of modern features and the original authentic decor. The food was brilliant - really delicious, lots to choose from, and minimal wait. The staff have always been friendly and efficient. The manager is always there with a smile making sure everything runs smoothly. All in all I’ve always had a great experience and couldn’t recommend enough.

The railway is such a beautiful pub where me and my friends take our children for lunch on a weekly basis, they are always so welcoming and accommodating everytime we go! Going above and beyond for my son who has additional needs! Food is always amazing also!! Thank you for once again a lovely experience will be back next week

Love this pub, had a great night catching up with friends. Love that they have a good alcohol free range for my friend that doesn’t drink. The small plates weee amazing… my friends and I love picking on different food. We will definitely be back!! Team were lovely to.

Arrived at 7.30pm to be told the kitchen was closed. I asked if good could be brought in and was told yes by the manager. Eventually went and got food from outside the establishment and was grabbed by security. Security took me to said manager who lied and told me this was never said. Don’t trust this place. Embarrassing

Friendly pub with excellent food, especially the Chef’s special burgers. We ordered halloumi fries and chicken wings to begin, which were very tasty. Then we ordered the festive burger which was outstanding. Home made beef patty with Camembert, bacon, sage & onion aoli and cranberry & chilli jam. Outstanding flavours and the chef delivered our burgers to our table in person. Highly recommended and will definitely return

Lovely place inside here. We ordered 1 starter and 2 mains and i couldnt fault it. Unreal food and the chef even came out to ask if the foods okay for us! 10/10 honestly!

Not far from the railway station, with good food and friendly staff , it's a proper pub, near shops and an excellent cafe.

Went out with a few mates for my birthday and they booked to go to The Railway and I was very surprised!!! I showed up to meet friends and was given warm welcome and even said happy birthday to me (friends must have told them) they were amazing start to finish! Thank you team Railway for a great birthday! Food was banging had the burger of month and they have my favourite lager on draught Madrí!! Will definitely be back, I think I’ll take my Mrs out for a nice meal there. If you’re ever in the area I recommend popping in.

Modern Pub, Don't be fooled by its traditional name.

Enjoyed my visit. You should go there sometime

Another great visit at the Railway. Brought the family for a get together and we had a lovely time. We sat outside in the beer garden enjoying the sunshine. Service, food and drinks were amazing. Definitely be back again!!

Great Pub really friendly and efficient staff

A little confusing figuring out what to do. Went inside and asked about seating, a big place, how to order. Now I know, but a weird start. Had a burger with fries (chips). The fries were the best I ever had in my life!!!!!! I've eaten lots of fries. I could eat them every day with a beer. Now, writing this, I might have to walk up there today. Nice staff.

Great pub in town and enjoy coming here but the women’s toilets are becoming disgusting. They smell and a door wouldn’t close. It’s really letting down what is a great greene king pub. The outside seating area could do with some TLC too there were lots of full ashtrays and the floor needed a good sweep. Hate to be picky but it’s these things that put me off eating somewhere. Please sort the ladies toilets

Let's get straight to it, this is a Greene King operated pub a 'chain' if you like. However they've created an atmosphere and vibe here that almost mimics a traditional free house, with a local but welcoming vibe. Nice outside area, great selection of drinks and great staff. Ate last time, it wasn't groundbreaking but good value. Keep up the good work!

Great afternoon and evening at the Railway! Sun’s out and this makes for the perfect sun trap! Sharing plates were great! Definitely could’ve eaten them twice! Service with a smile as always! I love this place! Great local! And always bring friends who rave about it! It’s great recommending a place that delivers every time!

Amazing place with great vibes! Me and my friends came here for a drink and had the most amazing time! The staff were lovely and quick service! Definitely recommend! Lovely choice of drinks too!

Horrible people.Never again.Rude staff

Nice enough pub. Staff pleasant. Went there for a birthday party. Won't ever go again though as the company they use for parking management is awful. There is no option to pay by card or app it's cash only. By the time you get some cash you have a guaranteed a £100 parking ticket. Shame that they use this company as I'm sure they must lose a lot of business. If you are paying the charge by cash it is very expensive.

I've given The Railway four out of five stars, but only because I couldn't see a good selection of bitters and ales, though I found a pint of larger I liked and enjoyed this. A great looking pub - both inside and out, would imagine the atmosphere in here on a Friday night is really good. Would definitely visit this pub again and next time I'll try ordering something from the menu.

By station with AstroTurf by entrance and many TV screens. Not a place I wish to return to. Food ok but really felt like cheap refurb to me. Little natural light and not a pretty location with car park next door where contactless payments not working and many warning signs did not improve the atmosphere

What a lovely pub, I'm guessing when the suns out it must be absolutely packed, big outdoor seating area and a TV showing the match on outside aswell, could've stayed for the day.

Food and beer good but no food Mon or Tues lunchtimes, had to go elsewhere for work leaving "do".

Lovely dog friendly pub great dart board and 2 pool tables friendly staff with doggy treats

I booked a table for 10 on a Saturday night & instead of getting one table, we got two separate ones, bit of an inconvenience but I can live with that… no worries. I then went to order food, baring in mind half the menu is burgers, you would’ve thought that they had all the ingredients to make them.. no. They had no buns. When I asked the Blonde lady behind the bar what she could do about the issue, I received the dirtiest look & no bother to help resolve the problem. The young brunette girl behind the bar had the worst attitude problem. She was passing out evil looks to customers all evening, waving her arms about when there was a problem and clearly only wanted to serve regulars. The uniform there is disgraceful, I’d like to eat my burger (with no bun) without having to see cleavage in my face, if I wanted to see that sort of thing, I would’ve gone to hooters. A change of barmaids is needed immediately, apart from all the above, all good.

Amazing experience wonderful food 🥘

We didn't try the food, but the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were friendly.

Love this place staff so friendly and make you feel very welcome, the food well cooked and is of a good quality. The excellent prices make it even better.

Friday afternoon you wouldn’t expect too much atmosphere and we didn’t eat. But the pub and landlord are very welcoming, great friendly service

Lovely bar! Came here while in town protesting and they were all so lovely with all of us

Staff are very helpful and friendly

Very bad counter experience having to wait for more than half hour before heading off to another pub. People coming after were getting attended and served. Not professional.

Great pub great pint lovely staff even with a power cut . See you again !

Another fab night at the Railway, great vibe, great food and the staff are always great at remembering guests that have been in before, they remember your drink and are always really positive. First night in a while, but I’ll be back. It’s a great locals pub!

Amazing staff and exceptional food would highly recommend the hunters chicken I love the deals for the mains also worth it for less than £15

Busy, friendly bar staff and variety of beers on tap.

Fantastic evening spent with family at the pub whilst enjoying the burgess hill fireworks! What a treat! Great vibe, great food as always and great staff! Absolutely love it here! For all occasions.

I went to the railway for the first time in a while last night and was served by a really lovely barmaid called Natalie. She was really friendly, she took her time to explain the wine options to us and made us feel instantly welcome. The pub was busy and created a warm atmosphere. I will definitely be going back.

Me and my family came for a lovely lunch! Everyone was friendly that worked there.. abi was so lovely and helpful as my son is picky with food but she went out of her way to help. Love the decor of the pub also will definitely be coming back.

Great pub for watching live music.

We went there for lunch, it is very lovely pub. Staff very attentive and polite. We got our food pretty quickly. My chili pulled mushroom was very tasty. I totally recommend. My friend ordered fish and chips - it was a huge portion. If you’re really hungry that’s the one to pick. Another friend ordered some starters - he said that mini burgers were disgusting - so maybe avoid that one.

Popped in for a nice jug of pims 😋 Always great service with a smile. Outside space and music on Friday and Saturday nights. My local!

Nav vārdu super ,vissa tā atmosfěra lieliska ,müzika ,ědiens,siekalas tek,kad iedomājos lieliski.

I couldn’t be more happy with our dinner yesterday. The food came out very quickly and was delicious. A massive thank you to all the staff that were working yesterday, they were all so lovely!

We walk past this pub regularly and see the sign board advertising events and food as "All day food" so we thought one day to give it a try. The door was locked and when we went around to the courtyard area entrance we were basically shouted at by a member of staff from the inside saying that they are closed and only open at 12, the time was about 11:45. We felt quite offended how we were chased away that we felt that we had to share our experience. It is definitely not all day food as advertised. Looking at their website now after the day it says that opening times are from 11am and food is served from 12pm. These times don't quite make sense and they should clarify their times better. So if you do go, be sure to only arrive by 12 or risk being chased away. We visited on Saturday 12 August.

I love this pub! Staff are always so welcoming and friendly and the food is always super fast and delicious! The manager Steve is running a great ship and should be proud of the outcome guest receive! i will forever hype this pub up! ❤️

Love these characterfull Greene king pubs, lively pub and location, really pleasant and nice staff. Not tried food, outside area lovely.

Staff were un professional as they used Unacceptable language With Familiar customers wouldn't recommend this place as a family pub.

Nice to get some Beer and Drinks

Gezellige pub, ook geschikt om te eten met wat grotere groepen.

I was stood at the bar for about 10 minutes, the staff would completely ignore you and serve the people they knew instead, even if they had just walked up. Terrible service.

Lovely pub. Good atmosphere. Nice menu.

Love love love the railway. Food is good quality and reasonably priced. Staff were really helpful especially Shanon. Will be back again!

Arrived for a afternoon out . Decided to have a meal at the railway pub . Even though it was 12pm there was a few people about ,nice place for ordered arrived very fast . Looks good tastes good as well . Recommended

I’ve had a great couple of nights at the railway over the last few months on a Wednesday eve. Great mini plates and was really happy to win burn the bill on a recent visit. Great food and professional staff

We visited for food and drinks Friday afternoon. We received a warm welcome by Gavin when we arrived and he gave us an excellent service throughout our time at The Railway. We ordered three senior meals, which were hot, tasty and generous portions ~ great value for money. Gavin has a great sense of humour and makes his customers feel valued. We left with a smile and will be back soon.

Called to book a few tables for a work meeting and the guy I spoke to on the phone was so helpful at getting this sorted! Meeting went so well and the area that was designated to us was perfect for a quiet few drinks and bite to eat! Staff were patient with our big booking and the food and drink was lovely! Thankyou so much! We will be returning.

Best pub in east grinstead always good services. Great with kids and dogs . Lovely atmosphere would highly recommend and dj on a Friday is great ! . Also food is always on point worth a try 🫶

Amazing member off stuff and amazing range off food options and drinks , stuff always helpful when you ask them something

Second time really nice friendy place

Food was amazing! Quick service and staff were friendly. Will definitely be returning here again!!!!

Amazing Garden and the roast hit the spot! Came past with my partner and stopped to have something to eat. Got lucky with the weather so we sat outside and had a roast. Lovely environment and welcoming staff!! If you are in the area drop...

Came to the pub for drinks with some friends. Really good experience on a busy DJ night! The staff were really good too, even though it was very busy at the pub.

Really enjoyed my experience at the Railway! Popped up with some friends for a bite to eat and was not disappointed! Food came out really quickly and was delicious. The staff were really friendly too and always checked to see if we were doing ok!...

Came here after friends said this was the place to be for food and drinks so we ordered food and drinks food burnt (lasagna) yuck cheese and bacon burger bland wasn’t great but what topped it off was the lack of care the staff took...

Good pub, great for watching football, they have multiple screens and lots of space.

Loving the new dishes on the menu. Enjoyed the 3 small plates and a bottle of Prosecco for £25 on Friday night. What an amazing deal. The corn ribs are amazing. Definitely be back

A buzzing, lively, family friendly pub serving great food at reasonable prices. We have had several celebratory family gatherings here and have always enjoyed ourselves.

Had a lovely lunch, food was delicious and fresh, service was great, very cosy feel, would definitely recommend ⭐️

Always like coming in here for a beer.

Went for Mother’s Day lunch and the food was delicious also a big shout out to Gavin the barman he was very helpful and kind would defo recommend this pub for food lovely atmosphere

Me and my friends visited the railway pub in burgess hill for a drink and a spot of food, the waiter who dealt with our table Gavin was brilliant advising what was his favourite thing on the menu to help us pick something to eat...

Popular with the younger crowd,. Especially outside space....

A very nice place to chill and unwind!!

Excelente ambiente e decoração. Atendimento podia e devia ser mais simpático e prestável.

Very nice location. Good food, nice decorated

Inexperienced bar staff only serving friends

Relaxed atmosphere for a quiet drink.

We are a group of 6 who regularly eat and drink in the Railway. We do not usually leave reviews but thought tonight we should show our appreciation ! We are always made to feel very welcome and Jamie and crew always happily look after...

Love coming to The Railway for a couple of drinks and food, never disappoints! Always a lovely welcome as well

Favourite pub in town, the atmosphere is cosy, inside when it’s cold out with open fire place, comfy fabric chairs, rather than all clinical hard surfaces most places have changed to. There’s lots of seating indoor and out with shelter and heaters. Its lovely in the sun in the summer in the beer garden, It’s clean the staff are friendly and polite, the food and drinks are good and reasonably priced. The ladies toilets are stocked with female toiletries to use if you need to, which is really cute and thoughtful. The DJ on a Friday plays really good music & I always have a great time when I visit!

Had the most amazing Christmas party with my work mates. The tables was decorated amazing and the food was delicious and the service was five star. Looking forward to dancing the night away in 2023

Can’t fault anything staff are friendly and food is amazing they went above and beyond to help me thank you

Been in a few times with the family this month, for lunch, for dinner, for drinks, for football, Christmas quiz, DJ nights. It’s been quite the venue! Loved every experience, impressed at how one space seems to get it right every time. Great December at...

Nice beers burger was good, no table service but friendly server behind the bar.

The ladies toilets aren't fit for anything. Let alone a pub and definitely not one that serves food. Horror movie esk.

Our book club Christmas lunch there was a great success .The manager,Steve, and the staff could not have been more helpful . Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We all agreed that we would be back next year. THANK...

A smart looking pub with a great range of drinks on tap, two darts boards and a pool table towards the back of the pub.

If you want to watch sport and have a drink then this is the place for you
