The Railway in Crawley

Great place for a tasty reasonably priced lunch, a great variety of drinks, a lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff a must visit when in Crawley

Polite staff good beer garden and lots of TV to watch sports and plat pool. And good in evening for music. And food is really good and well priced

Decent food and amazing staff. Definitely worth stopping by for a pint and some snacks.

We have eaten lunch here on several occasions, it is always reliable, and while the menu is standard ‘pub grub’ everything we have had has always been great. There are also some good meal and drink combo deals which always go down well. The service has also been friendly and efficient, which is more than can be said of some places. All in all this place offers excellent value for money.

Not been, but would like a pint and adminre the new "The Cure" poster outside ... 16 years.

Visited The Railway in Crawley after the funeral of one of my cousins. It was a sad day, so we decided to have a few beers. Fairly busy for a midweek afternoon, but we managed to get a booth. The locals were friendly and the staff very good and very friendly. The place was clean as were the toilets. A nice pub.

I loved the visit. Shame a large portion of the menu was not available. The steak was well cooked and sides okay. It's just a shame that you could have doubled the meal for 3 pound extra had it not been you did not have the food in stock. So comprise all round. Poor chef so overworked and refused to make desert and our young daughter so disappointed. Please don't let this taint the view of the pkace. Just note we had a bad experience on the day and hope that poor chef is okay

So nice there, I had a great time and the staff were really friendly

Great people Great service and great food

Great pub to party or watch sports, good selection of food, staff are great!

Can’t believe they had hardly anything on their menu all run out!!!!also put their fosters up by 50p on a Sunday - WHY? I know theirs. Football game in but really disappointed in lack of food and price increase - not acceptable

Amazing staff, great vibe and a good selection of food and drink. I always feel welcome and at home in the Railway.

Great pub and staff are friendly and very professional

James was so nice to around pauter past 6 I asked him where the toilet was he pointed me to it later on I got a glass of water but I spilled it before I even asked for a new one he had already poured me another 10/10 service would come again going to recommend it

I have been here for the bottomless prosecco brunch twice and on both occasions we were looked after by a lady named Gillian. Her customer service is absolutely fantastic. She is friendly, attentive, professional and is the reason we came back for another prosecco brunch at the Railway! The prosecco was lovely and the food delicious, I had a chicken burger the first time we came for the brunch and on the second visit I had the all day breakfast, would highly recommend both!

We came here for the 1st time before we fly out tomorrow to Turkey. This is really a great place and my wife said she’d love it as our local! The staff are fantastically friendly and helpful. We will be back when we next go on holiday 👍🏻 I did tell the staff all was ok with our meals but in truth my steak was very tough and chewy and the marshmallows in the Loaded Sundae were very hard as if they’d come from the fridge but we were so impressed overall.

A really excellent experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming to us and to our small dog. The food was very well cooked and good value. We will definitely come again if we are in the area and will be recommending the "Railway" to our friends!

Such a great time. Watched the rugby with some great pints - loving the food - new menu - I’ll be back very soon for the euros

Very comfortable and clean out. Sports shown on there big screens. Wide choice of drinks and food. Very close to Crawley town centre and public transport..

Great value and good alcohol choices - plenty of proper beer and cider

Service was great, 2 cheerful ladies, but honestly speaking the food is as low end as you can get. I know it's cheap, but this was almost inedible. Sausage and mash was tasteless, poor quality meat, and dry bland mash. The buttermilk chicken was like cardboard. Again, I know it's cheap, but this wasnt worth it. Makes Spoons seem brilliant!

This place has a pool table and a lot of casino machines. Large options for the drink and food menu. They also have a meal set and a QR code for ordering from your table. I ordered a cider and an onion ring which came pretty fast and yummy. It was pretty busy and the place was quite hot inside. Our table has a screen where you can watch sports from your table.

Love The Railway, good beer, pub grub, good service and good offers.

Nice pub, no ecigs allowed, the pub expects you to ecig in the Smoking area. I don't think they realise they are expecting ex smokers to go into an environment of current smokers, such backward thinking.

Unpretentious pub serving decent food. Menu was Wetherspoons-esque with a range of pub classic options all priced to include a drink. Burgers were a good choice, a few more chips wouldn't have gone amiss. Ordering was via QR code and service speedy. Decor was a bit dated and with a vast number of TV screens showing sport it was a bit too noisy.

My favorite spot in Crawley! I am married to a vegan and their menu is fantastic for Vegan and non vegan alike, besides good food at reasonable prices the atmosphere is great and you get great service by wonderful people such as Gill and Ryan!

Great atmosphere. Very bright, clean and tidy. Great to watch football, and other sports which they show. Lovely to have social drink and food. Friendly staff.

Was in the area so popped into watch a football match with friends. Great chicken wings, great atmosphere, friendly staff

Great place to watch the live football while having a bar meal & a drink. Had a table with our own tv and enjoyed our meals which were excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and happy to find our football match request. Big thanks to Helen for a warm welcome 👍

Absolutely brilliant atmosphere. They go the extra mile to make sure the place is clean, tidy and friendly. All pricing for drinks and food is kept to Reasonable value.

We went for some light lunch football and a few beers, the lady behind the bar was really friendly, food came quickly and really tasty enjoyed our visit will definitely be returning one day soon :)

Went there for works Christmas drinks. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Had the pleasure to meet Jill and her team here while my husband fixed their lift. She is so warm and welcoming, and such a hard worker. Her staff is polite ans lovely, and so efficient. Jill makes everyone feel so welcome and I wish I lived closer to visit more regularly! Would love to try the food as the place smells incredible. Everyone here seems so happy and relaxed. 10/10 would def come back! 2-4-1 cocktails can't be beat! ♡

Ordered food on their app, they came over and apologised that they were too busy with an xmas group order to do it but gave me a refund and a free pint no questions asked, which is a nice gesture

Didn't have any food. Staff were very friendly. Prices are very good. Lots of tv screens to watch sports, would definitely go back.

If you want to see a melting pot of people here's the place to see it at lunchtime. From business men to local characters, dolly birds to mums with their babies and don't forget the local alcoholic looking for his next glass. Quite an enjoyable atmosphere and the ladies behind the bar are great with everyone. The kitchen pumps out reasonable food at not too expensive prices. Thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours with a beer or two watching the world go by here, entertainment at it's best.

What’s Crawley known for? Not much you say. Well! Believe it or not this is where the famous British rock band The Cure started their rise to fame. You’re asking for a classic British pub. Warm, Warm and Warm. Which means the hospitality is warm, the food is warm but most importantly the beers are warm (and flat) So far so good. Watch this space, been is more important than a review. Cheers!

Hi All great place to spend some time good selection of beers 🍻 Wine & cocktails 🍸 Staff are great to talk to. Food is superb and great vfm. My personal favourite staff are Nessa, G,H,Aiden and Max. Take a visit you'll enjoy the experience 😉 Cheers Dax 🍻

Omg what a great afternoon you had saved us a whole area for our work party, the staff where so lovely Vanessa has been amazing so friendly so accommodating and made our experience one to remember the cocktails and food were so good we will defo be back for more thank you again xxxx

We went in while walking into town, the atmosphere was fantastic, the food was good (I recommend the spicy chicken) and it was like how pubs used to be.

Nice pub cheap bar and good sport TV..

Watched some live sport. Really nice service and friendly staff. A good atmosphere 👌🏾 Will definitely be back

I have been coming here for yrs and I want a big shout out to Vanessa chandler as she is a great lady very friendly and is helping me to organise my work do at the pub many thanks

Great place yo watch sports eat and drink.

Had a few beers here. It's a pub which is good for watching sport. Always have a good variety of beers, food and the staff are friendly.

Awesome beer selection at a good price, friendly staff and a decent sized rear beer garden!

Best pub I ever been to. Had a day to waste at gatwick airport went here for fish and chips and a beer. Best decision I made The staff are amazing and food is great Next time I come from Canada to England I’ll be stopping in again

From London. In the area and popped in as lots of tvs for watching footie. They already have scored. Adrian and Shannon treated me like royalty. Well as Harry and Megan live in the USA and I'm from NYC it was ever so nice. I had a couple of special requests that Shannon made happen big time and Adian stopped by to check and I thought 'Am Am I in my London local?' I highly recommend the Railway. ...and the atmosphere is great!. Thumbs up to all.

Friendly bar staff, always up for a little chat with you. Food is great and always got whenever I order. Reasonably priced.

Excellent value for money, lots of TV screens. Quick service

Wow that Helen and the team really deliver great service with a great smile. Call head office and I suggest payroll ups their gain. The food is hot fresh and great value thanks Chef! Lovely local with a lovely mix of friendly punters and behind the bar peeps.

Went for lunch with family today and had limited expectations for a busy Saturday lunchtime but the service was warm and friendly, great deals on food and drink which came quickly and was made perfectly. Special thanks to PJ the chef for accommodating fussy eaters!

Fantastic service!! Atmosphere was great with boxing and cricket on. We sat outside as it was a nice day (to start with at least). Had a couple of drinks with food. I ordered the Chip Shop Platter. I don't alway order fish and chips as I can be fussy about the batter, but, I am so glad I did 😀. The fish was cooked to perfection and the battered sausage is fantastic. I was lucky enough to thank the chef, PJ, in person. One of the best meals out we have had in a while. I will definitely be back soon, probably with the lads to watch the start of the Premier League in a couple of week. Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon x

Nous sommes venus déjeuner au Railway en juillet, nous avons été très bien reçus par Helen et nous avons mangé quelques plats traditionnels de la cuisine de pub anglais: c’était très bon pour des prix défiants toute concurrence ! Nous recommandons !

Absolutely amazing staff and food was good

Love it at The Railway, great atmosphere and great staff, especially Helen!

Always have a good time here, especially when big Helen serving

Always a great time in the railway, Helen is always full of life behind the bar

I walked into the pub. Nobody else was waiting to be served and there were two bar staff behind the bar. They proceeded to ignore me without even an acknowledgement of my presence. How morons like this find work in the hospitality industry is beyond me. I just walked out and went to a proper pub.

Tonight is our 3rd night eating here, food is fantastic for the price, portion sizes are great, staff here have been absolutely amazing, service excellent.

Spent some time here as I was waiting for a flight. Had a lovely time thanks to bartender Helen!!! A gem - genuinely sweet and makes a killer drink.

Chef PJ was excellent! From the drinks to the food provided for our event, it was all outstanding. His professional manner was evident from the start, as he was very friendly and accommodating to each of our requests while still maintaining a quality of service that was second to none. His eye for presentation was remarkable as each dish that he created was perfectly plated and inviting. We received compliments for weeks after the event about how delicious the food was. Our guests felt as though they were dining at a five-star restaurant! The experience with Chef PJ was one that we won't soon forget and would recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch caterer. He truly helped make our event unforgettable!

I recently went to a restaurant that served sausage mash, and it was wonderful! The sausage was cooked perfectly and was full of flavour. The mash was light, fluffy and creamy - perfection! The combination of the two was amazing. The presentation was also great; the dish was served in a beautiful white ceramic bowl. The portions were generous and could easily be shared. I would definitely recommend this dish and will be ordering it again! Thankyou Chef PJ.

Had a great time when I went down! Ryan was great behind the bar and the venue has such a great vibe. Would highly recommend for an amazing night out!

Great atmosphere, great food, great prices and great staff! Especially Ryan he always goes out of his way to help! This is best place in town for watching sport, this place has 4 big screens and 8 smaller screens, you can even sit in a booth with its own screen! Table service is available at all times via the app so you don’t have to wait at the bar. Convenient location to town and the train station. They have just got a new pool table which will take card as well as cash and currently have free pool on a Monday evening!

I had lunch with some friends and drinks, the staff were very attentive mostly Ryan who was very accommodating, food was great and it was all round a lovely experience! Highly recommend especially if you can catch Ryan on shift!

What a nice play to be, not been there since the renovation and wow has it changed. Would love to come back a day they are showing sport, good food fairly cheap and Ryan is an asset to the team huge smiles and knew exactly what I wanted on my return to the bar.

Amazing. Ryan provided exceptional service to me and my friends who turned up after work for a few beverages. He made us feel welcome and checked up to see if we wanted anything else.

Ryan at the railway provides amazing service, always friendly when me and my friends visit, would recommend going :)

great venue. very reasonably priced and still great quality. bar staff were amazing especially ryan who served me quickly and with a smile!

Drinks are fair priced Ryan has always served me on the dot as soon as I walk in. The railway has always been my go to pub especially after djing there with my uncle.

Good place to go if you like sports. There are TV screens everywhere! Friendly staff and extensive choice of beers and lagers and good pub food.

My wife and I live over 4,000 miles away (Florida, USA) and ALWAYS stop here when in England! We visit Railway for the drinks/food- but stay for the atmosphere & AMAZING bar staff!! One of our favorite staff members, Ryan, is so personable- and has a gift for making the best drinks. He also is so easy to talk to and makes us feel welcomed like one of the locals- even though we live so far away. Can’t wait to visit here again!!

Ryan was amazing, friendly and polite and quick on his toes, said hello as soons as I got to the bar. Great service great food. Definitely making this my regular pub.

Helen is a great member of staff at the Railway, her customer service is second to none, always very friendly & welcoming ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…

Ryan was amazing, friendly and courteou and weird and awesome accepting of everyone no matter who they are this place is awesome

Great pub with air conditioning which is a bonus at mo😎👍 pop in after work now and then Helen is a funny hospitable bartender and always give a welcoming reception along with the others 👍👏🏻😎🍺

Ryan was an outstanding barman, top guy, top banter!!!

Great pub great atmosphere. Ryan was great

amazing staff behind the bar always serving me with a smile :) especially that gorgeous tall blonde man behind the bar!

Railway is my favorite bar when visiting the UK! Super convenient location- just a quick 5 minute train ride from Gatwick Airport. After a long flight from the States, it’s the perfect spot to grab a drink/bite to eat. Love the local/chill vibe here, and the bar staff is is 10/10- especially Ryan!! He makes the best cocktails, always has great drink/food recommendations, and is SO fun to talk to. Definitely recommend!!!

Popped in after work for a pint and was served by Bailey, poured me and my pals perfect pints and had some decent banter with us. Cheers mate.

Had an amazing experience thanks to Bailey, gave a huge helping hand.

Great pub, great atmosphere, Bailey and Aidan were particularly helpful.

Always a great experience here, Bailey is especially friendly and always makes me want too come back

I was served by a lovely Bailey ! So welcoming and a funny chap. Would 100% come back !!

Amazing pub, great atmosphere. Helen goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need

Been to this pub a few times now, Helen and Gill particularly friendly, courteous and professional.

Great pu. Especially Helen and Gill behind the bar

Love it here, all staff are amazing but Helen is the life and soul of the place! lovely grub too

What a wonderful place to visit. Very friendly and attentive staff, Jill in particular is always bubbly, chatty and attentive. The food is always hot and served in a timely manner and the atmosphere is always happy. Well worth a visit.

On my travels went to the railway, fabulous pub. Food was great, good atmosphere and Shanon was super welcoming and helpful

Excellent friendly pub with a great atmosphere and excellent staff. Shanon was particularly helpful and welcoming.

Great atmosphere, great deals, Shanon was lovely!!

Love Railway! It’s our favourite pub, food and drinks are always good and the staff are lovely. Shannon in particular is always super accommodating and always brings good vibes!

Lovely place - cheap and cheerful

Best pub in Crawley, great sports viewpoints, cheaper drinks in Crawley which is surprising when it’s the best pub in Crawley. £1.50 table though

By far some of the best 'budget' food I have tasted. 2 meals and 2 drinks (included in meal) came to just over £20. The atmosphere is always very good and the staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly and willing to assist any way that they can. We will 100% be going back.

We live in Crawley and regularly eat in town. We have not used The Railway for some time due to bad experiences in the past. On the recommendation of friends, we thought we would revisit, and we were most impressed! It is certainly the friendliest pub in town. Although we were not know anyone there, we were welcomed, served efficiently and thanked as we left. I am a real ale fan and was pleased to see a reasonable selection of fine beers at a good price. My Harvey's was in perfect condition. We both ate, having lasagne and chicken pie. The food is served as a meal deal, so both meals and pints were less than £10.00 per person. We will both be back soon, and recommend that you join us!

Perfect place for watching a match
