Had an awesome roast dinner here today. Sharing platter which easily fed 2 adults and 2 children (with leftovers for two hungry and knackered dogs!) The meats were cooked to perfection and the veg was packed with flavour. Lovely presentation. Will definitely be back.

Want to say a big thank you to billy and Claudia for helping with our order tonight! The website allowed me to order a delivery when the delivery driver had finished for the day, so they refunded us with the Delivery charge that I paid and a slice cake! Food was absolutely banging and will defiantly be ordering again! Thanks again to the team!

In the illustrious annals of culinary calamity, there are few experiences as utterly dismal as my recent visit to The Railway. Ah, The Railway—a name that conjures visions of rustic charm and hearty fare. Alas, what I encountered was a dining disaster so profound it would make even the most hardened food critic weep in despair. I ordered the so-called 'All Day Breakfast,' a dish which, in its very essence, should be a celebration of simple pleasures. But instead, I was presented with a plate that was less a meal and more a collection of culinary crimes. The sausages, if one could call them that, were abominations—cheap, flavourless tubes of grease that left an aftertaste so vile, I can only imagine they were the product of some nefarious bargain with the lowest bidder. The bacon, which should have been a crispy, salty delight, was akin to gnawing on a piece of charred rock, a challenge more suited to a dental endurance test than to any plate. The tater tots were not the golden, crispy morsels of comfort one expects but rather greasy, soggy sponges that seemed to ooze disappointment with every bite. The eggs, an element so fundamental to any breakfast, were overcooked to the point of becoming rubbery caricatures of their former selves. And the pièce de résistance—this wretched feast didn’t even fit on the plate properly, a slapdash presentation that screamed of carelessness. But, as I contemplated the tragedy that was my meal, I glanced across the table at my partner’s 'Hunter’s Chicken,' a dish that promised the comforting embrace of BBQ sauce, cheese, and tender chicken. How naive we were. The sauce was an unholy concoction, neither tangy nor sweet, but instead a bizarre, off-putting slop that masked whatever sins the cheese and chicken had already committed. The chicken itself—oh, the chicken—was a grotesque parody of what poultry should be, tasting so foul that one wonders if it had ever known the light of day before finding itself on our plates. It is said that one bad meal can spoil an entire dining establishment, and I fear The Railway has managed to ruin any chance of redemption. A kitchen that fails so profoundly on every level deserves not the patronage of discerning diners but rather the cold, harsh light of critical scrutiny. Needless to say, The Railway has derailed itself, and I shall not be returning to witness any further culinary train wrecks.

Decent little place - proper locals pub! Cheap beer and staff were lovely. Once grievance was that it did feel like a local and thus the crowd didn't seem too pleased we popped in for a drink.

If I could leave no stars I would. Walking past this establishment a comment was made that we did not like it. The landlord happened to be outside - he called us all a bunch of c**ts - completely unnecessary and incredibly offensive.

The Railway has been closed for a while and has now reopened after some refurbishment and now offers a carvery menu. We tried this new menu today and the roast beef and pork lunches were very tasty. It’s standard pub carvery with no pretensions and everyone seemed to be enjoying their lunch this Sunday. We look forward to our next visit.

My pub research before coming to Oakham suggested that the pub had three real ales on tap - but only London Pride was available - a poor result after searching the place out. Also, a local got served before me - an outsider - when I was due to be served... I don't like that kind of bar-keeping.

The railway is an excellent venue for sports and my friend and I have visited on numerous occasions to take advantage of their live football.My friend and I like real ale and the railway normally served a very good pint so we visited to watch the England v Malta match.Horror...... the pub had run out of beer. This was noticeable as the pub was empty. Normally on a England football match the place is packed.We turned around and walked out. Very disappointing. This is normally a good pub with good staff

Los pubs están sobre los clientes, pero aquí, no todos los clientes. Situado junto a la estación, que esperas una cálida bienvenida de los lugareños, desgraciadamente no. Habiendo despreciado la cómodas sillas en la tienda de grano para apoyar un pub más tradicional, enseguida nos dimos cuenta de nuestro error. Me gusta, pero viendo una avalancha de rugby con el sonido de la banda sonora de baile sucio sólo mata para mí. Si no quieres que los clientes vengan y ver rugby, no lo demuestran. Si desea que 'gente' escuchar música, eso está bien también. Si quieres tanto sin embargo, creo que a través de cómo hacerlo correctamente. Buena cerveza, miserable, horrible experiencia, servicio no regresaré. #busypubssurvive.

Fui aquí anoche y el pub es un pintoresco lugar muy bonito en Ockham. Estaba muy tranquilo por la noche del sábado, pero me imagino que Ockham no es exactamente una ciudad de fiesta. Sofás son preciosas y muy cómodas. A veces también hay música en vivo. También hay lugares para sentarse afuera en el verano.

No tuvimos un comienzo excelente cuando llegamos, ya que el pub había acabado de cervezas, simplemente! Esto era lamentable porque llevábamos una cierta distancia para ver una banda que era más adelante y queríamos algo de comida.la dejamos y nos fuimos por la carretera a otro pub, volver más tarde. Esta vez opté por la botella pasada de portero en la nevera. El personal buscó más, pero no sirvió para nada. El encargado nos salvó el día salir a comprar algunas botellas adecuadas de cerveza!Claramente un par de pequeños problemas, pero cualquier pub que se pone música, se esfuerza mucho y tiene un buen personal merece hacer bien. Buena suerte. la estación de tren.

Every time we visit Oakham, it's a tradition to visit the The Railway hosted by Trevor. Good food at reasonable prices and great conversation. Shame he is considering retiring. The mixed grill or the sirloin steaks are recommended. See you there.

Visited on a trip to Oakham. It's Caffe Nero so you know what to expect but it's cosy with nice coffee. Only downside for me is that it seems to be one of the branches that allow dogs. And there were quite a lot squealing and clip clopping around on the wooden floors. Price you pay for being deep in the country I guess.

Using rooms rating instead for the food rating , as it was amazing. Started out with a 3 for £15 nibbles board between three of us, which was just the right amount for the wait until mains. Once they arrived, I was greeted by the best fish and chips I've had in my life, with amazing tartare sauce and the mushy peas were beautiful. Will be coming again for certain! The only negative I can think of was the service was slightly on the slower side, but still very professional and well done! Thank you for a wonderful evening! Edit: Been back twice since the reopening, and both times had amazing food and atmosphere!

The Wheatsheaf in Oakham is a traditional pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dan and his team always go the extra mile to make you feel at home. They have a great selection of real ales, including guest ales that change regularly, as well as a menu of fresh, home-cooked food. Whether you're stopping by for a pint or a bite to eat, The Wheatsheaf is a great choice.
