The Railway Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Only thing is I don't like drinking from plastic .

Busy, but managed to fit us in with a same-day reservation. Nice interior, great food and the service was fine, including regular updates on when we could sit down as the previous guests hadn't left yet - I take that to mean they were very happy with their visit as well!

Lovely pub. Good home cooked food. Great range of beers.

Good pub food and a friendly landlord, also dog 🐕 friendly

Lovely pub and beer garden .. cracking pint of cider....barmaid and other customers were lovely. Dog friendly. Will be going back again.

Came across this place while exploring stopped for a light lunch .The service and the food was above expecteations it was delicious. We would have liked to return but time did not allow but look forward to going back when time allows

If I could rate a 0 I would!!!!!! The pair of them are nothing but nasty drunks!!! Talk to children like rubbish! If I could use the other word I would. I do NOT know what the heavens they are doing working in hospitality!! They most horrible experience of my life. GET RID OF THEM NOW!

Alright bar, good beers and good place for sports. 12 of us in however for girlfriends birthday, spent over 300 quid between us, but got told we couldn't eat a steak pasty because they serve food, we were sat out the back aswell. Shame as was a canny bar

Popped in after walking to St Agnes Head. Lovely bar. Owner super friendly. Food was canny. Bit overpriced but hey isn't everything! Would defo come back if in area.

Called in for a quick drink, made very welcome as we sampled some local ale. Was just having the one but was too good so had a few more....we were walking! We didn't eat on this visit but the food smelled good and those who were eating all seemed very happy. There was a bit of a lunchtime rush and for me it's a good sign when it's explained there could be a wait for food as that generally means it's cooked to order and not mass produced. If in the area again would definitely pop in for a drink and some food.

Great food, great service, wonderful friendly family atmosphere.

A stunning, classic, traditional looking pub. Clean, cosy and welcoming. My family ate here, with excellent prices, delicious food and a great selection of on tap ales. Dogs welcome too. Couldn’t recommend anymore.

Haven't eaten there yet,so can't rate food, but if it's as good as service and atmosphere it would just make it an even better great British pub.

Had beer battered fish and chips Where was the fish but if fish did have was dry

Went yesterday and had lovely mozzarella sticks, calamari and chips for a tasty, light snack. Really pleasant beer garden surroundings where you can sit and relax👍

Good food, great service, we will be back! ☺️

Linguine was simply over boiled with tomato sauce and cheese chucked on top. Steak was rubber cold and over cooked. Peas unpleasant and chips were just about ok…drinks were not cold. Unpleasant all round.

Great little real pub, good selection of beers and cider, Snacks too! Not eaten here recently but menu looks interesting and well priced. Sheltered outside area with big screen and beer garden Very nice staff too!

The landlady is a drunken slob, who is rude to people she screamed at children and made a fool out of herself. Avoid this pub, there are plenty friendly places to have a drink.

Outstanding pub and people. Looked after my wide and I while we had broke down. Made us feel very welcome.

We walked into the pub to watch the football last night to be greeted by a lady with a note book telling us we had to go out side as all tables where booked in a very abrupt and rude manner As the evening went on the land lady became more and more drunk , being rude to customers and ending up having a go at a group of children who was sat the floor watching the football , which then ended up in a full on horrible argument between the drunken land lady and customers, then shortly after the police was called . To me this is disgusting behaviour from a landlady and we shall not be going back or recommending this pub while she still has something to do with it .

Great place for us to watch England in the euros final . Plenty of TV's 📺 for sports events.

Very good the older was very helpful and polite

Old fashioned pub with good food and great service. They even had vegan options on the menu, which we tried and tasted great. Proper local pub 👍

I could not believe how unwelcome we were made to feel. I am local to the area and took my visiting German friends and all of our 3 young children with us for a drink around 4pm, and I could not believe how rude the staff were to both them and myself. No reply to my friend when she greeted them, just odd looks. They made us feel very uncomfortable and it ruined our afternoon - after we had just walked in, my son (age 2!) was rudely told off straight away for touching the arcade machine (which is always attractive with bright colours and buttons). After a few minutes they continued to tell the children off - next it was because they wanted to touch the balloons (again, kids are always attracted to balloons) It made us feel very on edge, I even visibly saw the male behind the bar shaking his head when my son wanted to look at the chicken on the bar! DON’T take your family here, I will NEVER be going back again and I will be sure to tell all my local friends this as well.

Best fish and chips by far- very friendly landlord- chilled and relaxing

The best fish & chips we’ve ever had..the fish was so fresh..100% recommend a visit 👍🏻 very helpful and friendly staff.

My self and my friends could not get food cuz apparently food stopped at 4 , the landlady was drunk and obnoxious to customers and last orders were called at 9 half way though the euros game and was turned off half way though the second half . Plus the music being on durning an England game seemed silly as you couldn’t hear the game .

Recent visit to St Agnus fir the weekend and xane across the Railway Inn. Firstly the landlord and landlady (Dave & Nikki) were warm hosts. Good cask ales, amazing beer garden. Great range of food on offer which is well worth a visit. An interesting place.... a very old Inn. Which was occupied by alot of locals which are all friendly obviously a knock on effect from the hosts. Live music was on 2 of the nights we were there. A good little hun of varied activities. A great place to pass the time of day! We will definitely be back!

Great local pub with a great atmosphere would highly recommend

Friendly people and lovely food. Well worth a visit when you come to St Agnes

A nice friendly pub with good selection of ales and outdoor space!!

Never fail to have a great meal and good time at the Railway, staff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recomended.

Avoid too much swearing at the bar overpriced beer 🍺. Landlord knows nothing about the product he sells

Brilliant atmosphere and great food

See photo of my nachos. Terrible. Not hot cheese . Weirdly had a thousand island dressing on it ? No not my idea of nachos. Complained but apparently that's how they always serve it.

Popped in as we were passing. Great traditional pub with a really friendly atmosphere. Landlord is a great character

Excellent vegan food. Great service and nice atmosphere. Thanks very much 👍

Amazing- we had a lovely meal at the Railway, friendly staff greeted us and we were seated and served straight away. We had the gammon and fish and chips, both cooked to perfection, good sized potions and excellent value for money. Friendly pub great atmosphere definitely will be back.

The fish had very little fish in it, it was ALL batter - awful

Very warm and friendly staff, loads of ales and beers on tap, nice little local pub and would recommend a visit if in the area. Went an had a few pints on a couple of occasions and always felt welcome. Only ate one evening but steak chips and trimmings was lovely.

Great place! Thoroughly recommend

Loved it, lovely to have soft grass carpets for the dogs outside. Great lunchtime manu

Amazing service and food (awesome burger and wings), the place is full of antiques, and lovely historic photos.

Visited while on holiday with the family. It’s a good no nonsense traditional pub, friendly welcome, lots of beers to choose from. The food is typical pub fare, just be sure to know the kitchen opening hours,as they shut quite early and they like you to book.

Good food and service. Nice place to eat, you can also sit outside. Parking place available also near public parking.

Lovely little place, tasty traditional pub grub. Friendly and accommodating staff. fab place for a family meal, proper pub vibes if we didn’t have the kids with us (who where made to feel very welcome) it’s definitely somewhere we’d come for a few drinks

So atmospheric. So cozy. English at its best

Lovely bar , great service and food

Really nice pub, with great food and friendly staff. Came for a nice evening g meal, I can recommend the Chicken Platter, it was delicious. They are also dog friendly, which was a bonus for us. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Our favourite pub when we visit St.Agnes, which is about six times a year. The pub has a real local, unpretentious feel and has many nooks and crannies inside not visible from outside. Really nice sun terrace outside to enjoy a pint on a warm day. The owner is always accomodating when we want to watch a football match on the screens both inside and outside. Not tried the food but the menu looks fine. Well worth a look if you are in the area.

Decent place for a beer and a nice bit of lunch. Stopped off for lunch on the way down to the beach. Lovely staff and a nice location

Fantastic meal, wonderful staff and service, an all round perfect experience. Would highly recommend to anyone. A+++

my time at the railway was very disappointing if i’m honest, the food is just microwaved and nothing special but on top of that a one or the owners/staff members is just rude. He made our time there very uncomfortable and he told one of my friends to f*** off after just ordering a coke instead of a pint as they don’t drink.on another occasion he kicked my friend out for having a water bottle on him. they really need to sort there attitude out because it isn’t ok especially when your work is in hospitality- i think you should how to be a better person.

Lovely meal and great atmosphere. Excellent service

We came last year and have returned again this year. Great atmosphere, very friendly, warm welcome from management. A locals pub which also gives visitors a warm welcome. We enjoyed the music being played in background, kind of rock/ bluesy. We both had one the vegetarian options, the Mediterranean vegetable tagliatelle; it was delicious. It’s definitely a dog friendly pub.

Very friendly Owner/staff and friendly atmosphere, Stock a great selection of drinks/spirits, Food was lovely and service was great.

Just had lunch in the pub. Thought it would be good but most disappointed. Roast potatoes I'm sure were from frozen. Meat was dry and over done. Asked for more gravy even though it wasn't home made gravy and was told it would come but never. Definitely won't come again.

Good beer selection, nice atmosphere, good food and played all the football!

We had a wonderful meal, excellent value, cocktails on offer, pins colada really good highly recommend. We also stayed overnight in our camper van (no charge just use the pub) so no worries about drink driving. Will be back!!!!!

We stopped in for a little lunch and was really impressed. Really good service in this pub and the food was very tasty. We took advantage of the lunch special where you get a drink for an extra pound . Will be back when in the area again.

Popped into this lovely pub whilst working in the area for lunch. Was welcomed warmly with a smile! Ate from the lunch menu which had a good selection and as a bonus a pint was included with my meal for only £1 extra! Food was beautiful and service to match.

Visited twice in two days... on second visit, had a lovely light lunch of Southern fried chicken wrap and chips, alongside a pint and a J2o... delicious 😋..... Great friendly staff and good atmosphere.... Staff helpful and knowledgeable on what's available in the area.... Beer and food good...

Food is amazing really recommend. chicken and bacon salad with mozzarella sticks,bbq chicken wings was wonderful and calamari was the best I have ever had.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. Excellent portions at very reasonable prices.

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Also a bonus that the pub is dog friendly with treats at the bar.

Lovely, friendly pub. Had the fish and chips which was delicious and love the atmosphere in there with the fire on.

Perfect pint of Verdant Lightbulb with many more beers on tap too, great lunch with soup and sourdough at a decent price and as always a great host.

A locals' pub. Relaxed & friendly. Good selection of food on menu. Average portion sizes. Fresh vegetables would have been very welcome - more of them.

We were blessed to stumble upon the railway inn after searching the village for a place serving food at 4pm. The owners of the pub were incredibly lovely and the friendliest people. I can honestly say the food was INCREDIBLE. Some of the best pub grub I’ve ever had! I highly highly recommend this place and if we find ourselves down this stretch of the country, we will be back for sure!

Best scampi I've had and great pud

Amazing landlord and atmosphere excellent service and beer

We went to The Railway Inn St Agnes for lunch today and how lovely it was. The food was great (Roast beef was amazing!) Friendly Staff and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend and shall be eating there again soon. Well done The Railway Inn!

We stayed at St Agnes for 2 nights, on the first evening had dinner with their 2 courses for £12.95 menu, my husband had steak and I had Hunters chicken, and it was beautifully cooked, and excellent value! We went back the next evening to eat too, and were not dissapointed. The staff were very welcoming, there was a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Stayed during our stay in Sant. Agnes ate here twice and it was just great.

Nice pub with plenty of beer options and ample seating

Amazing pub, great staff, great environment Great location Reasonable priced drinks Great drink selection

I have visited St Agnes three times in the last year and The Railway is one of the main reasons my breaks there are so great. I hate plastic pubs (the sort we know from all towns). As soon as I leave the coach after 9 hours I make sure I get there for a great well kept pint or three. The landlord and staff are great and from the off I knew I was in a true local pub - where every one seemed to just relax and have a good time. I went at Halloween and the boss and the team had a great party for the kids and the place was decorated in fun. There is good live music - although i haven't eaten the food it looks really good (my hotel has a meal package) - but the beer and the whole experience is one that I really recommend..... After a check it IS the best pub in St Agnes - please try it.

Great pub for good food, drinks and parking was a bonus, will be visiting again when next in the area.

We visited The Railway on several occasions during our stay in St Agnes. The food is excellent and extremely good value for money. A truly traditional village local with a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. I wish we had a local like this back home! We are coming back to St Agnes next year and will most certainly be eating here multiple times. Although we are not big drinkers, the food is more than a good reason, not to mention a great the hospitality and theme evenings

We arrived to find the pub empty due to the ongoing road resurfacing outside! But we were welcomed by the cheery lady behind the bar, the lunch time menu was fairly small but we both opted for the fish, chips & peas they came fairly quickly are were absolutely delicious, lovely fresh fish in a light crispy batter, my only complaint was there could have been a few more chips! , but having said that we would return.

Lovely pub, great staff and atmosphere. Locals playing ELO in the beer garden was a plus, then bingo at the night!!!

Visited the Railway Inn for food recently and will not be going back. Myself and a friend got there early afternoon and had a look at the very uninspiring menu. I am a vegetarian and the lack of options was disappointing but I chose the plant based burger and my friend ordered a beef burger. The person behind the bar (young guy) turned around to tell a woman (bluey hair, wearing a formula 1 T-shirt) that there was a food order, she shrugged it off and carried on watching the formula 1…I was shocked. When the food eventually came out we were both confused about how small the portions were and found the food very bland and average. The only positive experience was another guy who was behind the bar at one point who actually spoke to us and one other person in the pub (nobody had made conversation with us before this) however when he was talking, the woman with the bluey hair (who was now drinking a pint which isn’t professional in my opinion if she is responsible for cooking) shouted at him for standing around chatting. Oh and to top it off my friend had a dodgy stomach the next day. If you like being ignored, made to feel in the way and enjoy less than average overpriced food then this is the place for you!

Arrived early evening (5pm) on the first night of our holiday looking for food only to be greeted by staff who seemed very put out that we hadn't booked in advance. We were told it was curry night and we shouldn't have looked on the website for their menu because they don't serve everything on that menu. They only have a tiny kitchen and can't provide a full menu. Just felt like we were a complete inconvenience to them, so we left. Would recommend booking if you want a friendlier experience!

Even though I phoned after booking via Open Table (the booking system on the pub's website) to confirm (after seeing other comments on here about there being no record of bookings) & spoke to a lady who confirmed the booking, when we arrived they had no record of our booking in their diary. They also told us the kitchen was out of action & that if we were in their diary they would have phoned us. Luckily we found somewhere else that could accommodate us.

Popped in for a pint with my girlfriend, staff very friendly and good pints

We decided to visit this pub for some tea as it was local to where was staying . But unfortunately we won't recommend this establishment . We asked about the Gammon and the egg as I wanted a poached but the response we got is...

Arrived at pub around 6ish. Found a table....beer very reasonable price..bar staff very helpful/accommodating..... asked for menu ...was informed was curry night but running 4 specials!! Ordered chicken Tikka /rice /poppadom side order skin on chips £15.20....for an establishment to have a themed night with...

We were recommended this place to watch the England WWC game today, as we came in we got a stare down from one of the workers behind the bar. We asked if they could put on the game we wanted to watch. For context, there were about 4-6 other people in at the time, in one of the rooms watching their own game, another 4 tvs turned off not in use. They said it might not be possible. When we said it was just on ITV, one of the workers behind the bar said they might be able to do something while asking their co-worker, who made it seem like a bother saying he waiting for his game to start... felt unwelcoming and like we were bothering them

Dog friendly with fantastic food and drink. Really friendly staff and great atmosphere. The only downer of the night was when the angry blonde lady came out the kitchen to shout at the bar staff on many occasion to complain about little stupid things even...

Not child friendly!!!! Staff were quite rude and not particularly accommodating of children. Adult lunch menu portions are exceptionally small, more like a child’s lunch. Chicken wrap - came as two tiny tortilla wraps (7-8cm in diameter), handful of chicken and some sauce. Wraps are too small to wrap anything. Came with all of ten chips. Hugely disappointing, very expensive for what it was and my children (10 and 6) were both still starving hungry. So it didn’t even function as a child’s portion. Wouldn’t go again.

Went in twice on separate days, and were told they were only doing booked tables, when there was virtually no customers.

Dog friendy, people friendly, right in middle of village by the bus stop. The beer garden is a great place to relax. Visited with my sister who has lived nearby for 10 years and had never been in. Think she'll be back - food was...

We were staying locally for a week and as we often do have a pick at a local pub and go there for food. We really enjoyed this one. Lovely food, people and general atmosphere. Would return and advise anyone staying in st agnes to...

My wife and I called in on the off chance we could get a lunch at zero notice. We were instantly made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the guy running the show single handed apart from a chef. The food...

Lovely food and very friendly service. Came to watch the footy, had a great curry with some good ale. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food and staff. A great curry combined with some good ale. Had a great time, would highly recommend.

Cheerful friendly place on the main street near to Aggie's main car park. Uncrowded interior and looked to be a decent sized garden area too. Despite being a Bank Holiday. Good beer choice-some of the best in the village. We were really after a Ploughman's...

We thought we would head to The Railway for our family dinner after being told there was going to be a children magician on. Looking at the menu I ordered the lasagna which sounded lovely. It wasn’t in the slightest. At a cost of £13.95!!!...

Great pub, excellent service very happy and friendly staff and management, visit regularly and always enjoy it. Good entertainment throughout the week.
