The Railway Inn in North Somerset

We had the gammon which was excellent and chicken dish (not mentioned on menu but were two legs) with simple mash and red cabbage each £19. A limited menu that was priced on the high side, especially so when a further 10% service charge is added, and without sauces or cream to compliment each dish! Two coffee and tarts, no cream at £8.50 each and four half ciders each £2.40, one of which was incorrectly listed and priced on the bill. The "optional" 10% service charge stated on the menu was in fact obligatory when the bill was requested as no one asked if it was okay. All drinks were purchased from the bar. So £71.06 all up. You get mineral water thrown in but of course a £6.50 service charge would have covered two more half ciders. Good ambience and decor for old and new interiors. Nice music very early evening which was drowned out as more Saturday night diners arrived in the restaurant. Ales are in short supply for what after all is a Thatchers' emporium. Don't expect any frills with food. Ample car parking. The bar staff were rather glum. A total of under £60 would reflect today's pub prices.

Visited the Railway Inn after the Thatchers tour. The restaurant was stunning inside. The drinks were excellent quality and the mains were good. We were, however, let down by the long wait for food and slow service (it would've been nice to have just one person serving us instead of 4/5). The desserts were also a let down and not worth the money paid (£8 for 4 not great petite fours was overpriced). That said, they had people waiting for tables so it will never be a problem. Think we would return for drinks as it would be nice to sit in the garden in the summer with a nice refreshing glass of cider.

Visited on recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. The ambiance is great, we sat near a log burner so it was lovely and comfortable. The staff were really friendly, great fun and very chatty. The food was good, portions and price wise, we were very happy. We also tried several different drinks. An all round very pleasant evening and would love to return.

Really done nicely. Prices are very good for a pint and the service was excellent

Our local has left us les than impressed. I called ahead (4 attempts to get through to someone) to at we were running late due to late flight arrival. Was told they could only accommodate for a 10 minute delay as fully booked…that’s all we were: We arrived 10 minutes after our booked time. 1. We had to call someone over to order drinks. 2. We had to ask to order food. 3. No tables around us were used whilst we were there (? fully booked)! 4. We had to ask for dessert menu 5. We all would have ordered dessert had someone come back to take our order. 6. Above issues Discussed with manager; kindly agreed to reduce tab by 10% & would also remove (discretionary) service charge. 7. Bill presented by manager that contained items not consumed by us; revised bill requested. 8. Deputy manager apologised & offered to remove DISCRETIONARY service charge 🙄 The food is let down by the poor service. Best part of £200 spent at our local & unfortunately were left disappointed despite talking face to face with management. Altitude & demeanour of staff really not great. Unsurprisingly no service charge was left (which is VERY unlike us)!

Such a lovely place to be especially on sunny days that we are having this weekend. Huge variety of cider that you won’t find anywhere else neither on a tap nor in retail. It is one of the most beautiful establishments in North Somerset for sure 👌

A good place for drinks. Staff are friendly. Food is OK but overpriced for the average quality in my opinion. Service is amiable with a 10% service fee added to the bill as a "suggestion". We'll stick to just drinks in the future. The pub and pub menu are worth going for.

Stop serving food at 6 on a Sunday? What dark age nonsense is this

Beer offering improved, pub raising its game. Getting much better. See

Came for 60th birthday meal with my partner. Had to send my monkfish dish back because it was raw inside and on luke warm sauce. Waited for it to be replaced, then my side of greens was cold, and my partners meal was cold because he didn't want to eat while I had nothing. Replacement meal came with watery sauce and no lentils. £25 For the main course I expected better! Really spoilt what should have been a special evening. They charged us half price for my main course as an apology.

We had an absolutely delicious meal here. Food was really special. Great service and good pricing. Not just another food pub. It was really high quality. Service was excellent. Really highly recommended.

Visited Friday afternoon following a tour of Thatchers. Food portions very small for the price 😋

Had a diabolical meal here. I was really looking forward to the fillet steak with potato and cheese gratin, with a side order of thick-cut chips and onions in balsamic vinegar, whilst my wife ordered the Lamb and beetroot, with chipped potatoes in skins. It took over an hour for our meals to arrive, and when it did, what a disappointment! My side order of chips was cold, it looked like the fillet steak had been left on the side for the hour we had waited. There was no steak knife, and I had to ask for that, but to be fair, a pneumatic drill might have been more appropriate. Although I asked for medium-rare, it was that tough and stringy and the onions more suited to lead pellets, it put me right off my appetite. Will certainly not be visiting this restaurant again in a hurry! The only saving grace was the tasty Thatcher's Dry Cider.

Beautiful place with great atmosphere. Dozens on Thatchers to try and amazing food

We were doing the tour. We planned a meal and a few drinks after. The open planned pub is stunning and the atmosphere is lovely. Staff know their stuff with all ciders and other drinks. Food is a reasonable price for what a great plate of food you get.

The food is very good, and portions are large. This is a great place for a wide selection of quality ciders, including some you will not find anywhere else, since this is part of Thatcher's property. Service is excellent and the place itself is charming and well maintained.

A beautifully clean, well stocked, spacious & comfortable Inn serving plentiful food

An excellent lunch after a cider tour at Thatchers. Very attentive staff, excellent food and a lovely setting. Menu catered for everyone. Could not manage a dessert but they did look delicious.

Absolutely an amazing day and a dinner, great service. Food was mind blowing paired with ciders. Never tasted or heard of some of them make sure you get a taxi

Lovely meal. I had the steak and Stilton pie and it was lovely. They are very big portions.

Well worth a visit great service and hospitality

Nice pub a bit packed when we went but credit the service was grand...Will be going again

Fantastic service. Looked after most attentively by Keeley. Beautiful surroundings and the food was delicious!

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere! The food we had was amazing and felt like excellent value for money. Admittedly limited vegetarian options, but the falafel burger was delicious and I would highly recommend it. The staff were all friendly, attentive, and had plenty of time to chat and recommend ciders and food. Highly recommended a visit.

Lovely place, great selection of Thatchers and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Went to celebrate birthday, had to wait a hour for food to come out.when it did come out the food was cold. Not impressed as it didn’t seem to be that busy, would not rush to go back there.

I wanted to change something on the menu and there was no hesitation to meet my requirements. I was absolutely fine to choose something else if they could not. But wanted to mozzarella sticks in a burger and not felafel. Service was outstanding, quick, polite and friendly. Food quality was excellent and the pub itself is clean, well organised and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Very reasonably priced. Ploughmans was huge and kids portions available for everything. Huge garden. Very relaxed and an amazing selection of ciders

If you like Thatchers and/or cider this place is an absolute treat!! Really nice decor, up market but friendly and all the staff were really welcoming. Food was amazing and worth the prices. We will be back!

We booked for 5pm when service was just starting. The pub and restaurant is beautiful in decor. The staff were attentive. The range of Thatchers ciders is amazing!! We came for our last night holiday meal and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing. The only disappointment was that they don't do a child's burger which is what my daughter wanted. Hey ho, she had the adult one instead 😂 We will definitely be back next year and every year from now on!! What a gem!!

We’re local so come here a lot. Great food, top cider. We keep coming back!! Great in the summer outside, cosy in the winter. Menu changes regularly but keeps some staples all year round. There’s always something new to try. Occasionally you’ll see the mutton pie on the menu. Don’t think twice and try it. Marvellous.

Great service, good overcooked and significant levels of salt added to some dishes. Overall disappointing.

Excellent range of ciders, good wholesome food.

We cycled the strawberry line recently on a hot day so decided to drop in for a pint. As a huge thatchers fan, it didn't disappoint! Pub is really nice and we'll worth a visit 👌

One of the best dining experiences I've had in recent memory. Expensive but truly worth it. I had crispy beef to start which came with a tasty salad base drizzled with honey, and a gorgeous pork main that came with a quirky prune puree. We enjoyed our meal in the lovely greenhouse room, which is a roomy and pleasant space with lots of hanging plants and large windows for the sun to shine in. This venue made our anniversary very special and we will absolutely visit again.

I guess you could call The Railway In. The Thatchers Signature Pub, huge range of Thatchers Ciders and some decent beers too. Food is always good whether you stop for a bar meal or in the restaurant the quality is top notch. Ample room inside and a great space outside to sit in the sun. Would 100% recommend to anyone in the area.

First off I want to say that they sell the world's best cider here. Unfortunately the food didn't hold up to our expectations. The mussels tastes like they were undercooked and felt gritty, we found the burger buns to be very though and the falafel dry. The tartar sauce was the best we ever had nonetheless.

Beautiful place. We love locally but had never been in so we chose to go for my husbands birthday. Staff were wonderful, food choice were great, lots of what you would think was a standard meal but with a thatchers twist. All the drinks available as well as a great choice for non cider drinkers. Huge garden area with plenty of parking. Great little surprise of brownies with a happy birthday slate at the end of the evening so really thoughtful. More expensive than some places but the quality was amazing and lived up the positive reviews from friends. Highly recommend and will go again. Very busy on weekends, recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

Usually you get good food and service at the Railway, but not tonight! Service was poor, food late and parts of orders missed. I finally received a small piece of over-cooked fish with some lettuce leaves on a small plate filled with dry tasteless French fries. Still hungry I tried the pudding which was equally bad. Very disapointing!

Unbelievable service, especially from one person called Chloe. We felt like the only people in the restaurant, yet it was super busy. We are going to become regular date night attendees.

Sat on the site of “Myrtle Farm” the home of “Thatchers Cider Makers” the pub is a fabulous setting to dine. The food was excellent as was the care and attention of the staff. The large glass windows allow the sunn to illuminate the dining area with the backdrop being the Thatcher Factory. The menu is Gluten Free friendly with great selection of delicious dishes to choose from. One item that caught us off guard was the tomato sauce which was not GF however the staff were diligent and asked the chef just to make sure . Our waitress raced to our table with a pot of “Heinz” tomato sauce saying “please don’t eat the one you have” My daughter suffered a small reaction but the diligence of the Lady who served us was brilliant. If it was not hundreds of miles away we would dine there more often. We will book on the Tour soon then dine in the Thatchers Railway Inn Paul (Bury Lancashire)

Excellent place, beautiful design, clean, welcoming, popped in after tasting / buying some of their Ciders from their shop. The best family Inn by far.

Lovely pub, and great food. Lucky to be able to visit on a Monday during summer months and have a quiet lunchtime. Great for a family catch up. Very attentive staff, and prompt service.

Friendly staff nice food at a great price

Lovely pub/restaurant. We had Sunday roast which was perfect, maybe slightly high on the price for what you got but the food was perfect so no complaints

Really nice pub meal. We had the fish and chips and it didn’t let us down. Being next door to Thatchers ciders it had a great range of ciders. Sat in the garden on a warm night. Perfect.

Just a a quick taster's 3 glass per pint

Absolutely loved this place. Quality food, quality service, and the decor is cosy and relaxing and completed to a high standard. Highly recommend

We waited to be seated but were ignored by two staff (deep in a conversation about seating a table for three or four) until an older gentleman working at the bar noticed us, and came forward. He seated us and apologised for the wait. No worries. The food was delicious and well presented. We will go there again.

what a stunning pub , very welcoming for families, food delicious great value for money and staff absolutely amazing so helpful and polite didnt catch the lady’s name looked like a manager long brown hair with white bow she was absolutely exceptional would recommend this place to any looking for a lovely sunday zero faults

Very average. Just had the mixed grill at £25 plus £4 for chips. It was a very beige meal under cooked and small portions. The thatcher tour was great but the meal was a real let down.

Such a lovely place with an outstanding range of cider and a simple yet excellent menu. The service was welcoming and friendly.

Had an amazing roast dinner here, the beef was just to die for. Staff were lovely, a really nice place.

Beautiful pub & restaurant. Lovely atmosphere & the food was delicious. Staff helpful & friendly. Will definitely be back & would recommend.

Food mixed, had problem with undercooked pork which took an age to sort out but kitchen was very slow on day we visited despite being literally the first customers there. Some food was great though and pub itself was gorgeous. Unsure if I’ll be back as very expensive for what it was.

A little overpriced for the quality of the food, in our opinion. Service slow. Slow cooked beef was the best of the meal and amazing chips.

Good food .good selection of drinks . Would recommend

The staff were friendly and I enjoyed tasting the range of ciders.

Lovely pub. Great for social meets.

Enjoyable off the cuff evening with some unique flavours

WoW - What an amazing Pub/Restaurant. We had Lunch after a great tour of the Thatchers Factory. Food was excellent, service was very professional and what better than an array of Thatchers Ciders to wash it all down! We will be back 👍

Great food and very nice inside and outside areas.

Very nice building on the road on the way to Weston. Must visit the brewery next time we come. Have been a couple of times before so was a little disappointed in the size of the battered haddock I had. Tasted very nice but was more like a fish finger than a full size fish. My son had the burger,so no complaints there. Staff very pleasant, very clean and has a good atmosphere, even though there weren't many in the restaurant.

Really lovely place. We only stopped here as the road was closed, but so glad we did. Food was lovely and the service & atmosphere excellent.

Great expectations but poor experience, meals took a long time to come then were wrong. The one correct meal went cold waiting for the second.

Only stopped for a drink. Great garden. Dog friendly.

Another lovely visit! Service is superb, food is fantastic! Will always come back and back again even thou its a fair journey!

Another perfect lunch in beautiful surroundings, and plenty of the very best ciders in the world. What's not to love? #ThankStan

Nice pub, very polite staff. Nice clean toilets. Overall a great place to chill out. Second visit will return.

Beautiful setting, and great service, food and selection of Thatchers cider on tap. What more could you want?!

Nice clean and friendly place. Visited several times whilst working in the area, and brought family a few times too.

Lovely outside seating area. However because there is a limited menu outside the vegan/vegetarian option is a bit lacklustre especially for the price... I must say everyone enjoyed there food the pita bread was just a let down... And obviously all the fabulous ciders on tap were great!

Nice place but food was not up to standard

Went for a lovely tour of Thatchers with my family, then stopped for food. The food took a while to co.e out but when arrived was absolutely amazing. Would thoroughly recommend the tour the food to soak up the alcohol 🍻

Can't beat a pint of Big Apple from the farm 😊

Food was good, not great. Felt ripped off as VAT was added to the bill, which I believe may be illegal, plus service charge with no option to cancel it.

The staff were very slow to take orders. They didn’t know what was on the menu when we asked questions. On each course there was at least one item that was not enjoyable.

Delicious food, lovely area, kind and helpful staff. We told them it was for my partner's birthday and they gave us a free surprise birthday desert

Lovely friendly place well recommended

Great pub/ restaurant attached to Thatchers Cider brewery. Opportunity to tour the factory try all the varieties of cider and eat in the bar, restaurant or outside weather permitting.

Cider central! Great food and service, too

Lovely Thatchers pub. Great selection of cider direct from the brewery next door. Had Sunday lunch a few years ago and it was excellent.

Very disappointed by the Station Kitchen (outside food) very poor choice, nothing for kids other than chips (£3.50) expensive for what you got (which was to be expected) and food just not that good. Chargrilled vegetable pitta (£8) made me very glad not to be vegi (got it for my 3yr & 9mnth old to share). Burger was pretty thin for £10 (no chips included). Was not even that impressed with the chips. The other two food options were haddock bites £10 and Chargrilled corn on the cob £5. Cider over £5 pint. Can't comment on the main indoor menu. Shame about the choice as there were lots of families and children outside and it's right next to Strawberry line.

FROM START TO FINISH OF OUR TOUR WUZ BRIL,DEFO DO IT .JOHN OUR TOUR GUIDE WEL IMFORMD US ON ALL THAT WE BEEDED 2 NO🥃🥃

It's my absolute favourite place to dine. The food, the service is spot on every time. The house special lasagne tastes fantastic, and the sweet menu is simply delicious.

Nice, slightly upmarket place, good food, nice atmosphere - feels like you ought to dress up a bit! Loads of parking.

Lovely walk to a lovely pub. Staff excellent but £8.00 for Welsh rarebit . One small piece of bread covered in Welsh rarebit with nothing else. Very disappointing.

Long wait for food but tasted good

The food and service were excellent. We did the Thatchers tour and had a great time.

Lovely place, good food and plenty of ciders to try.

Went here for a roast for my partner’s birthday. She’s been waiting to go to this place for a while and it didn’t disappoint. Service and Food was great and can never go wrong with so many options of Thatchers on tap.

Excellent Sunday lunch for 10 today. Thanks

Found this little gem on a Sunday drive.....lovely Sunday roast.

Food was good & service excellent.

Just arrived home and chuffed to bits after a delicious lunch in this beautiful restaurant. I can absolutely recommend the Chicken Schnitzel and Cider battered haddock. The young ladies who looked after us were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. So many dishes I wanted to try so we will definitely return.

We went as a party of four. My partner and both chose the gammon steak with egg, chips and pineapple chutney. I was rather disappointed. Both the gammon and the egg were overcooked. The gammon was quite tough to cut. The egg was fried but not at all runny. We both had the same experience with the food. The staff were pleasant and attentive. But the food let the place down.

Lovely pub plenty of parking and cycle parking facilities does a good selection of ales perfect stop of your using the strawberry line nearby… food is lovely however I personally would like to see more traditional dishes on the menu but don’t let this put you off…. Well worth a visit

Always an amazing experience , consistently great bar staff , and our food / restaurant waitress’s / kitchen chefs attention to detail were excellent , thank you . A +++

Best service I have ever had. We went on Saturday (27/01/24) and had a lovely time. Service was quick and all staff were so friendly. The menu has something for everyone and of course the cider choice was amazing. Couldnt recommend more.

Our first ever visit for Sunday lunch and I must say it didn't disappoint. The staff, food , service everything was excellent. Everything is done to a very high standard. We will be back.
