The Railway Inn in North Somerset

Beautiful place especially in the summer

This restaurant must be fantastic and always booked solid as I have been trying to book a table and have left countless voice messages and sent an email and no one even bothers to contact me! Wonderful way to run a business.

The Railway Inn is a fantastic spot for drinks and food, although that should come as no surprise, being owned by Thatchers. There is an indoor restaurant and bar, the latter of which is dog friendly. All outdoor seating is dog friendly. Although expect a slightly different menu if you're eating outdoors. The atmosphere is great, and the whole place is done to a really high standard. I've eaten here several times and every time it's been good. The burgers are flavoursome, and the portion sizes perfect for the price, given the quality you receive. All in all, highly recommend. Dog bowls available on request.

The roast beef was disappointing, what little of it there was looked processed and tasted bland. The roast potatoes were dry and hard. The veg had rhubarb mixed in with it, creating a bizarre sweet flavour. The Yorkshire pudding was a decent size, but so dry it completely disintegrated the moment you cut into it. The desert was much better and the service we received was good. The venue is lovely, but the food needs sorting out.

Staff were accommodating even if we were late for our booked time.

Went with family Easter Sunday, we were there at 12.00,we ordered lunch and it came out, the plates were cold,there for by the time that the cauliflower cheese came out and put on the food roast lamb lunch all of it was just luke warm, not wanting it to be stuck in a microwave and ruined completely I ate it, but very disappointed 😑

Hefty portions of well cooked tasty food!

What a great place. Lovely lunch before the tour around Thatchers.

Went in for a quick drink, very nice staff and building!

Nice atmosphere with excellent service Unfortunately the food was overcooked (onion ring along with some fries failed to accept either knife or fork), but yes we can all have a bad day.

Booked for a family birthday we didn't realize how expensive the food was, as we had a vegan and vegetarian in our family there was not alot off choice on the menu at all, food was good but does not cater for non meat eaters, the staff was lovely and friendly enough

A high standard pub with a nice interior and wood and glass dining room extension filled with natural light. Large garden with lots of tables. Tasty food that was far more adventurous than standard pub fare. Right next door to Thatchers Brewery. Quiet on a Monday lunchtime. Would happily return

We had a meal here before we did the cider tour. The food was very good, staff were very friendly.

Brilliant, food was very tasty, good portions. Served quickly. Ate after a tour of the Thatchers 'factory'.

The venue is beautiful. The staff were attentive and a great selection of drinks. Didn't have the food but it did look great. Will be going back to try

A+ food, plenty of Thatchers cider on tap.

We had an amazing meal here i had a burger and my pertner had a steak and both dishes were beautifully presented and delisious with a huge selection of drinks obveously cider but a lot of others aswell and a reasonable price for a luxuary meal in a beautiful restraunt

Fantastic modern pub/ restaurant, run by Thatchers. The food is very good and well priced. The staff are friendly and attentive. Of course the reason to really come here is the Thatchers cider, with many of their varieties on tap, and more in bottles. They also serve other brands, such as Guiness, as well as wine. I would definitely recommend the 3 glass flight, giving you the opportunity to try a few out!

Amazing food and the personell was so friendly and nice. Ciders were divine! So many from the tab. Would definitely come back!

never been in the RAILWAY INN

It is indeed a lovely place. I had the ham lock, that was unfortunately tasteless, and my friend had the mixed grill, that was ok, but, at £28, a bit expensive. The service was absolutely miserable, the place is surely understaffed. Or the staff lacks motivation...the only thing that came quickly to our table was the bill! 🤣🤣🤣

Friendly and excellent food as well as excellent service

Had roast beef Sunday lunch was not for me or any of my party

A great pub with great staff. Food is a little pricey, but it's worth it as the quality of the food is better than most places I've been for a while. It's definitely worth a visit.

Shockingly amazing, had the best mixed grill I have ever had. Everything on there cooked to perfection. And the cider is nice 🙂

Wonderful food. Great service Lovely setting. We took the Thatchers Tour and booked a table for afterwards. Fabulous day

Meal cooked OK But was expensive for what you get especially when charged a service fee which was not disclosed before. Left felling a bit disappointed.

Excellent food, good beer in great surroundings.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this as pubs usually mess up with steaks, but they cooked this really well! It was in a deal steak and cider for £20 which I thought was such good value for money, especially with the endless selection of thatchers they had on offer! The interior was also beautiful!

For those food prices, you would expect food to taste great, but many ended up very disappointing.

Have been here a few times (mostly events) and enjoyed it, unfortunately this time it was not so great, waited at the ‘wait here’ sign for 15minutes, even popped my head round corner to be seen, three young staff appeared to be hiding in the corner??? Finally got showed to our (booked) table, bought most drinks from bar, as first waiting staff visited followed 20 minutes after being seated. Excellent menu choice, chose the chicken schnitzel, lovely except the chicken was extremely overcooked, needed a steak knife to get anywhere near it. My partner reported a non-flushing toilet, to be given an extremely rude response, which I wont repeat, by what appeared to be the shift manager, most staff were pleasant but seed untrained, senior staff were not pleasant.

Absolutely Lovely pub, food was delicious, drinks amazing service fab

Not a patch on what it use to be, it is now quite expensive for less than average food, very little choice of vegetables, in fact at the time of our visit they could only offer battered gherkins.

I was really looking forward to eating here on Christmas Eve after not visiting for a few years. We booked well in advance. When we arrived there was awful loud live music on from 7:30 - 10 pm and we couldn’t even have a conversation. I really wish we had been told this when we booked so we’d have the opportunity to choose if we wanted to endure this or not, but but at 7:30 pm on Christmas Eve we could hardly go elsewhere. The fish and chips were lovely but my partner had the chicken schnitzel which was a very small piece of chicken with an awful bitter sauce and hard potatoes. Luckily they swapped it for burger and chips. My desert was disappointing it was supposed to be pear strudel but it was 99% sultanas extremely rich and not edible. I certainly won’t be rushing back here.

Quite possibly the worse food I’ve ever eaten anywhere near Weston Super Mare. Overcooked, over salted and terrible tasting. 16 of us at the table and half have sent mains back Service is atrocious too

First time here recommended by a friend and was a brilliant visit, can’t wait to go back. My partner and I had the Sunday dinner menu which was delicious, my daughter had the railway burger which was amazing. The staff were very friendly and polite in both the restaurant and bar. It was also lovely trying the draught ciders.

We arrived (2 of us) and we were going to have a drink in the bar before our meal but were advised by the staff to go straight through to the restaurant as they had a large party coming in soon. We ordered and then waited over an hour for our food, while others who had come in after got their food, we asked on several occasions what was happening! When the food arrived, one meal was completely cold the other was hot but part of the dish was not edable. We cancelled our puddings and left!

Just had a fantastic meal with my Mrs. We both chose from the three course christmas menu. Perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and totally stuffed.

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.

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 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

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 👌

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)!

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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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.

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

Just a a quick taster's 3 glass per pint

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.

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.

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.

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 👍
