The Railway Inn in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The railway inn has new owners what a difference food and service wonderful the pub has been cleaned up has a lovely atmosphere will definitely go again

Horrendous. Everyone fighting. Bar staff not in control and did not know how to control the situation. People allowed to drink accessively and vause physical violence.

Absolutely appalling service. We booked over a weekend for dinner time meal for 19 of us for a leaving do. Booked 5.30pm as we had children with us and it was a school night. Had confirmation message back from the pub to say all booked and fine. We arrived at the pub today to be told by the woman behind the bar 'kitchens closed'. We had no calls or messages to let us know not to make the journey with 9 hungry kids. I appreciate things happen but to not let your customers who have booked know what is happening is not on. The woman behind the bar was not apologetic at all. We won't be back!

The food was good, the staff are nice and we all enjoyed being there. Let downs Not having Burgers or Sausages for some of the menus meals. Outside was realy nice but let down by a very mouthy women creating an issue for the management. Would I go again for a meal? DEFINITELY YES, YES, YES

Fantastic little pub, just up from the station.....whenever I come to Westbury I always pop in , lovely friendly bar staff , chilled pint glasses .....locals warm and friendly......

I pre- booked the Railway in for 8 people for my birthday. I had regular contact with the pub and gave our orders 5 days beforehand! When we turned up today we weren’t greeted by staff members. We walked into a room with tables & chairs, it’s shabby & needs upgrading. There was no tables set up for us! We weren’t approached by any staff member during our short time there. We went to speak to a member of staff and was told “alright” we responded with our disappointment. This was ignored, this is poor behaviour! We then left the pub immediately. Extremely disappointed and wouldn’t recommend the Railway inn. We attended another pub, where we received service how it should be!

We went for a Sunday meal here with family. Previously on another visit we had roast dinners - which was mediocre to say the least. So, this time decided to try from the main menu. Two men had cheeseburger meals, which were alright - I suppose you can't really mess them up. My Granddaughter had a rump steak meal - she only ate about a third of it - chips were tepid. My little Great Granddaughter had rice, fish fingers - which were (looked) under cooked & unappetising (not golden) - when she got home she was sick !!!!!! I had Hunter's Chicken - which in places was difficult to cut up/eat, tepid chips and because I could not eat corn on the cob or onion rings - I asked for a green salad instead. I could NOT believe what was served up to me - the leaves were soggy/brown/old and smelt awful. When I complained all I got was "oh sorry about that". My little Great Granddaughter wanted to go to the toilet, I took her to the ladies off the restaurant area. The toilet was absolutely disgusting (sorry - splattered !!!!). We arrived just before the pub opened, so it must have been like it since the night before !!!!! I took her to the other toilet (off the bar area), which was also not cleaned, although better. When something like this happens you start looking around the place, and it could do with a good deep clean (floors/toilets etc). Needless to say we will not be going there ever again.

Stopped here for a meal whilst staying for the night in Westbury, found the staff very friendly and our food really enjoyable I had gammon and it was lovely and tender.

We went for a family meal today, three generations together. Couldn't have been happier with the quality of both food and drinks. The value of the half price meals on Monday to Wednesday is really incredible. The pub is clean and welcoming, the barstaff are friendly and helpful , and we will certainly be back.

Was stuck in Westbury for about an hour and a half between trains. Obviously in difficult circumstances at present, Was made to feel very welcome and a very good couple of pints of Fullers London Pride. A credit to Westbury.

Amazing customer service, really friendly atmosphere! Good was so yummy, highly recommend the hunters chicken 🐔! Kid friendly aswell, with a little play area in the garden, and great prices! Highly recommend! PS - The chef (Cherise) makes great chips!

Visited for a family meal for 10 people. The food was excellent as was the service. Great value for money. Clean and tidy place. Would highly recommend.

After booking a table for 12 I had to change the numbers attending a couple of times and then change meal requests and even then we turned up early but I have to say that Sue at the Railway Inn took it in her stride! Without exception we all enjoyed our meals; plenty to eat, on time, hot and very tasty. Thank you very much.

I called in today with a friend for a snack/lunch and a drink, and I have been here before and it is a great place to go which has seen a change in management and is still going strong and better. It has had a refurbishment too and it is looking smart. Order a snack and drinks at the bar and paid and the food was bought to us promptly and efficient and in a friendly manner - the food was hot which was good What I did like and is a vast improvement is the live information on train departures in the pub, which is good and it means that you know exactly how long you have to wait for your train (and if there are any delays!!) - I would say allow 5 minutes to get to the station especially as you do have to cross the road which can be busy at the best of times and with all the development that is going on locally (and the station at Westbury has 3 platforms with stairs/lifts) If you do have time to wait for your train it is great place to be rather than a chilly train station!! Prices are reasonable

I needed a place to eat as I was staying in a local B&B the owner suggested The Railway Inn, a short walk but as a woman on my own I was hesitant and nearly walked away, but I was hungry so I went in, I am so glad I did, I made an instant connection with a local lady called Ali, hope she doesn't mind me name dropping, so I stayed, I was made to feel so welcome by the bar staff and the locals it really blew me away, if you are staying close by The Railway Inn is worth a visit, you will want to visit again I know I do, thank you all at the Inn and everyone else you know who you are, kindest regards to all, Sue x

Asked for a hot chocolate, waited for 25 minutes, then was given something in a mug that had been made with hot water instead of milk and was absolutely undrinkable even for instant hot chocolate.

Called in today with friends for a drink and lunch/snacks after a working party and with the new management that it has managed to keep the good atmosphere that was there beforeIt is a short walk from the railway station but a fair walk from the town centre, and is a great place if you are waiting for a train for a reasonable length of timeWe ate at midday and the food came out quickly and it was very hotThe staff were friendly and polite

About three minutes walk from Westbury Station, itself a three quarter miles away from the town centre, is the Railway Inn. The immediate area around the pub has changed beyond recognition but luckily it seems the pub hasn't succumbed to today's modernisation. Big interior inside while small beer garden to the side of the pub. I was here to kill time as my train had been cancelled but nonetheless very pleasant atmosphere.

I really cannot fault the Sunday Roast carvery at the Railway. A huge selection of vegetables always on the servery .... choice of meats usually beef and chicken and a warm welcome. Just going back to the vegetables ..... parsnips, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, swede, peas, carrots, green beans and brocoli, all for £8.95 .... brilliant... and so much better than some of the trip advisor so called 'top venues' that have no idea on how to treat their customers.

Traditional Pub - very pleasant and nice and bright. Good menu selection available for lunch, but the burger part of the menu stood out for us. A few options available ranging from around 6-9 pounds. Good size portion washed down by lovely pint. Very good service and parking available.

Our family go here most Sundays, good Quality food 6 or 7 Vegitables, variety of Potatoes.Can not fault the Railway Inn.The Staff, and (Julian and Sue)the Managers. always helping during the Sunday Lunches.Making sure no one is waiting for anything.The Waitresses are always around in case anyone needs a drink, we feel relaxed, and will continue to visit them on SundaysVery good Value for Money and relaxed atmosphere xxThank you All Bren and Family

I have been here several times and have had food each time which has always been really tasty and amazing value for money! Lovely little pub, perfect for all the family. Very friendly and approachable staff :)

I have visited this pub on several occasions and each time I have eaten. The food was hot and delicious, the staff are so friendly and make you feel very welcome.

We have eaten at The Railway a few times since it was taken over last year.

I have been here a few times since its been under new management. Went for a cavery with the family. Had to say it was lovely. Food was cooked nice and was fast service. Will be back again. Recommend to anyone in the area that fancy’s some food out. Staff are welcoming and friendly. And th pub has a nice vibe

Lovely little pub, staff are always friendly and accommodating. Food has always been presented at a good standard. Reasonably priced aswel as some great deals on their meals. Highly recommended

Myself and a friend came for Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating from the word go and the prices at the bar and in the restaurant were reasonable. The actual Sunday carvery was so disappointing, though. There was a good spread, but the actual cookery of the food was poor. Most was overcooked, including the beef, roast potatoes and parsnips; and I couldn't understand why mint sauce was on offer when there was no lamb. All in all, I left wishing I'd eaten just my starter, which was big enough to be a lunchtime meal in it's own right (even though the kitchen had ran out of garlic mayo for the 'garlic' breaded mushrooms). It would appear that the Railway Inn has all the elements of a nice gastro pub, except for the vital ingredient of a well-rounded chef. I was looking forward to this meal with my friend in a pub I hadn't visited before, and I really, really wanted to like it, but it just fell so short of the mark - sorry.

This pub has new owners and I can't fault the lovely staff and the good atmosphere. I enjoyed our Sunday carvery but everything was so over cooked. From the roasties to the veg. Dissapointing! Maybe this was an off day. It wouldn't take much to make this very good. It's to do with attention to detail.

In between train journeys we popped in here for some warm food as it was too cold to hang about. I have to say we did have a warm welcome which was much appreciated after having a hell of a train journey up. This pub is old worldy which I do love and was quite busy with all the games going on darts, bowl or skittles& pool even though it feels like it's in the middle of no where. The drinks and meals were reasonably priced it's just the food really let it down, my son enjoyed his burger, my daughter lasagne did not taste anything like it and was very greasy, and I had pie and mash, more like smash I think my frozen peas were the best bit on my plate lol. If you just want somewhere warm and cosy to go for a drink you certainly can have it there, as for food I wouldn't entertain it. They could vamp it up get a tidy chef and they would attract more customers. I personally won't go there again sorry.

Went for a family dinner as the place has new owners and is the closest local to us. On the main road just down from the train station and has its own parking. Great food options, even a veggie cannelloni and dough balls which were very enjoyable.

Great Sunday lunch at the Railway today. Carvery, piping hot, fab choice of fresh vegetables, and two choices of meat. Fantastic service from Sue, Julian and team.

Had a wonderful carvery here a few Sundays ago. We had popped in for drinks n a burger previously but had been recommended the Sunday roast. Great value for money and lovely food!!! Would defiantly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic food and customer service. The barman/waiter was so kind to my family. The food was prompt. We all had a splendid time

This by far is the most friendliest pub, the staff cater to all your needs when asked. The lay out is very cosy but still has all the things you expect from a pub a very clean and well presented place.

went for a Sunday carvery 08/10/2017 with my Grandad how i visted today and took him out for lunch

Recently refurbished in a nice way. The meals were on 2 for £9 and were of a good size with a large range available on the menu. Quick and polite service and very clean. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in for fish and chips and a pint on the 2 for 1 deal. No complaints, good value and nice atmosphere. Would definitely go again.

I phoned on the off chance of getting a takeaway meal, my wife had recently loss her mum, and with no children around, I explained to the staff and they said if I collected myself they could do a meal, 40 minutes later we were sat at our dining table, enjoying a fabulous Sunday meal, including a FREE sweet for Mum's! I have to say all the staff were friendly and helpful. I cannot praise them enough, thanks from myself and a happy mother / wife.

Had Sunday carvery with friends! very much liked by all of us! But by late evening we all became ill! I don't think we were the only customers to become so! will not visit ever again!

Yet another great meal, good wholesome food. The Gammon just 'melted' in my mouth, The chips? Not a drop of oil in sight, so lovely and crispy and tasty. Pub food. Simply the best. Thanks Teresa.

Had lunch with a friend there today and both had different things from the menu and our plates were both clean and the food was excellent and hot and promptly and efficiently served - pudding was excellent too - have been full for the rest of the day.

What a shambles last night was! We were there to watch a fantastic comedian but because there was a group of rough, drunk girls on a hen party that kept shouting out obscenities to the comedian, even before his show had started, he ended his part of the entertainment. We were very disappointed as we had gone there especially to see this entertainer.

50 of us enjoyed a wonderful 3 course meal with coffee after, Homemade yokrshires, plenty of seasonal vegetables,served seperately. 2 jugs of gravy per table, more of everything if wanted, The Roast Beef was tender and tasty, Homemade apple crumble with custard, everything was served quickly and the meal was hot,The function room was laid up with fresh flowers, if you are looking for a wedding venue, or a presentation night (as we were) give the Railway a go, you wont be dissappointed, Friendly staff and accomodating licensees,

So I came here as my train was 3 hours away, at 11AM they were closed, all the signs were up and outside but closed.

Had an excellent meal for 35 for a walkers get together in January 2016 and have now just booked the 2017 - the excellent separate function room at the back is brilliant and can take up to 70 people

Can't recommend enough. The choice of meat and the amazing vegetable selection was incredible. Vegetarian options, gluten free options, it was really fabulous. Great staff, great value. We are definitely coming back. The nicest pub roast we'd had in ages. Thanks!

Came to vote and Teresa the wonderful landlady opened early to cook the family breakfast... And very nice it was too.. Complete with syn free sausages ( slimming world from a butcher) what a lovely thing to do..... The outside refurbishment looks fantastic and so does the new menu :) two for one deals everyday except Sunday.... Will definately be back...

Firstly had a lovely lunch here.. Not a tinned pea in sight!!! And homemade chips... Staff were amazing... Find the comment over the dog poo quite hard to believe as this pub was immaculate... This pub has had a massive overhaul and even has disabled parking.. Their Sunday lunches are fantastic with massive portions.. Keep up the good work guys

I went to the Railway Inn with my cricket team after we were rained off at Warminster. A dozen of us turned up without warning - but the staff were very friendly and not phased by the unexpected rush. We took advantage of a very good "2 for 1" offer which applied to all of the food on the menu, which consists of hearty pub classics, well cooked and presented.

Really wanted to give this place a great review as very local and want to support local businesses, we went at midday on a Sunday for the roast.

Tinned pees and lipstick on pint glass. A chicken breast that looks like it's been smashed over the head with a cricket bat. Wasn't expecting Michelin star but come on people! Enough said. Avoid.....

If you want to spend the day in your jim-jams watching the Grand Prix but yearn for a Sunday roast call these guys.!!!

OK, so this is not some fancy gastro-pub but then again the prices are a long way from one as well. Stopped in here to waste half an hour before dropping some friends off at the station and discovered the £4 lunch menu. Yes, that is £4. See the pictures for proof.

We enjoy popping into the Railway Inn now and again. Last visit Sunday lunchtime. Had a few drinks then into the restaurant for a Sunday Roast. Super Food, plenty to eat , great value for money and fast happy service once again.

Me and my partner stopped off here for a quick bite as we were cycling and needed food stat. The food here is so cheap and the portions are massive. Proper pub comfort food. It's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to recommend as the food is your basic pub food, but it's also not somewhere I'd avoid if I was hungry.

Lovely pub sat right outside westbury station. Popped in for a drink and a bit to eat.. Amazing! Not from the area so was really a nice touch to receive a warm welcome at the bar. Plenty on offer to drink and eat. Will definitely return here

Very friendly staff and the food was lovely and loads of it. The light in the toilets were not working and there was 2 very spiteful young girls (I would go as far as to say bullies) in the playarea with no one watching them.

Yet again another superb service from these guys!! Fantastic just what the man of the house required before he goes away to work . Piping hot food complete with a tub of gravy !!!

My Wifes birthday party was held at the Railway Inn. Teresa the landlady took care of all of the preparations, the venue decoration, the same colours as my wife's dress. Everything was 'top drawer'. Absolutely brilliant. The food was 'second to none'. I had ordered a 16oz T-bone steak two days before but fortunately a 15oz Ribeye was bought instead, no T-bones'. WOW!!!! What a steak, so soft it just melted in my mouth. By far the Best Steak I reckon I have ever tasted?

This is on our doorstep only wish we had more time to get out & use it more!

Can't comment on food. Popped in for quick drink as train delayed at Westbury. Staff friendly but all pervasive smell of old chip fat throughout pub is a major turn off. I can still smell it on my clothes some time later!

Whenever we're in town we make a point of coming here, even if it's just for one of their lattes with whipped cream on the top and their delicious prawn sandwiches. Gorgeous. We've lunched here with our grandchildren and the staff have been great and the food has been hot, tasty and plentiful, while prices are low. OK, it's not a 'posh' pub, but who cares?

Having a lazy Sunday & with pub in walking distance decided to give it a try.

Pubs near railway stations often tend to be on the tatty, run-down side, but this one isn't at all bad: it's a converted mill, although that's not as obvious from inside as from outside, and is only a couple of minutes' walk from Westbury station. It's although nothing very special, but it's decent and friendly enough - definitely a better place to wait for a train than a draughty platform!

This was the only restaurant open on a Monday lunch time in the area. Four of us had a reasonable priced meal of burgers & chips. The portions were large and the service was very friendly.

We popped in for a spontaneous lunch - not knowing what to expect, just knowing we wanted a no hassle and yummy roast dinner - and sure enough, that's exactly what we got!
