The Railway Inn in Brighton and Hove

Fantastic Sunday Roast , in fact I can honestly say , best I’ve had . I had the roast beef , amazing , the veg was so flavoursome, roast potatoes crispy outside fluffy inside , don’t even get me started on the Yorkshire pudding ,size of a smart car 😳, great portions , I had the pigs in blankets as a side, probably got a packet of sausages to myself , not complaining 😀, honestly just great to go somewhere where staff are lovely , the food is exceptional and value for money not very often you can say that these days , absolute hidden Gem , 👍

Love this little venue, always friendly and lovely staff. Great selection of drinks and children friendly until 8pm. Haven't had food there yet but food looks great!

My go to pub when catching up with friends.

An absolutely great pub for drinks food and atmosphere. We were there for a comedy evening in a rear room of the pub but had a delicious meal before and a few drinks all served by amazing friendly staff. Such a shame we live in Bristol as would love to have it as our local.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. Lovely Christmas decorations, very well managed pub, great team of staff and the food was wonderful, roast turkey on the menu today, highly recommended!

We had roast it was very nice potatoes were ok but not enough

Lovely relaxed atmosphere friendly staff

We have just had a private party at the Railway in the function room and I can't thank the staff enough. They were so helpful in everyway from to start to finish. Thanks for making our special occasion really good fun. Karen and Alex.

My regular now even though there are other pubs in the area this one's my favourite. Lovely staff, plenty of seating including a garden,dog friendly and fantastic food. What more could you ask for?

Great atmosphere, excellent customer service and amazing food. You'd better be hungry if you eat here because of the portion sizes. They did offer a take away box if I couldn't finish it all. They have a large range of gelato which I would have liked to try, I just couldn't fit it in.

Lovely Sunday roast. Very generous and tasty

Great food and fabulous service

A 25 minute wait for two sharing plates and the food was barely warm. Didn't complain as we had already waited long enough. Mentioned it when leaving and got a 'sorry'. Hot food is meant to be served hot, not luke warm, especially chicken. Disappointing as we'd like to support this local business but although it was edible it wasn't enjoyable. Not recommended for food.

Stopped for a quick drink on a rainy day. Service was friendly, immediate jokey banter with the staff which I love. Cider was cold. The menu looked good and we would have tried the food if we had more time.

Lovely staff, great pub, and I always feel welcome. The food is also on another level 😊👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

As near to what a pub was, as you get, nowadays.

Nice pub. Good beer and nice service.

An excellent pub with great service and atmosphere!!

Went to Brighton for a day out and wanted dinner on the way home. Googled pubs where we were and The Railway Inn on Station Rd came up. We all had a roast and I have to say it was the best roast I’ve had in a long time. Great vibe to the pub and wonderful staff. Excellent value considering the quality of the food too. Would definitely highly recommend a visit ! 10 out of 10 . Thank you x

Sunday lunchtime the music was very loud and heavy rock music not the right selection. The room was very hot even with the door open. The food was very generous portions but with sweet potato purée, red cabbage and excessive gravy it was all very “ mushy”.

It’s changed an awful lot from the pub I tempered from 30 years ago which is why I was sceptical when my mates suggested going there but it’s now a very nice place with a pleasant atmosphere and generally just a nice place to go

Had a lovely roast pork belly today .. waited around 30 mins from ordering it but it was pretty busy . Would defo come for another

The £15 prosecco on Friday evenings is great, and we love the garden. But the loud heavy rock music is so bad we are not sure we will continue to come. We did ask for something more generic with a Friday night vibe, but they just turned it down a bit, it was still the same awful music. Such a shame as we have been coming after work on Fridays for ages.

Nice pub, good outdoor seating and friendly staff. Didn't eat any food but it all looked really good

Nice pub, the food was really impressive!

the food is suprisingly good and good portion!

Booked in for Sunday lunch. Food was excellent. I had the lamb and there was lots of it. Very good to see a wide range of zero percent alcohol drinks available. Would definitely go again.

This is a great pub, the beers are always well kept, the staff friendly and the food great. Very family friendly with a great selection of ice cream for both adults and kids. A surprisingly large outdoor area and a great function room.

We just booked the function room for my daughter’s 21st Birthday and it was perfect!! Justine really helped us from booking to ideas to make it more fun. Josh worked the bar and was happy , efficient and really added to the atmosphere!! Great transport links with the train station and bus stops outside ! All in all, I’d highly recommend the Platform room for any function!!! Thanks to everyone at the Railway Tavern for making her birthday so special!!

Nice place, family friendly, garden out the back

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and service, amazing vegan food and good selection of ales and craft beers or ciders. Dog friendly, cosy.

A good vibe pub with consistent roasts every Sunday. Last time I had the pork belly and crackling it had a decent amount of good quality food, including a massive Yorkshire pudding and red cabbage. I arrived at 6pm and they hadn’t run out! (Another big bonus). The beer on draught is always good and the ales change frequently. They have an above average selection of wine also, including a white vino verde which I love! The staff are always friendly and amenable, plus there are offers running throughout the week for 2 for 1 deals on food. In my opinion, this pub is much better than a lot of central Brighton pubs which can possibly be pretentious and a bit w@nky 😆

It's a very nice place and the terrace it's gorgeous. Buuut was a guy in the bar tall with beard with such a bad vibe and arrogant. 1 star for his mood..

Football and beer. Outdoor seating

Delicious food, great music. We go every week!

A quality local where anyone should feel welcome, of a good size and serving decent beers and good grub. Can get very busy but even then the service flows smoothly. Get yourself an ice cream, you won't regret it.

Food was so wonderfully good, great portion. Really like this pub

Love this pub, great food and staff!

Brilliant pub highly recommended

Ordered a pint and a glass of wine, nothing special about either drink and it was £18.95, stupidly expensive for two drinks, was busy so I'm guessing people don't mind paying over the odds for drinks but I do and it was a rip off

Lovely old school pub lovely traditional decor, lovely cooked food, beautiful cheesy chips cook properly with skin on.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast! Can’t fault it and they cater for everyone’s requirements too, with GF and veggie options.

The worst niches I have ever eaten in my life. I think they don't know the original recipe, so the price becomes expensive.

Big pub near Portslade Station, was in late midweek, not bad for a cheeky pitstop. Update: went to a party in the function room on a Saturday, great fun with own bar + access to main bar. Pub pretty busy even at 7pm,all good.

Lovely pub, good atmosphere, and the Sunday roast was EPIC!

Lovely day... lovely food, great service and staff friendly and helpful

They have updated the menu from the previous medicinal l Mexican offerings and haven't yet tried it, but the range on meat, veggie and vegan offerings does look pretty good. Still lots of nice ice cream on offer :)

Checked with staff re: car parking charges which didn't apply to us - logged car reg no. on the tablet, inside the pub, which gives you up to 4 hours. Good selection of food choices. We were able to sample Senior's 2 course meal which was good value. Friendly female member of staff. Quiet atmosphere, but it was early in the week.

Just had a roast and the cherry cookie dough , was immense great roast and dessert was beautifully done and gorgeous

Went there for lunch with my daughter... Steak and stilton sandwich in dough bread side salad & crisps all included and we orders side chips... So delicious..Going back on Mothers Day Sunday for Roast .5/5

Had to pay over £10 for a double vodka, lime and soda. Absolutely ridiculous.

Lovely staff, amazing veg roast.

This large mock Tudor facade pub is unmissable if you step out of Portslade station and turn towards Boundary Road. The Railway Inn, Portslade was built in 1860, by local brewers Vallance & Catt, about 20 years after the Portslade station itself. Stepping inside a well-stocked bar with a friendly & welcoming staff... Davina & Co. Chic decor & chilled atmosphere. As you head deeper into the pub, behind the central staircase there’s a raised seating area offering more low seating and padded bench sets. Beyond that room is the garden set up with lots of individual tables and chairs, which is cheerful and bright. As well as the typical major brands: Guinness, Birra Moretti, and some more. Huge variety of both cask and keg beers, wines & spirits. Weekly pub quizzes, monthly art classes and live acoustic music once a month, & seasonal events are happening throughout the year. The Menu at The Railway Inn is ‘Street Fusion’, inspired. Fried chicken, nachos, tacos, loaded fries, burgers, and then a load of oriental Asian cuisine such as bao, bento, gyoza and noodles... Plus a children's menu too. The Ice Cream outlet is built into the bar stocked by Hove Gelato, which has as much ice cream on offer as you’d expect to find at your local Gelataria. Dog-friendly 🐕 I would highly recommend & will be returning soon.

Totally covid prepared. Nice pub. One thing.. The head on their Guinness needs to be honed. 8mm guys not 30mm! Good burger deals on a Wednesday but you'll need to book. Very popular. Update... Guinness heads are more acceptable. Great atmosphere. Fledgling comedy nights. Quiz night on a Monday.. If only they had shut the box!! Too many people book tables and don't show. Regulars should come first. Stop booking tables if you are flakey. Ruins it fr the rest of us.

Great pub, fantastic food, very glad to see some good value lunch options, I'll definitely be visiting more often as a result.

My mate took me for a Sunday roast. It's a tradition every time I visit UK. This time we went to his local, The Railway Inn. It was fantastic. Absolutely packed*, clearly a very popular Sunday roast spot. The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff were really cool, and the soundtrack was just perfect. You don't so much walk to your table, more do a slight boogie. The roast? Really really good! I had the vegetarian option, obviously. Photos supplied for context. *Even though the restaurant was packed, the service was impeccable!

All star food drinks and reception.

We only went because we had some time to fill. But it turned out to be very good indeed with an enjoyable covers band and a pre Xmas party ambience. Drinks good and friendly service at the bar. Would revisit.

Excellent pub, fierce Bonnet hot sauce

Good beer, did not eat so I don't know. Very noisy and furnishings very tatty.

Having been across the road for a Xmas work lunch we lurched into this pub as the closest drinking joint. Against my expectations it was lovely, good range of drinks, pleasant staff and atmosphere, and lovely ice cream!

Had a Christmas menu group booking for 8 people and we had a lovely evening. The turkey main course was delicious with vegetable side dishes to share. Large portions and all cooked perfectly. The puddings were tasty too and everything was served on time and cleared away quickly. Great choice of beers. Please can we get a Good Times pub in Shoreham please!

Just popped in for a drink but had a great atmosphere coming up for Christmas 🎁⛄

Didn't eat today, just a drink, very festively decorated, kids and pets welcome, even an un house ice-cream cabinet and old fashioned sweets by the quarter, the gardens great here, I really haven't been for a long while, and can't speak for the food as I say. But worth a visit !

Here for our annual St Leonard's Beer and Carols. Great atmosphere with the locals as vocal as the rest of us! Generous helping of excellent cheesy chips, and Panatone, a winter stout. The Harveys was good as well.

This is a great pub. Run by the Good Times company who really know how to run decent pubs. They have a number in the West Hove area and they are all good destinations in my opinion. Good selection of beers and always plenty of staff. 👍

Such a great pub, often go here for lunch as they have decent 2-4-1 and other special offers. Food is great and decent selection of drinks. Great atmosphere and nice garden.

Went for a roast on Sunday, the pork was incredible! Staff were swift and friendly. Very attentive. 10/10.

This is a brilliant pub, and also a great place to meet friends and family. The beer is gorgeous, as also is the food. The staff are sweet and welcoming, and I would particularly praise Cat, the manager, and Tom, another manager, for the great job they do. So, come to the Railway, have a lovely evening, and rediscover the sweet side of life!

Usual southern too- high beer prices but friendly and warm

We had a family party at The Railway for iur daughters 18th on Saturday, it was great food was really good and all bought out on time, the staff couldnt have done enough. Massive thankyou to Justine for her organising top job. would highly recommend.

Burger deal is great, 2 for 1 on Wednesdays including specials 🍔

Very nice roast dinner, very friendly staff, good service will visit again

I went there with a group on Saturday for a family get together and found the whole experience highly enjoyable. The food, the staff and the general level of service were all excellent! I would definitely go again if it wasn't a four to five hour drive away!

I was waiting to get a drink at tge bar, a very nice lady came to serve me, but I said I thought people further down were ahead of me, so she went to serve them. Only two people behind the bar, the other a chap with a black & white shirt. He was very friendly with the people he was serving and spent a long time just chatting (having fulfilled their order) then he picked up a bottle & took it to the other end of the bar? I gesticulated & he came to me (a 69 year old female) I said: I thought I was invisible there? He said: no you weren't but DON'T annoy me. At which point I walked out. I have been using this pub since it opened and have always had good, polite service, but sadly not this evening

Disgusting service! Unfriendly staff. Made us feel very small! Especially one of the women behind the bar!

I recently hired the Platform venue at the back of the pub for my 50th birthday party, we all had food beforehand which was tasty and just what we needed before the party! We were able to set up early and get balloons and the DJ ready for opening at 7pm, we put a big tab on the bar and the staff served people fast. Lots of fun was had by all! The lights and speakers on site were great and we used the projector screen for our extra lights, the sofas on the mezzanine were a great place for people to chill out. I'd 100% use it again - bonus was we could stay til 1am to have a proper party!

Bit noisy, but it was sat night

Potentially good pub. Dreadful 70s rock soundtrack.

Stayed at this lovely Inn for four nights on Oct 2nd 2023 Rooms spotless and cosy, Amazing freshly cooked breakfast, manager and staff very nice and helpful, definitely staying again. Mrs jeffery

Selling weeks out of date snacks. When asked for complaints forms or way to make a complaint, was told that the company doesn’t have complaints policy which is unacceptable. Disappointed 100% !!

We don't often come in on a Friday night and it was buzzing. We didn't eat that night but have done many times. The food is incredible. Always good for a night out.

Food is really good, and reasonably priced, staff friendly. A real gem. I have taken one * off the food, not for the quality, but the portions are too big, so feels a bit off-putting when this mountain of beautiful food is put Infront of you. Wish there was an option of regular and small portions (I apricate not all dishes can be served in different option of portion size) Then could have both starter, main and dessert.

Fun time at the Monday Quiz with a really nice menu special, loaded Yorkies with a lentil and cheese wellington.

£14 for two pints feels like overkill.

Lovely pub, lovely staff. £16 for the burger and chips they serve is crazy. The burger is small and no better than a burgar van burger, the chips are overcooked. I expect a much better standard for that price

Very good service Really good food Fantastic roast Highly recommended

Nice pub! Great menu.. I went for the 241 burgers and the burger was very tasty but not very filling! Very small burger with small fries, served in a small plastic basket and if I had to pay the full price of £15.95 I would of been extremely unhappy but instead just left still hungry. Nice and quick service, great pub with lots of seat inside and out and they have various nights on.

Very good family meal of Sunday roast and burgers. Everything was beautifully cooked, and there are plenty of seats inside and out. And if the puddings menu doesn't appeal, just look at the 20 or so flavours of ice-cream and sorbet

Brilliant atmosphere, cool vibe, great food. Stand-out pub in Brighton.

Service fairly quick considering it was quite busy. Atmosphere nice, airy and open. Nice open garden.

Brilliant pub staff fantastic and choices of beers great. Food and everything 10outa10

This place has a lovely vibe and very tasty food. Love the non-alcoholic options (Juicy AF particularly) and the treats and gelato. Always such a treat, even options for vegans.

Very expensive for a Portslade pub. £17.50 for 2 pints of one particular IPA. Won't be rushing back. Update April 2023 pub confirmed price correct as a local beer!!!. Bearing in mind Foghorn down the road can do local brews for 50% less than this that doesn't excuse ridiculous amount charged.

Bao were good, broccoli was bit undercooked. Ice cream was decent

Went for Sunday lunch with some friends. It wasn't as busy as usual, but that's January I guess. Bar staff were extremely efficient and very friendly. Meals came within about 20 minutes which was fine, however asked the waitress for some horseradish which never appeared. Had to go to the bar and request again as there didn't seem to be any floor staff to ask. Meals were very generous and on the whole, had a very nice Sunday experience.

Fantastic roast dinner! Be very hungry. Lovely family lunch but odd the staff couldn't manage to serve an Irish coffee. Not on the menu apparently despite all the ingredients evidently available. Odd!

Nice community pub who make an effort to provide entertainment throughout the week. Good ale, food average. Just started a jam night on Mondays which should fill a quiet night.

Attended a pottery class in the back room of pub. Made a pot and painted a tile. Fabulous fun, good price. Pretty frontage (flowers) to pub welcoming you. Big inside. Different days have different offers on food. We arrived early to eat. Only when we had started the lesson, did we see that if you are attending a class, mention pottery at bar and receive 15% off. You also receive a free drink from a selection list. Chatting with others in group they told us that there is a retro night, quizzes, crafts all going on. Great stuff, hope to return soon.

Lovely pub with excellent selection of beer and ales. Food is well priced well presented and with a good deal of choice and all of this at competitive prices in a great atmosphere and terrific staff.
