I have been drinking here since 1987. It was my parents local. Have so many memories here. I have just had my Mums wake, The Railway bent over backwards. The food put on was amazing. The staff fantastic. Love the traditional pub. I hope to be back soon. Thank you all. It all meant so much.

Nice to see this pub popular again. Decent family in charge, nice selection of beer at good prices. It can be mistaken for a drinking mans pub but has gardens and families visit in warmer months.

If you are a bar person you don’t ask “who’s next” being jumped ahead of when you have already been acknowledged doesn’t bode well. That’s my last visit ever !

The street food section - Firstly came from Derby to visit family and decided to have this as the menu looked good. Ordered some food (family of 4) and it was horrible, food was virtually cold, nothing was actually fresh it was ethier just heated up, covered in mostly batter or not enough chicken on the wings. The burger was quite plain and nothing special. Also, food took nearly an hour to come which is not great. For the price of the food I expected better, after I ordered I looked around and not many people actually had food there's a fair chance people were not hungry or since South Woodham Ferrers there's not really any competition and it's small community people not really saying anything. Would definitely not go here again, absolute rip off. ------- Reason for 3 stars was the pub was clean and bar staff were friendly.

Back in the 80's, this little gem of a pub was my local. As one of 4 young guys growing up in this developing town back then, we would often pop in and see the old regulars and have a drink with them. Much has changed from back then with a more modern feel given to the pub over the years to include a well laid out garden and patio frontage. One thing hasn't changed and that's the friendliness of the pub. The service is good, with a reasonably good choice of drinks on offer.

Can't imagine why there are so many good reviews of this place. Yes, it is an 'old-style' local pub, shows sports etc... but no food, nor anywhere to eat anyway, which was probably just as well, judging by the disgusting state of the toilets (worse than late night at festivals!) Had one drink and was very pleased to leave.

I first visited for Sunday lunch, and it was absolutely delightful. The beef was perfectly tender, accompanied by fresh, flavorful vegetables and roast potatoes that tasted just like my mum's! The staff were warm, friendly, and provided service with a genuine smile. It was such a great experience that, in the words of Arnie, "I’ll be back!" And I did return—this time for a musical bingo night. What an incredible evening! The atmosphere was buzzing, the event was brilliantly organized, and everyone seemed to be having a blast. It’s not just a place for a great meal but also for fun and memorable experiences. Highly recommend this gem, whether you're after a delicious meal or a fantastic night out!
