Received a very warm welcome from the staff. Very quick and friendly service. Great food. Landlord took time to explain the history of the pub, which was interesting. Good food. Good friendly service. Definitely be returning.

Lovely traditional pub, very affordable considering it's location and the food is very good and affordable. I always have nice time also good much live or not live. Beautiful large garden. One of my favourite pubs in the area. Staff always friendly!

Nice pub gets very busy on the weekends mix of English and Indian dishes. Drinks are a little pricey but not super expensive.

Won a free Sunday roast for 2 at Party in the Ponds - NOT honoured. We had prebooked a table for 2pm Sunday 25th August when we arrived and produced our voucher the refused to honour it. So embarrassing. Asked us to sit and wait while they ‘investigated’ it. We were certainly NOT welcomed we waited at least 15 minutes while they just served other customers. I asked at least could we have the bottle of wine promised on the voucher which they gave me. So we left without the complementary Sunday roast each. Very upsetting experience rude & unhelpful staff. Avoid.

Really lovely Sunday roast. The veggie option was great too. Great variety of veg to go with the superb pork and beef. Good value too.

I recently dined at The Railway Tavren for a casual evening out, and it was an unforgettable experience. The venue was intimate yet spacious enough to accommodate the energetic crowd, who were clearly there to have a great time. From the moment the lights dimmed and the band took the stage, the atmosphere was electric. Jayesh were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Had a India dinner and starter, quality of food. **The taste of home... ** I would say the chef Jayesh cooking is exceptionally delicious 🤤🤤. One should visit and must try veg Samosa and onion Bhaji 😋😋😋 you can try other foods too.. Thanks Jayesh and The Railway Tavren..😊😊

Visited Saturday evening and watched a band. Bar staff are good. Beer is reasonably priced. Large beer garden in the sun . We just thought it was weird and slightly disrespectful having a giant TV showing bar meals as the backdrop for the performers.

The staff at this establishment are incredibly warm and accommodating. I had the pleasure of savoring a refreshing pint of lager while being serenaded by delightful music. However, the cleanliness of the tables and chairs left much to be desired. The faint aroma of a less-than-pleasant cloth used to wipe down the table tops was noticeable. Nevertheless, during the summer months, this pub would be an ideal destination with its ample outdoor seating and lively music.

Hidden gem of fishponds just off the high street, the food is delicious. Great curry, the wings were amazing. Fantastic value for money. Also tried the burger which was tasty. Its not often a kitchen gets two very different cuisines both done well. I'd highly recommend a visit. Come hungry!! Súper friendly staff as well :)

Been in here today to have a few drinks and watch the rugby (6 Nations). The beer was good, the staff were great but there were a few unsavoury people who were quite demanding of the status of the remote control! Was good though and my partner and I had a lovely time.

BEST ROAST DINNER EVER! I had beef and my partner had chicken. Honestly, I’ve had a lot of roast, but the flavour of this one was just outstanding. I rated it 9.5, only let down by the Yorkshire that wasn’t the freshest/crispiest, however I do understand that as it is hard to do Yorkshires in batch!! Don’t let that deter you!

WARNING - We'd been ordering food from The Railway Tavern for many years as a healthy alternative to normal take away food. However, we'd ordered today though and wow, were we in for a bad surprise!... Although the driver was friendly, the food was terrible quality (as you'll see from reviews on Just eat), cold and the portions were absolutely tiny for the price, especially compared to what they used to be. IF YOU'RE A TYPE 1 DIABETIC LIKE ME, BE CAREFUL AND HAVE LESS INSULIN if you want to experience the shockingly poor new standards for yourself. We paid nearly 40 for two tiny amounts of mash, a rock hard pie with some kind of cold weird jelly beef filling and some peas, opposed to before - which would be a hell of a lot of mash, tasty and hot pies, lots of peas and green beans, broccoli and cauliflower. Honestly, we were shocked. They're scamming people who have no idea, as their rep used to be great. WE WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN.

We used to order the pie and mash from here if we wanted a treat as it used to be amazing - big portion, loads of mixed veg and tasted great. Haven't ordered for a while as it's not been available so were happy to see them back online and ordered pie and mash today - portion was much smaller, a handful of peas and the pie filling had the consistency of wet jelly cat food and it was cold. Not to mention the prices have gone up, £15 for a meal that was awful (and £4 for a side of onion rings, a whole 6 of them!). Incredibly disappointed as this was our favourite place on just eat, but will never be ordering from here again

Used to order here frequently, it didn't appear as an option for several weeks so I was happy to see it return, after this order I wish it hadn't. Food quality has markedly dropped while price has increased. Won't be ordering again which is a shame as it used to be excellent.

The Railway Tavern is a genuine local pub, which is a bit of a rare thing nowadays, and offers three real ales on hand pumps, plus popular lagers, cider and Guinness etc. Darts is a popular game here, and there are two dart boards. There is now a pool table! Several televison screens around the pub show football and/or rugby, when it is on. The Bristol to Bath cycle way is only up the road, so getting here is easy, and cyclists are most welcome....well..everyone is most welcome actually! Anyway! I like this pub and it's mix of local (and not so local) people, and have spent many a happy hour (or more) here!

The steak was terrible, the chips were sweaty and the £2 extra mushrooms and £2 extra sauce were not great. Plus the whole lot was wrapped in loads of plastic and thrown about in the bag. It was a mess. I'm disappointed. I won't be ordering from here again. If I wanted a chewy steak I'd have cooked it myself!

The food was beautiful. Choice of meat and vegetables was lovely. It was a little too expensive. Delivery was a nightmare ! Delivery driver picked up the meal from the tavern and half hour later rearly to apologise he was stuck in traffic. He assured us he would be 15 minutes as he was stuck in traffic. Total delving time was over 45 minutes after delivery driver left the restraunt. we live 1mile from the restraunt. As a result the good was cold. food fabulous so would order again. Delivery appalling so want use just eat to order again.

Roast was awful, potatoes was hard, the greens was peas and runner beans and it was like a whole box of that. My steak was nearly well done, I asked for rare. The gravy was watery, cauliflower cheese was cheese and cauli cause it just fell off. It was absolutely tasteless. Really not happy and spent 35 pound. Threw it In the bin.

Please train your staff. On 5th October at 2:15p the staff messed up with the toasties and I've been served with the Ham & Cheese toastie instead of plant-based version. It has been a take away so I realised only 10 minutes later, when I was from the store. It's disappointing as I'm vegan and couldn't eat it.
