The Railway Wetherspoons, United Kingdom in Medway

Had great service and food here and Zoe (kitchen manager) and her team were amazing, friendly and efficient

Plain food but quickly served, hot and tasty.

Went here to meet up with some friends. We're used to picking a Spoons to meet up as we know what to expect. Apart from this time! The food and drink was as good as usual, but the staff were amazing! They're such a happy bunch that they obviously like working together. They all seemed to keep the place clean too as they walked through. The ladies toilets ( upstairs as usual!) were clean ( and huge) each time we went up. Never a queue either. All I can say to the managers is visit other Wetherspoons to show them what good service and happy staff are please!

Food was adequate, costing was good! All in all,no complaints!

Always busy in this pub, so finding a table may be difficult, but if you manage it, food is always good for the price and drinks are cheaper than a standard pub, so that's a win , win.

The food was good, you go served really quickly. Well done

Everything you expect from a Spoons.

A good wetherspoons ideally situated near a main railway connection or a short walk to a bus stop. Good choice of beers and friendly staff

Drink with a friend. The people have a meal and drinks there

As in all the pubs the food is very good, drinks are at a reasonable price.👍 Only thing ordered burger on menu says come with small chips. None on plate told U need to say if want them. 😕

Popped in for a quick lunch..fish and chips and a pint..excellent nicely cooked. Will be back for another..Peter G.

Had 3 hours to kill on a rainy day in Rainham. Found the railway pub and had a few breakfasts and many hot drinks for around 20 pounds. Thank goodness it was open.

Paid over £30 today for 2 Gourmet Steak meals and Gourmet it most definitely was not!! Cremated Steaks is what we were served and we tried eating them with their peppercorn sauce poured over them to kill the cremated taste but it wasn't possible. OFFICIALLY THE WORST STEAK I'VE EVER BEEN SERVED AND TASTED 🤢🤮

nice place to have a breakfast only let down small portions but helpful, pleasant staff ...

As a breakfast place it was fine. The menu choice was quite wide, and what was served was cooked okay. Prices as ever at a Weatherspoon's were very reasonable

Food A 3.7 small portion beans and scrambled egg let it down, good service. Atmosphere 3.5 which was pleasant for a 9.00am breakfast. Decent value would certainly go again.

Very inexpensive and located right by the train station

This pub is just outside the train station at Rainham a 1 minute walk and I had a quick drink and on to the next JD pub in Kent excellent service once again thanks

Has always been value for money, example, traditional breakfast £4.99. And good quality. Have been going there for years.

Fantastic Food exactly as you would expect from any other Wetherspoons, Good prices, good portions, great servers at this location, always friendly when i bring my family and very accepting of bringing my bike in!

Good spoons, great facilities and always clean and tidy!

Fantastic service, drinks and food brought to table in under ten mins when ordering via the app, I would recommend the Fish and Chips, great value for money.

Great little pub next to the Railway Station. They have screens showing the train times so you can keep an eye out for your train whilst enjoying a beer, coffee and good food. Nice atmosphere, service and staff.

As most of Wetherspoons, clean, tidy, Good choice of food and drink. Service excellent.

We have had breakfast and lunch at this bar/restaurant food is very nice generally, and the bar has a good selection of beer's and wine, and the staff at this wetherspoons are very good and very helpful and polite,perfect for breakfast before you get on the train, and just the job when you get off no need to cook when you get home 😀 😋 👍

As always, excellent service & good wholesome food 👍

Good food, amazing prices. Friendly service...can't ask for more.

Typical spoons, food and drinks ok, cheap ,v service can be a little slow during busy periods but generally ok.

The food and atmosphere was good 😎 Downside was the sticky tables, even when I asked, made no difference 😞

Nicely situated chain pub next to Rainham (Kent) station. Usual Wetherspoons stuff with the addituon of this, on draft, at the time of visit. Ironically, I don't believe they serve this offering at the Peter Cushing (Whitstable).

A great wetherspoons , good atmosphere

Very disappointed on this visit. Ordered food and drinks at the bar on entry and took the drinks to our table. Simple order for food (2 chicken wraps and 1 portion of chips). Ordered another 2 drinks after approx 30-35 minutes later on the app which arrived promptly so asked about the food. Apparently it had been taken down as done when it hadn't been! Eventually turned up but the chips were cold! Managed to find the member of staff that brought them to us and complained about them and he did get us a new portion that was hot although by then we had eaten the wraps! Definitely not one of the best Wetherspoons I have been in!!

A nice place next to the station, good service

Woman and man kicked us out of spoons because we swinge the lights and then the woman told us to stop so we did then the man stood there look at us then we laughed because we felt awkward then he told us to leave so we did but he followed us

A comfortable pub with helpful staff and friendly regulars. The food is the usual pub food that ranges from okay to surprisingly good and the variety of drinks is good as well

Great staff. Thanks for opening the disabled loo for my mate who had forgotten his key.

Great stop off on way to London for brunch . Eggs Benedict and Breakfast - first class and excellent value. - 👍

It's a Wetherspoon. It looks like one and it feels like one. Food is very hit and miss. Lately very miss.

Parking is the real issue here. Bit of a rush PH .better PH in the area and better wetherspoons.

Look, it's Weatherspoons. I wasn't expecting much other than (hopefully) hot and not cooked by me. Surprisingly, I had an awesome meal, rapidly served and really tasty. (Alfredo Pasta, 8" garlic bread and Salted Caramel Sticky toffee pudding) best meal I've had in a while! Good job The Railway!

Very pub, apart from the funky smell in one corner of the pub, and bugs flying into my pint of Black Ice Ale, again just in the funky smelling spot. 5* usually, but funky smells knock it down.

Probably the worst Wetherspoons I've been to and I've been to a lot. Bar staff are unaware and look like they don't care. Very open pub so lacks atmosphere. Food was good though

Well, what a place one of the best Wetherspoon I've been in very large inside made to feel welcome as soon as you arrive Same menu as we come to expect, but it seems somewhat different (in a good way ) Staff are very friendly atmosphere great facilities are the best I've seen in a spoons

Excellent table service, good atmosphere. Shame they don't play music.

As you would expect a Wetherspoons to be!

Great value for money. Really good steak. Can't beat it for value.

good but turn the heating down it’s too hot

Always an easy 3 for wetherspoons. The establishments are always great. Food is cheap and cheerful. Go for it

Never cease to be amazed at the value for money at the Railway it's a nice clean well presented pub/eatery the food is well cooked and served and the value for money is unbelievable in these tough financial times we visited weekday lunchtime and Saturday late afternoon and this review refers to these

Friendly staff, alcohol I ordered was given to the table!

Comfortable place, food delicious, well recommend.

Good JDW, did a nice breakfast, had Westons Old Rosie cider on. Quick meals service. Right next to the station.

Not a planned stop, but breakfast was good and friendly staff

An excellent, very large Wetherspoons

Didn't rate your fish it was turned up both ends not much fish

Staff very good value for money food was cooked perfectly.

Amazing, funny. good and beer drinks with good selection of beers, i liked the beer there and had a few pints of beer with my beer. will be back here for a few beers throughout the year.

After a pretty burned pretty empty panini was delivered to the table my friend found a staff member who replaced it with a fresh and super filled replacement. It felt like she really cared that my friend enjoyed her experience. We aren’t sure if her name but she was wearing kitchen uniform and red and black trainers. Thank you!!

It's a spoons, cheap cheerful food and budget booze. Place has the obligatory toothless tramp, bunch of divorced golf buddies sipping ale, a table full of young gents who must be handbag traders as they are always talking about 3 bags for 100 quid 😂, and a table full of cougars sipping pinot whilst waiting for the London train to go see a show for Sandra's 30th (ahem 40th) Birthday!

It's a Wetherspoon's so you know what to expect.

It's always good to have a local spoons nearby. Great guest ales at low prices.

Once again cold poached eggs with the eggs Benedict!!!

Good service, fair prices, clean environment.

Great spoons beside a train station what's not to like Tasty spoons food and cheap beer Bar staff friendly Lady who delivered food very grumpy and unfriendly so took a star off Wasn't that busy when we visited Really nice toilets

Staff were great. Didn't have food

2 of us called in here for a pint and ended up staying for a curry. The beer and cider was fine as was the curry especially when taking the price into account. The only thing that would put me off going again would be the service which is very slow!

Burnt bacon yet again. Its been burnt every time we have had breakfast

It’s a cozy pub, with nice Staff - Beer hits different and it is just good. Go here now for an amazing time with your Family, Friends or Spouse. I’ve been to alot of spoons, nothing comes close.

The usual great value for money food & drink. Busy Sunday lunch with friends.

Tables all dirty, slow service.

Lively and value for your money.

Great value for money staff fantastic

Ideal for stepping off the train and walking 50m for lunch

Lad with green shirt, shaved head with glasses was unbelievably rude to my partner and my five year old daughter, he threw her cutlery in the bin, couldn’t be bother to look for them and didn’t even apologise! He even threw plate of cheese slice in front of her angrily when my partner asked nicely for grated cheese and paid for it, I’m reporting that man to higher up and I want him fired !

Usually fairly busy. Food can be hit and miss. I think changes in kitchen cooks are the reason for quality or portion inconsistencies, but overall, it is not a bad place to relax for a drink and some grub.

Quick easy and best of all cheap

A very friendly and comfortable invoiroment.

Robert the unsung hero. food was mid but the service and pure bants provided by robert brightened the mood. Will definitely be returning.

A top notch spoons, although frequently overrun by teenagers and coffin dodgers

Very reasonably priced especially as January sale prices and table service was excellent.

Nice place to have a couple of pints

Nice same floor all way though ,

Went in for breakfast, which was good as far as it went but missing mushrooms, mentioned to staff but never received them!

Served by Robert, got order wrong, charged for Drink i never asked for, quite rude when i pointed it out, then spent 20 minutes giving me the Side eye, lucky i was with the wife or would have knocked the idiot into next week

First time at this pub and had a great meal and drinks at an affordable cost and the staff were very friendly and had a great atmosphere.

First TV time there,so not to impressed when I walked in a lot of tables full of dirty dishes but could be short staff, food good but small portions for the prices, but definitely will go back

Cheap and quick food. Good value for money on both food and drinks.

Great place, very large,so lots of choices where to sit.Staff always friendly and polite.Meals are good value,but portion size of chips could be larger! Gillingham railway traincrew use this pub for meet ups, retirement do's,as it is convenient for rail station.

Good pub friendly staff great prices

Nice atmosphere. Wasn't clicky

Next to railway station. Some vocal characters in when I visited but soon removed from the bar. Large sitting area and train time table on screen at the bar so you know when you're going to miss the train.

Excellent service and excellent quality food.

Exceptionally busy and a general buzz to the place... Good selection of beers with costs to suit all pockets

Went for a dinner. Gammon was lovely cooked, burgers also 5+

A quick breakfast at Wetherspoons is surprisingly decent at times. The Railway is bigger than you might expect and seems to be a breakfast favourite for locals. We just needed a quick, satisfying bite to keep us going. The sausage and egg Breakfast Muffin with additional unlimited tea and coffee hit the spot. An eat-in breakfast for two coming in at approximately £8 just can't be beaten. Was it any good? Well, you can't expect too much from a muffin, but it was perfectly decent with juicy sausage and a well-prepared egg that still had a little runniness to the yolk. Will we go back? Probably. There's plenty of space with options for table & chairs, comfy booths and barstool seating. It's quite light, the coffee is on tap and the service comes with a smile. The tables and cutlery were clean too. I'm sure The Railway can accommodate larger parties as well as threes and fours. Being right next door to the railway station, it makes for a decent meeting place for parties heading off on an adventure. I would make two observations. The first is that the toilets are upstairs. They're clean, but I wasn't quite sure about disabled access. Don't take that as a definite issue because I may have missed something downstairs. The other is more general. Plate clearing seems slow and there wasn't anywhere obvious to dump our rubbish or dirty dishes. I don't know about you, but once the food is eaten I prefer a clear table. That's just me being picky.

A decent Wetherspoons. Conveniently placed next to Rainham railway station, hence the name 'The Railway' it is nice and big, open planned with an extra outside place with additional seating for the warmer weather. The service was nice and quick and the food was also good. I opted for a Triple American Cheese and Bacon burger which was very tasty washed down with a pint of Leffe. As usual, fantastic prices and I think the pub is definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.

Went with a couple friends, and my 18 year son bought his first round! Good selection of draught beers, great price, friendly service, comfortable seating. All good- not brilliant, but good for a beet with some mates. Ps, Didn't try the food, so in fairness, can't rate it... yet.

Our family traditionally chooses the Railway for our celebratory gatherings, especially for birthday celebrations, and there are usually around 20 of us. This time, however, we had an unexpected encounter with an exceptionally rude bar staff member. Despite the usual accommodating atmosphere and good, affordable food, her behavior stood out negatively. Typically, the staff graciously allows us to rearrange tables to accommodate our large group. However, during this visit, we encountered a particularly obnoxious bar attendant. Despite our efforts to assist in managing the challenges of serving such a large party, her rudeness was quite surprising. The incident occurred when we realised there was one less mug at our table than we had ordered. When I politely approached the bar to address the issue, she insisted that she had brought the correct amount and dismissed the matter abruptly. I was taken aback by her lack of courtesy. Fortunately, another staff member, who seemed to be in charge, intervened and directed her to provide the additional mug. To my disbelief, her response was to slam the mug on the bar in a rather rude manner. This encounter left me shocked and compelled to share my disappointment with my family. Subsequently, my brother-in-law approached her, demonstrating that we had indeed paid for the drinks by showing her everyone's order on their phones. While she eventually apologised , I found it hard to fathom that such a reaction occurred over a simple request for a refillable coffee mug. Our visit was on Saturday, 4th November, at 9:30, and she was the sole staff member behind the bar. If I were the manager, I would strongly consider enrolling her in a customer service training course to improve her interactions with patrons.

This pub dining, food and drink restaurant is nice inside. The bathroom facilities are clean, tidy and modernised. Very nice. Food has variety and is reasonably tasty. Service was quick and friendly, both food and drink. Good value for price. It's comfortable and family feeling atmosphere.
