| Surprised by the medium/low score. I love this place. Staff are adorable, food is great, atmosphere is always perfect, location is perfect and whenever we get good weather, they have a nice little roof terrace. Nice live sets or quiz nights, just a perfect pub in my eyes. londonanon - 17 Nov 2011 17:34 |
| By far the best pub in Blackheath. Really friendly and efficient staff and the manager is a legend. Had a large family gathering in the pub on a busy bank holiday Sunday and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Our large group was catered for exceptionally well and at short notice. Everyone praised the food, service and location which made the special occasion even more special and memorable. Our group were very impressed with the range of draught ales and we didn't find them expensive. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pub to anyone and given the friendliness and efficiency of the staff I would much prefer to visit The Railway on a busy evening, than some of the other pubs in the area. The staff really made an effort (or maybe it just comes naturally) to make us feel really welcome and ensured we all had a great day. My experience of other pubs in the area is that the staff can be arrogant and complacent because of the location of the pub, mess up food orders etc, but it was very reassuring to visit The Railway and have everyone enjoy themselves without any problems. A huge thanks to the manager and his staff. MPJ1 - 31 May 2011 10:52 |
| I completely agree with race-faster. I live in Blackheath but now drink in Cutty Sark Wetherspoons as it is the only place you can get a decent pint at a decent price. Glasgowboy - 25 Feb 2011 10:43 |
| Couldn't complain about finding a couple of new beers (for me) on tap - Copper Dragon (from Skipton) and a random one from Abergavenny (if memory serves right, although doubt it does) - plus perennial favourite Landlord. The pay-off, though (no pun intended), is that the drinks are very expensive. Visiting around 5.30pm on a Saturday, the place was already pretty busy, and was soon standing room-only. Music loud enough to make conversation slightly strained. Also had the joy of having to shift tables, as once we'd sat down, someone came along with a 'reserved' sign. Handy for the station but not somewhere I would spend huge amounts of time again. duchyjim - 24 Jan 2011 11:46 |
| I know that place more than 10 years, good atmosphere but since the new manager walk in he doesn'n know to make the difference between good customers and bad people. So the pub is losing few customers fo Good. kind Regards Richard Vallery richarddine - 31 Dec 2010 16:22 |
