| One of the female bar staff working in here was English when I last visited. She probably still is English. The bar smells. They should clean the cloths they use to wipe down the bar - or else re-introduce smoking to hide the smell. A rare point of interest is the vacinity of the overhead alfresco heaters to a customer's head when standing outside. You can get a pretty decent tan in 10 minutes or so. I don't really have an opinion on this place in the same way I don't really have an opinion on the newsreader, Alistair Stewart. It's just a bit boring. Like my afternoon has become today.... zzzz. steveruss - 20 Jun 2008 15:46 |
| Went with 15 colleagues for early Christmas lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the new Railway Tavern. The updated decor is modern and comfortable without being too avant-garde or minimal. The carvery was good, with several roasts on offer even on a Tuesday. Roast beef looked a little well done for my taste, but turkey and gammon was fine. Vegetables were not overdone as is often the case in this type of place. Having been thoroughly disappointed by the quality at a Toby carvery recently - the Railway exceeded my expectations for the price. Puddings, although fairly standard fare, were light and nicely presented. One waitress coped very well and politely with all of us. Portions more than generous. All in all a very pleasant meal, excellent value for £12 for two courses exc. drinks. Good choice of wines, lagers and decent beer (Bombardier) on tap. I agree with the writer below to ignore 'anonymous' who is evidently talking about somewhere else. If this pub can keep up the good work, I'll go again. Chevalon - 20 Nov 2007 17:03 |
| Sounds like sour grapes "Anonymous" (18/10/07), I wander exactly what you mean by "pikies and riff raff" you don't sound too hot yourself. I would urge everybody looking at this not to take any notice of "anonymous'" gripe - sounds like somebodies upset him. Since it's refurbishment, the Railway is a very pleasant place for all the family (I think, having said that I don't recall seeing children there). It's tastefully decorated, big and airy. The staff are friendly and professional. There are areas in the bar to eat and areas to lounge, there's a large restaurant and there is a large smoking area outside for those who wish to smoke, which has patio heaters. There are also a couple of big screens for those football occassions(!) (I'm not a fan of football but having the screens have not been overbearing on the times I've been there, as people tend to congregate at one end of the pub to watch it). We have eaten from the bar menu and food on the whole has been very nice although I've not enjoyed the chips very much. We've not eaten in the restaurant but the cavery looks good and friends that have eaten there have enjoyed it. We plan to go there for lunch this afternoon. Before it's refurbishment, following a fire, I rarely went into the Railway, I found it very male orientated, dark, dingy, smokey and unfriendly. It is now attracting a different clientele - couples, families, female groups and older people. I think its great and I'm very happy to now have somewhere decent to go which is more or less on my doorstep. The Black Horse, which is few minutes up the road on the bridge by the canal, is also a great place to go, although I've never been particularly happy with the food there. jcgreenford - 28 Oct 2007 14:20 |
| what a dive. Foods crap, its too dark in there, always full of pikies and riff raff. Some old geezer who works there, i think he thinks he is the manager but apparently he's the assistant manager...how sad. Also was told by a regular he tells everyone how great the place is but spends most of his time trying to fit in with the regulars at another local pub where the staff hate him coz he bangs on about how great 'his' pub is when they all know its shit. stupid arse. Whoever set fire to the place had the right idea. anonymous - 18 Oct 2007 01:29 |
