We all had the same - duck. As usual, super service, great food. We're never kept waiting and never feel rushed, either. Thank you all.
Excellent service and enjoyable lunch, one of our three main courses (chicken leg) did not have much meat on it for the diner who ordered it.
This is such a fantastic pub. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great and the service is fantastic!! We had a lovely time as always!
Service and staff excellent. Presentation impressive but unfortunately all 4 of us were disappointed with the main courses which were either tasteless or too dry although in fairness extra sauce was provided. Deserts were very good. Rather disappointing as we'd had such a positive experience previously
3 of us had lunch and all enjoyed it very much. The only negative comment I can think of was that the cauliflower soup was a bit on the tepid side and we had no butter with the bread - I expect we should have asked for some. We will keep returning.
We started with bread and dips. The bread was soft and lovely. I had duck to follow which was very good. The accompanying rosti potatoes were wonderful although the leeks were slightly tough. Afterwards I had a pineapple tarte which was absolutely marvellous. The service and atmosphere was very good. I eat out principally to eat fish and the reason I didn’t rate the restaurant with a six was because of the restricted fish choice. Only salmon was available and I like to have something less ordinary.
Another lovely meal at The Railway, menu is varied and should suit all tastes, the Early Bird type menu is good value and a choice of 4 main courses. Waiting staff are good and you never feel overlooked.
band to noisy couldn't talk without raising voice Not happy with menu choices barely recognised the food offered disappointed bean there many times first time not impressed
Very good food, drink and incredible service. Some dishes I personally thought a little overpriced,but overall all a very pleasant experience. Would certainly recommend anyone to visit.
Wonderful atmosphere for Sunday lunch. Perfect roast dinner and a lovely dessert. All served attentively with a smile. If you’re looking for a great Sunday lunch, this is one of the nicest paces to eat in Nottingham. They do a good burger as well!
Food was great but the service let it down and I think it’s a bit expensive for Sunday lunch need more staff to make it better
Overpriced for a pub. Food was okay but not amazing. £8.50 for posh cheese on toast! Was tiny and hardly any cheese! no areas for a quieter meal as tables too close together. Felt like we couldn’t have a conversation without getting either table next to us involved.
Excellent food and service Been many times and keep going back. They are also innovative with great tasting and well presented dishes Highly recommended for everyone!
Food was lovely and the staff extremely attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. there is a strong wine list and they also have a gin cocktail list.
Excellent food and service. Main course was one of the best I've ever had! We were a party of six and everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they chose.
The ambience is pleasant, although we would have preferred a circular table as 6 of us felt slightly cramped where we were seated. The service was spot on and the food excellent.
This was our second time at the Railway and we had another great experience! Fantastic food, excellent service, really nice and friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere. Will be returning for more. Thank you
Lovely family pub,friendly staff and amazing freshly cooked food and a stone's throw from the train station, perfect. Thank you will defiantly be back in the summer.
great food.good atmosphere very freindly and attentive staff Definitely recommend excellent local Very handy for the Railway station within a hundred yards just perfect last word
Lovely food,like home cooking.Staff efficient and friendly and freely hold conversation.Surroundings relaxing with hints of bygone days. We are definitely going again .to be highly recommended.
Great food,Great service and a good selection of real ales in a lovely country pub . Would definitely recommend and will be back very soon.....
The food was very good, a cut above the average Sunday lunchtime fare, but the service could have been a little quicker especially as they did not seem too busy..
Good service and delicious food. Booking on line was easy and confirmation easy to follow. Would recommend this restaurant. My daughter thoroughily enjoyed her birthday
Excellent food and service. In spite of a packed house, we were seated and served with courtesy and thoroughly enjoyed Xmas Eve here. Merry Xmas
This restaurant has undergone a complete refit and looks good, feels good and yet retains its original concept of a railway pub with loads of memorabilia. The food is always excellent and viewable kitchen spotless.
Good friendly service. A bit of a wait for our table but then it is xmas. Food excellent, everything cooked perfectly, first time and won’t be our last. Thank you.
Great service and delicious food. Brilliant little pub tucked away in Lowdham. A must to visit. You can see why it's Pub of the year!
We had lunch at the Railway yesterday the main course was delicious and pudding naughty but very very nice and excellent service as always thank you
Excellent food as usual, good service and atmosphere, also excellent beer. Booking was easy and confirmation very efficient. Many good pubs and restaurants in the area but the Railway stands out.
My wife and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Railway . The staff were very courteous and efficient great selection of real ales and lovely ambience. We will definitely return!
I've eaten here twice and it has been very good both times. The service is great and the food is excellent and the place has a very nice atmosphere
Wonderful food and friendly staff. Food choice is good with a festive choice at this time of the year, both for main and dessert. Excellent.
Good service and good food. Nice atmosphere. Best xmas pudding I have had in a restaurant. Lots of people dining which is always a good sign.
Excellent food in very pleasant surroundings with great service would highly recommend. Good choice on the menu with food freshly prepared can’t wait to go again.
The food was excellent as was the service. The reason I have given it a 4 star is the restaurant was cold when we initially sat down and also towards the end of the evening. In between the other customers kept it warm! Another customer also commented on the room temperature who had eaten early doors. Unfortunately these things matter no matter how good your food and service may be.
Beautiful food, really special. Staff are friendly and service is good. Been for Sunday lunch normal lunch and dinner all are good. Kids menu is freshly cooked presented beautifully and the kids liked it.
10 of us enjoyed a Christmas Lunch Party Menu last week. From the moment we arrived service was excellent and cheerful. The food was very good, good choices well cooked and beautifully presented. a really enjoyable start to the season.
Booked a table for 4pm for Sunday lunch. We arrived on time, but had to 30mins for our table. Then quiet a wait to order pur meal, which took 20mins to arrive. The belly pork was cook beautifully, but only just hot and the roast potatoes and veg were barely warm. We did not complain at the time as we had a guest with us and didn't want to embrace him. We will try again and hopefully have a better experience.
Good food, good service, altogether a very good meal in very pleasant surroundings.what else is there to say. Keep up the good work. Will defenately be back
We were told to wait to meet the host, approx. 15mins later we had to ask a member of staff to be seated. Our table and the interior design of the restaurant area was lovely, very pleasant. We were left without menu's for another 15mins before we again had to ask for menu's. The mains were lovely in particular the steak was a big hit with my friend. The cheese board was by no means worth £8.95, 4 small cheese pieces no bigger than a laughing cow. The service very disappointing, the staff were helpful and friendly once you got their attention, just took along time to be acknowledged. Kindest Regards Sarah
We had a great evening the food was brilliant and staff really welcoming it’s a great place will definitely be going again I like it’s quirky features
Unfortunately, we hit the Christmas Lights 'turn-on' night, so it was very noisy. We all got rather cold, due to an icy blast from somewhere, probably doors being opened and shut, which was unfortunate. However, the service and food were EXCELLENT. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Next time we will book by telephone, to check we don't clash with any other major events. On the whole, a lovely evening, thank you.
Came for lunch and the four of us really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. The service was excellent and the set menu was imaginative. Will certainly return.
There was a party of 4 of us and we found the service to be very efficient and friendly. The food was superb and the portions were substantial. Thank you.
Can't fault anything. Food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic. If you're looking for a great dining experience then look no further. We're looking forward to going again!
Food excellent although starter not quite what I expected. The sea bream and cod were both excellent. Service a little slow otherwise it would have got the full 6
Food, service and staff excellent. Shame about the screaming child which drowned out some of our conversation! Would like the bread used for the sandwiches to be much thinner. Otherwise all very good.
amazing food, fantastic staff......just wish I lived closer x more than just pub food....ive eaten in rosette restaurants that were not as good- keep up the good work x
Lovely staff and freshly cooked and tasty ,interesting food. We were moved table when we requested without a demure. We would go again, my friends have also recommended
