We wanted somewhere to celebrate our friends 60th, we live in Gloucestershire and don't know the pubs around the Nottingham area. This pub was recommended to us. Our meals were all excellent, staff were friendly and efficient and the railway has a lovely atmosphere. We would definately return when in the area and would recommend.

Excellent Sunday Roast and great service. Beef perfectly pink and amazing roast potatoes. Would have liked mash to have been included but you can order as a side.

Usual pleasant experience overall but the roast beef was not cooked as requested and was quite tough. This was our first visit on a Sunday. All previous visits have been in the evening and the food and service on those occasions were excellent.

early doors food was excellent,though I'd question the "Crispy" description for the Whitebait! My only complaint would be the choice of meals was too small on both menus

This was our first visit to The Railway but will not be our last. The food was delicious the service exemplary and the ambience delightful would recommend this pub. The only downside for us is having a television in the bar area but they have to please those who want it.

It was our first visit to the Railway at Lowdham. We had pre booked on line and our table was ready when we arrived. Attentive, friendly staff who knew the menu. Food was excellent and the sticky toffee pudding was probably the best I have had. A comprehensive none pretentious wine list, with wine being offered by the glass. An excellent lunch time experience. We will go again and fully recommend it to friends.

Welcoming,efficient service , cosy dining area and delicious reasonably priced food-what's not to like? Fixed price menu good value; my husband had whitebait ( fresh ) followed by lamb's liver with chorizo. I had salmon with celeriac and leeks from the a la carte-both well presented and full of flavour. Didn't try the desserts on this occasion however the selection was tempting. Finished with excellent coffee and macaroons-perfect! Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Service good initially but difficult to get attention once meal was served. My meal was cold & had to be sent back. Rest of my party had finished their meal when it was returned. Veg serving inedible. Couldn't get my knife into the parsnips they were so undercooked. In fairness after the complaint about the veg, they did knock off the cost of my meal. I think something should have been offered before the second complaint however. It was not enjoyable eating my meal with the other 3 people watching me. Drinks & desserts very expensive. I was shocked by the size of the bill! Also on paying by card, was left with the machine for several minutes as the waitress disappeared. My son knew how to complete the transaction so he did & we left without any further contact with the waiting staff. Will not be returning here.
