    Apart from the food and service being exceptional, the Goodland Jungle Juice DIPA was literally next level for this style. I had lamb shoulder and my 2 friends had steak. The sides, of note the roasted Broccoli were delish. The 12 year old Bunnahabhain Scottish single malt distilled on the rugged cost of Islay made for the perfect finish.

    Staff were very helpful for the large group we had booked for and easily accommodated a few extra people who came on the day. No issues at all with the pre-ordered meals. Was a simple process to book for a large group. All meals were great and the lunch time special was great value.

    We didn't eat at The Railway, we went for the Jazz/Blues Band with singer Yolanda Ingley which was great. Sunday afternoon session 4 - 6. Great. Lots of people in the front bar and in the beer garden. The vibe was good. Plus they sell Carlton Draught and Great Northern. Win, win, win.
