About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

Step into 1st floor RAILS Restaurant for a buzzy and relaxed dining experience. Expect a great modern British-French grill with succulent meat, fish and vegetable dishes served with sauces and sides, and the best moments from a Parisian brasserie menu, not to mention interiors.

Frenchie cocktails and digestifs top off the occasion from the adjoining Little Bar, wrapped in William Morris wallpaper dressed in eclectic art.

In addition, GNH Bar and Terrace, a bustling and welcoming space, blending British heritage with world influences welcomes you downstairs on the street level. The GNH Bar is open every day from 9am to 11pm.

Upon arrival, we were immediately welcomed by the friendly host and shown to our table. We were offered water (still, sparkling or tap); this took some time to arrive, but got there in the end. For starters, I had the gin-infused salmon tartare and my husband had the rabbit roulade; both were excellent. We shared the beef wellington for main course; this was nicely presented and cooked to perfection. All of this was washed down with a decent selection of wines by the glass. We shared a dessert; my husband's coffee arrived to go with it, but they forgot the glass of dessert wine I ordered. The surroundings were pleasant. The 'very good' rating is well-deserved; the two slight hiccups with the service bring them just short of 'outstanding'.

Our party of 7 people really enjoyed our experience at Rails. The food is excellent and the choice is great. The ambience and decor is fabulous and provided us with a pleasant space to meet our friends. Most of the party were from London and used to fine dining. They were very impressed and we will return.

We went on Mother's day and had the sunday roast menu. The food was decent but not outstanding - the standard menu was much better when we last had it. Drinks were reasonably priced and there was a good selection. The seating is nice but kind of hard to get in and out of the booth. The venue is overall attractive and staff pleasant. Service was very slow and we struggled to get attention
