Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive. The food though was terrible. There were five in our party and three of the meals were awful. The lamb shoulder was inedible and was all fat and gristle and was sent back. The two schnitzels were so over cooked and very dry. The chips were only luke warm. Overall, a very disappointing meal. Such a shame as the last time I was there it was very good.

Yet again the Railway did not disappoint! Their steak nights are one of the best. My parents are visiting from overseas and took them to experience. Delicious! The team are also extremely attentive and nothing was too much, thank you again!

Lovely time spent here Mother’s Day. Service was great, food came out quickly. My mum said she had the best Seafood Pasta she’s ever had..she’s 85 and it’s her go to meal every time we go out! The ladies had a complimentary drink and they gave us a box of chocolates to take home. Overall lovely experience.

Again another night with exceptional service and fantastic food! Went for my partners birthday. Just let then know now in advance so we had a nice table. Not only did they do that, they also did a dessert with a candle on their own backs! That extra touch really makes the evening!! Thank you. And we’ll be back as always!

Although the staff were lovely, the food was awful. Two of the people in my party bought the gnocchi, which was severely undercooked and had absolutely no flavour. The garlic bread we had for the table also seemed to have been sitting out for quite some time. The music level was much too loud for that early in the evening as well.
