A high standard pub with a nice interior and wood and glass dining room extension filled with natural light. Large garden with lots of tables. Tasty food that was far more adventurous than standard pub fare. Right next door to Thatchers Brewery. Quiet on a Monday lunchtime. Would happily return
I was very pleasantly surprised by this as pubs usually mess up with steaks, but they cooked this really well! It was in a deal steak and cider for £20 which I thought was such good value for money, especially with the endless selection of thatchers they had on offer! The interior was also beautiful!
Visited the Railway Inn after the Thatchers tour. The restaurant was stunning inside. The drinks were excellent quality and the mains were good. We were, however, let down by the long wait for food and slow service (it would've been nice to have just one person serving us instead of 4/5). The desserts were also a let down and not worth the money paid (£8 for 4 not great petite fours was overpriced). That said, they had people waiting for tables so it will never be a problem. Think we would return for drinks as it would be nice to sit in the garden in the summer with a nice refreshing glass of cider.
Fantastic modern pub/ restaurant, run by Thatchers. The food is very good and well priced. The staff are friendly and attentive. Of course the reason to really come here is the Thatchers cider, with many of their varieties on tap, and more in bottles. They also serve other brands, such as Guiness, as well as wine. I would definitely recommend the 3 glass flight, giving you the opportunity to try a few out!
