Testimonials

"On the way back to our Botley hotel, we stumbled across this Pub, it had a great atmosphere, busy and vibrant, good food which was well prepared and delicious, the waiter service was also excellent, highly recommendable."

Cuppa54, TripAdvisor | February 2018

 

"Having had family arrive unannounced, we needed to find lunch that could cope with dietary needs. Coeliac and others. Not only ate the staff incredibly efficient, they do this with ease and finesse. A very calm warm atmosphere. The food was perfect and plentiful though not overwhelmingly huge. Our table of 7&1/2 all had a wonderful meal and an enjoyable chilled afternoon. Thank you to every single member of staff."

Karla B, TripAdvisor | February 2018

"Decide to come here for lunch with my parents for my Dad's birthday and we were certainly not disappointed. I have the crab and a king prawn starter which was cooked perfectly and the flavours were all balance. And for mains had the lamb which was again beautifully cooked. The portions were also spot on all washed down with Railway ale. My family were also very pleased with theirs."

Phill C, TripAdvisor | February 2018

"I recently visited the Railway Inn with a small group of friends. This is the second time I have visited and I was hugely impressed again. The staff were friendly and courteous and our meals all cooked and prepared flawlessly. It’s fast becoming our favourite place to eat!"

Alex M, TripAdvisor | February 2018

"We love the Railway Inn, very cosy, can bring the dog, staff are so friendly and helpful and the chef is just amazing! Such high quality food every time. We go often and have taken family who are really into food, partners dad being a chef and they had no complaints it really is amazing and we will continue to come back!"

Rachel B, TripAdvisor | February 2018

"Great staff an inventive menu, good size meals and good gin. The pub is very welcoming and warm in these cold months lots of lovely things to choose from."

Marijke E, TripAdvisor | February 2018

Absolutely faultless in every way, and believe me I wouldn't use that term lightly. The food is glorious, the location is wonderfully quaint, and the interior is cosy yet not oppressive, which you often find in other pubs of the sort. But the best thing about this pub is the staff. They are just the most friendly, welcoming and gorgeous people ever.
