The Railway Tavern — Restaurant in Bristol

WARNING - We'd been ordering food from The Railway Tavern for many years as a healthy alternative to normal take away food. However, we'd ordered today though and wow, were we in for a bad surprise!...

Although the driver was friendly, the food was terrible quality (as you'll see from reviews on Just eat), cold and the portions were absolutely tiny for the price, especially compared to what they used to be. IF YOU'RE A TYPE 1 DIABETIC LIKE ME, BE CAREFUL AND HAVE LESS INSULIN if you want to experience the shockingly poor new standards for yourself.

As our group got split up for a little bit; I came in to that pub & one of my friends already inquired about vegan options. They had none. However! Chef made the most beautiful cauliflower steak ever! With all the trimmings too!!! I sat there eating my “roast” with my friends. Btw, everyone in our group of 6 were delighted with their meals. And I’ve already suggested that place to others; and I’ll definitely...
