Railway Inn — Restaurant in England

We visted today and are only in the area to visit longleat tomorrow and after a long drive to the area we wanted some classic english fayre/pub classics and this place on google, menu looked good, with a good variety and prices where brilliant too. A warm greeting by what I presume is the landlord with some classic dad jokes lol. Had to wait for the chef to come of her break which we didn’t mind, we had a game of pool and would’ve played darts had we bought ours with us lol. the place is very clean and tidy inside and out. The menu has a great choice of items and at fantastic prices aswell. Service and food was great, arrived in good time and piping hot, portion sizes were spot on too and we all cleared our plates including my 5yo and thats rare. Not a single complaint from our party of 5. We were only table in there eating and none of us can understand why, hopefully just a one of as i think it...

It's clearly early days in the reopening and renovations, as the place is slightly run down currently. A quick stop and bite to eat with the kids. The beer garden was again slightly run down. Sadly the bouncy castle for the kids wasn't up the day we came.

Food and drinks were reasonable priced, some items weren't available but that didn't pose much of an issue.

The burger and chips I had were surprisingly good.

However, the tray there were served on was filthy dirty. As seen in the pictures.

The kids chicken nuggets and fish fingers were also good, however, the kids pizza ordered was not really up to much. It was like them 1.50 micro pizzas - but oven cooked. Sadly my child didn't enjoy it so left it.

Not a prime destination currently, but the friendly staff warrant a return visit after completion of updating to judge it fairly.

A place to watch... Could...

We stayed here for our first night camping in our campervan. The food was good, the pub was quiet albeit for a few local however where this pub came into its own was the staff. They were all super friendly, lovely to talk too and accomodating.

We were on of their first campervan customers and felt very welcome. Carpark is a good size and is very quiet which was nice to get some sleep. My only thing I would mention is that the only toilets are inside and they are not accessible post 11pm and they reopened at 12 midday the next day. The landlady though did say that she would open the doors around 9:30/10ish in the morning and move to those hours when the weather improves for the summer. A consideration perhaps for those who campers do not have loos (Like ours).

Other than that, we felt welcome and hosted and will be returning again.

Thanks...
