Railway Inn — Restaurant in South Derbyshire

Our friends booked us in today to try the carvery. Never been here before as its out of town for us, but my god, we are coming back. This is probably the best carvery I've ever had. Myself and two others opted for the large plate which was about £12-13 and we were stunned at the platter size plates. It is proper home cooked food, the meat was delicious and of a high quality, and cooked perfectly. You get proper portions of it too. The veg was amazing, particularly the cauliflower/broccoli cheese, the leek and cabbage, and the roast vegetables. But it's often the little touches; the inclusion of a plastic spoon for a toddler (never get that anywhere), being made to feel welcome by the staff, who were excellent, friendly and helpful and know how to pull a decent beer. Also, it was explained that little goes to waste, being used as feed for the animals outside.

Amazing job Railway Inn, we...

What a fantastic carvery!! Great Pub with friendly staff and is also dog friendly in the bar. The carvery was absolutely amazing and was my choice against many other carveries in the area. The food was of exceptional quality and the plate sizes were extremely generous. I had a large plate and it defeated me. In fact i ate more veg than meat. The standard would have done me. The prices for the carvery beat any other local carveries. Good parking next to the park. But put your car reg in when you enter the pub. The pedigree bitter was also exceptional quality too. It also has a great outdoor area too and very good for kids. Highly...

Such a lovely little pub. We were driving past after a visit to a local family attraction when we stopped for a drink. We were welcomed by staff behind the bar and I'm assuming the couple that ran it, were also in the Main Bar area and were very welcoming. We were served quickly and the beer was good and reasonably priced! We had a flick through the menu on our table which was presented beautifully , whilst we didn't eat on this occasion we will definitely be back for food....what we saw being served looked and smelt incredible! Well Done Railway Inn. We hope to...
