Rail House Café

Heaters not working doesn’t make for a pleasant outdoor dining experience. Our waitress was lovely and the food was quite nice on the other hand.

Food was good but portions were quite small (especially full English) for the price.

Very expensive for the small portions. Waitress was rude.

Our mael has been good but not amazing. The truffled mac and cheese was without truffle, the seaweed flavor was too much strong standing above everything. The sourdough roll has been the best thing with a delicious tahini butter. The kale really really salty and I complained for that. The ambience too much noisy, it has been very hard to have a chat. I don’t think I want to come back.

Excellent. Only negative was the steak in the tasting menu was fatty and not cooked to the desired taste (very raw for a medium request). Otherwise, great value, lovely food, perfect service

Very nice food but the skewers are really small portions and overpriced.

Outdoor terrace was too cold

Food was delicious and customer service was perfect!

Rail House is a lovely place to meet friends and family! Although the atmosphere is not the same so hopefully things can get back to normal soon.

friendly atmosphere with prompt and friendly service.

Very cozy and beautiful place, very efficient and kind service. Good cooking, I ordered scrambled eggs for my taste a little overcooked, but with a good taste.

Disappointed with the food as I received a really small portion of bread which was half the size of my friend who ordered the same meal. I also ordered the eggs on toast as I saw another guest having it but again my portion was significantly smaller

The service at the time was great, however I was slightly apprehensive when I received a call ahead to say I could change my booking to inside and say I was from the same household bubble even though I wasn’t. Hence the outside booking. I would visit again, however I wanted to feedback on this experience.

Many thanks

Overall the service was brilliant. All of the staff were so nice, happy and accommodating. A great feeling in these times.

Nice place never been there before. Good tasty food, nice portions abs atmosphere and service was responsive and friendly. Thanks!

Lovely service, chicken curry was superb! Quiet but still good atmosphere.

Lovely venue, friendly and helpful staff and really great food! Would 100% recommend.

The food was lovely and the whole atmosphere was better than expected, given covid/masks etc.

Loved the atmosphere and buzz. Enjoyed my kedgeree, but found out I was the only one who really enjoyed their dishes. According to guests Coconut chicken was too sweet, Dahl was just ok and too much sauce on the Pork Belly.

Had a lovely brunch. Will be back. Service and food was great!

I often go to the riding house And never had negative feedback. This was a second time here and this time our table was not ignored however I was quite upset in seeing the chefs not wearing a mask. For the price I would Have expected a more attentive service .

The food is pretty average and we were kicked out after 1 hour. I think they should give a 2 hours window at least.

Amazing and good value tasting menu + Good service from the staff = thoroughly enjoyable dinner with friends.

I can’t fault the venue or the staff but the food we ordered was underwhelming to say the least.
The chicken skewers me and my friend had to start was overcooked and dry.
For the mains all three of us opted for the cheeseburger with bacon. The patty was under seasoned and dry and the bacon was akin to cardboard.
We didn’t take a chance on dessert.
Maybe the COVID measures and early closing was a factor, but overall very disappointing,

Great venue, great food! Had the tasting menu which was very generous and ordered wine by the carafe (500ml) which is nice rather than having to choose between a glass or a bottle. Lovely! Worth going.
We did get rushed out as soon as we finished eating so had to quickly finish our wine. The slots are only an hour and a half but it was fine as long as you keep that in mind while your eating/drinking.

Good service and good food!

Rail house cafe never disappoints, great food, brilliant service

My lunch at Rail House Café was nice and the staff were friendly, but I didn't feel much had been done in respect of social distancing. It felt like a busy restaurant in pre-Covid times, with tables close together. I don't think I'd go back here as I didn't feel very comfortable.

Food is so average for the price... my toast was burnt and poached eggs overcooked, friend's food was basically inedible.
Would only recommend for drinks as the setting is nice, service is slow but friendly enough.

great place , great staff.We were seated exactly when the time was due, the staff is so friendly, the food was delicious ( I recommend the mac and cheese) you have enough time to stay there nearly 2 hrs we spent,

Good tentative service, food was good although a limited menu and a little expensive for what it was.

Disappointed by the food but staff very friendly. Restaurant was v busy.

Good place to go to for brunch. Service was great, food and drinks came very quickly. Food was lovely.

The only issue (and only in the current climate) was that the area where we were sitting felt very enclosed and so it felt like there were quite a lot of people in the area when all the tables were full. Just made it slightly uncomfortable.

The food was ok, a bit cold.
I was mostly disappointed that the staff didn’t seem to be aware of the new covid-19 regulations such as having to wear a mask when walking around the restaurant. We were not briefed on any of this and when I actually asked our waitress she said she didn’t think it was necessary, that she didn’t know.
I felt uneasy about it and will not go back for this reason.

Great service; great cocktails - well organised for coronavirus regulations - food was great, although the restaurant ran out of some dishes. Recommend the squid!

Food and cocktails were amazing as was service. Only small problem was when I received a call from the restaurant asking if I would be attending my booking whilst sat at my table eating my food. I understand mistakes happen but was just kinda weird.

Fun night with friends but a little noisy to catch all of the conversations. Food was delicious - loved the artichoke dip especially but fish dish was very boney. Overall good night out and good for a quick easy bite after work.

Very unhappy with the service.
Got to the café on Monday afternoon at 1. 15. My friend and I sat outside and ordered drinks. We were pressure into getting drinks ( we were not too bothered by that). However when we decided to order to food the waiter mentioned that the kitchen was closed. I informed him that he failed to share the information. He then mentioned that kitchen was closing between 3 PM- and 5 PM and that was quiet obvious! I am still trying to understand what is obvious about that.
My friend and had to leave the café to find another restaurant to get food. Which ruined the moment. The waiter, attitude was very disappointing .
He seemed like he did not enjoyed being there. We had to look for another waiter to pay the bill as the other waiter was no were to be find. All he could have done is sharing the information from the moment we sat down. This is not OK!

It was the last day of the extended Dine out to Help out, so got extra value for the very enjoyable lunch. For the three of us the very helpful waitress suggested the tasting menu which had 8 items plus one from the main menu which was more than enough for the three of us. The food was excellent and well presented and we only had room for just one dessert to try out between us.

Food was a bit disappointing, especially considering the prices.

Waitress forgot our order in the meantime the kitchen closed so we didn’t get to order the rest of our food. No salt/pepper on tables. But....half price offer makes it more palatable! Prob won’t go back for a while
