The Railway Inn, while working near the small and accepting town of Fairford, became a frequented spot for myself and many of my colleagues. They embraced us and we embraced them.
Onward to the meat and potatoes of this review, sorry I mean Bangers and Mash.
If you're looking to have a pint and a nice scene for it all. Well look no further. Bitter, Stout, Ciders, and the like are all on tap here. The variety is there as well because once a keg is tapped. It's on to the next of many a wonderful beer. If a pint isn't in order then have a scotch, gin, or something fancier.
The Railway is a nice little pub, but it isn't just about the beer.
Their menu is extensive as well, and during my many visits I was able to make my way through most.
They have their version of many a classic English dish from the Gloucester Old Spot Sausage, Mash with local Greens all the way through to the Beer-Battered Fish, Pea Purée, Tartare Sauce and Chips.
Most if not all of it was house made. Nothing from a box here and you could tell.
As much as I was about the classics. I'd have to say it was The Railway Burger that was my constant. It was superb...served medium rare with greens, cheddar, and smoked bacon... and a horseradish sauce that just brought it all together.
I'd be remiss if I ended my Yelp here, because it was the people of the Railway and the locals that made this place awesome. Jo and her staff were great hosts and always made us feel welcome. (Even when we came in overwhelming droves.) As did our friends that we made while enjoying some of the best that Fairford had to offer.
As I stated at the beginning it was our go to for all things Fairford. They welcomed us and our ways, and in the end we did the same. read more
