"We normally eat at night but while we were out sightseeing in an area we had never been to in Essex we came across a great Public house with an excellent Restaurant. The Railway Pub in Witham has a massive car park which for us was great as we have large car, when we got inside the Bar area was quite snug taking into account that Covid has made it impossible for people to sit too close. We had only called in for a drink and a snack at lunchtime but having looked at the Menu we decided to have an early dinner, We shared a starter of Ginger Lemongrass Chicken Skewers (as watching our waistlines which were so nice we wished we had ordered two, for her mains my wife had Lasagne served with garlic bread while I had Scampi chips, both meals were excellent and the Landlady Sylvia who brought our meals out made a friendly change from most places. like the whole Menu there was a good choice of Desserts, again we to save on calories shared a Lemon Tart with sweet butter pastry and ice cream. All the above was topped off with a large glass (or two of white wine I was so glad my wife had passed her driving test :"

Really tasty Sunday lunch and the beer was good. Bar staff very pleasant and helpful. And we could even watch the football on the TV, although there were non-TV areas if we didn’t want to see it.

Popped in here for a pint of bitter and a sandwich but was advised they had no draught beer!! Only lager. The cheese sandwich was well made and nicely presented. A bit disappointing after looking at some good reviews.

Tried to visit twice in the week and could not get in as they allow commuters to park for free in the week so went in town to eat instead, did eventually get in at a weekend, waited a fair while for the food but when it did arrive it was OK, hot and steak cooked as ordered.

Took 45 minutes to get served, maybe understaffed that day, but they did apologise for the delay, and the food when it came was good enough. 'Specials ' on the board not available, nor some menu options. Chilly inside. Convenient carpark, convenient for the railway station. View menu

I enjoy attending Wednesday quiz night at this restaurant. The £1 fee is definitely worth it. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The menu offers a great variety of food at reasonable prices. The wait for food can be a bit long, but it always tastes delicious. I highly recommend paying a visit!

We chose The Railway as the location for a funeral wake. I would like to express gratitude to the landlady and staff at the pub for ensuring the event was a success. The pub is well-managed, with excellent service. They provided a buffet and allowed us to use the facilities for a pie and mash supper. The beer was of good quality and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend paying them a visit.

Is there any chance of getting a beer?! I stopped by for a couple of drinks on a Sunday afternoon after shopping. It felt like the server was bothered by my presence. There were only about 6 other people in the entire place. I placed my order but left after 15 minutes without receiving my drink. It's a shame because the pub is so close to my house. I've had the same problem before with the same server - if you're not a regular, don't expect to get served! View menu

We decided to try this pub instead of the better-known Battesford Court (Wetherspoons) pub in the high street that we 'd visited several times before. Well the outside is fine but now we know why The Railway has only two customers propping up the bar. The welcome was more 'What are you doing here, I suppose I have to get you something? '. I don 't think the sole person on duty managed a smile once. The food was decent enough for the price but it just wasn 't a happy place.

Popped in for a meal after a day out in london as it was close to the station. Had a gin and tonic that had the smallest tonic ever in so was undrinkable, ordered a burger and a chicken curry. Took absolutely ages to come out even though we seemed to be the only ones eating. The curry was ok.. not much chicken but tasted ok, naan bread was basic supermarket type, popadum was covered in oil so didnt eat that; i dont think it was homemade curry. Burger was 2 thin dry greasey burgers in a bun, the cheese wasnt melted. It came with a nice side salad which was the best bit of that meal. Very basic.. no extras like relish, onion rings, bacon, etc. Chips were ok.. for £9.50 you expect a decent burg...

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
