Loved it.

Best pub in Devon. Favourite for excellent home cooked food, good proper ales and wine, and local craic. All served with a smile (and by modern standards, a modest bill). Full marks to Burt and Claire. Proper!

Great find - a proper pub! Really affable landlord, good beer kept well (Teignworthy Reel Ale and Avocet from Exeter Brewery) and good food at a price rather lower than we're used to in Hampshire! Friendly serving staff too. All four of us really enjoyed both starters and mains (and puds for the girls!). I wasn't expecting the peppered squid starter to be anything special, but it was nicely cooked, and a lot more succulent and tasty than the normal 'battered rings' that most places serve - guess it was a nice fresh squid that had been prepared on site? Definitely pop in again next time in the area...

Friendly landlord who is keen to discuss the history of the pub, if you ask him about it. Lots of interesting photos. Great food & a fantastic range of cask ales. They only accept cash though, so please check before purchasing anything.

Great welcome friendly landlord and staff. Food was fabulous and good value. Super cask ale. One point to note when we were there (May 2023) it was cash only - no cards, so check if likely to be a problem.

It was o.k. but try to avoid eating in the bar area, can be very noisy.

Had dinner here last night with friends and we'll definitely go back. Food was great, service was friendly and attentive and most of all it was busy with a fabulous atmosphere. Thank you The Railway, great job.
