About this restaurant

  • Great for craft beers

  • Great for brunch
The Railway is a beautiful, traditional pub located at the heart of the market town of Ramsbottom, just a few miles from Bury. Situated on Bridge Street opposite Ramsbottom train station, the Railway is the place to be for live sport, a tasty meal, a cheeky pint after work or even to dance the night away!

Everything you'd expect from a great local pub.

    Our Boxing Day table was booked for 7.00 pm Arrived on time to be told they stopped serving food at 7.00 They rushed the order through, we had 2 mins to choose the food was so awful. After 8.00 pm drinks were served in plastic glasses,even our bottle of wine was poured into 2 pint glasses. I think that says it all about who they were expecting in the bar that night. If we had been told we would have left The noise of DJ belting out over the advertised premiership football that we had gone to watch (sky tv pub at least 6 screens) was one taking things to far. Not what you expect in Ramsbottom and definatley not what my family were expecting on Boxing Day Dreadful place should have read more reviews before

    Unhelpful chef would not speak to a party member who was Gluten free. Would not allow a gluten free slice of bread from elsewhere to be used as toast on a breakfast. Actual party size was 10. We all nearly walked out but our friend said not to on her account.

    We were there on a Sunday but unfortunately they only had gammon or lamb available for Sunday lunch. The menu had all the usual meats listed so this was disappointing. I would suggest ringing them first if Sunday lunch is why you are going there on a Sunday.

    Hi Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our Sunday lunch options did not meet your expectations. We do our best to offer a variety of meats, but occasionally availability can be limited. We appreciate your suggestion and will take it into consideration. Best regards, The Railway

    Great pub, great location, food very good value, and service not to bad,just needs a little more attention to the little things. Eg cutlery and condiments on tables would go a long way. Making waiting on a little easier. But well done keep it going. Food excellent.

    The service was the best but the chef was rude because she had to reopen the kitchen even tho we had a booking she closed early so she didn’t want to put the grill on to make a steak so we had to have buger instead

    Food dreadful and service horrendous, asked for a completely plain burger for my son, they brought it full of salad, sauce and cheese and insisted that was a “plain” burger and was quite rude to us. Sunday roast practically incinerated. Real shame as the actual building is very picturesque and a focal point, it could be an amazing pub.

    Sunday roast was no better than a microwaved frozen meal.
