The Railway

About

Great local pub serving food until 10pm, fantastic range of Ales, spirits and wines as well as unbelievable offers and the best local quiz you will find!

Story

The Railway Pub has long been a part of Formby, as it is situated right next to Formby train station we really are the gateway into the town center.

We have a huge range of fantastic gastric options ranging from reasonably priced day, evening and childrens' set menus, to our delicious Sunday menu and we even buffet menus for those special occasions.

We hold two quizzes a week one on Mondays and our more unconventional 'Bingo Quiz' on Wednesdays that really draw in a crowd!

As well as our extensive range of food we also hold host to a multitude of Ales that change almost weekly to keep out CAMRA and keen ale enthusiasts taste-buds tingling! Along side our ever popular lagers, ciders and bottled drinks we also have a wide range of red, white and rose wines to keep every member of the family happy.

We're open all throughout the week, so next time you're in the local area pop in and see what offers, food and drinks we can provide you with!

Came here at the end of our walk. It's a very convenient place for a pint as it is right next to the railway station where we get the train home. I have eaten here a few times on previous occasions and always got the 3 course daytime special they do for around £12 which is excellent value for money. Today we had the Fisherman's Catch and Sticky Toffee pudding. They also have a reasonable range of beers.
I came here with my family and as soon as you walk in you feel the relaxed, welcoming and friendly atmosphere, staff were efficient and communication was great. I'm not normally a fan of a pub Sunday roast but I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was and amazed the roast potatoes where soft and crispy and not rock hard and cardboardy like l have had elsewhere. Definitely go back and recommend eating and drinking here.
Food and service were alright. They have vegetarian and plant based options marked clearly on the menu.nnWe came here for a late lunch, and there was not much of a crowd, nor was it completely empty either.nnThe place is dog friendly, but they request that the dogs be well behaved. They also take reservations.
Overall we enjoyed our visit especially as we had a voucher for 50% off main meals. We had booked a table by the fireplace but on arrival we were unable to find our reserved table. We asked the staff about this to be told people come in and take the reserve sign away and sit on the table. I am not sure how your staff can prevent this happening. We therefore had to sit at a table we would not have chosen as it was very busy. Unfortunately one of us wanted Hand carved ham which was not available so having entered our meals and drinks on the till we had to cancel the transaction as we had to check back with the person at the table for an alternative. Could any items not available be listed and pinned to the menu on the tables. The staff were good and the atmosphere was good. Also the food so we will be coming again.
We visited The Railway on a Saturday afternoon, and our table was booked online. Upon arrival at about 12 noon, our table had been reserved. However, we were still able to select any of the free tables available, which we did. We ordered at the bar, and our meals of sausage and mash and 8oz sirloin steak arrived promptly. Regarding the food, although my steak had flavour, it was rather tough and chewy and was difficult to cut into, I was rather surprised by this, although I did eat it all and it was tasty. Maybe it wasn't aged long enough or a tough piece of meat that can happen. The beef dripping gravy was really tasty. The sausage and mash were tasty with good flavoursome sausages. The surroundings inside and outside are very nice, with a big customer car park. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would recommend this eatery to other folk.
