   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – A Fantastic Local Pub! The Railway Inn in Pelsall is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm welcome and a smile – the staff here are genuinely some of the friendliest you’ll meet. The atmosphere is spot on: cosy, relaxed, and exactly what you want from a proper local. The drinks are very reasonably priced, which makes it a great spot whether you’re popping in for a quick pint after work or spending an evening catching up with friends. There’s always a great buzz about the place, but it never feels overcrowded – just that perfect balance of lively and comfortable. If you’re in the area and looking for a pub with great ambience, great people, and great value, the Railway Inn should be top of your list!

   If you're looking for a proper local with heart, The Railway Inn is the place to be. The landlord is incredibly welcoming—one of those rare people who makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. The staff are just as brilliant: friendly, attentive, and genuinely up for a chat. Drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a bonus, and there’s a real sense of community here. You can tell they care about supporting local events and people, and that makes all the difference. I’ll definitely be coming back. Great atmosphere, great people, and a proper pint. What more do you need?

   I'm a believer in giving honest opinions and leaving reviews even if its negative feedback to make things better....... Good and bad........... The family who have just taken over are lovely always chatty.... Helpful and quick service they also seem family entoriated. We have been a few times for drinks since they have taken over the establishment from the old owners...... We have never been regular customers so can't really compare. So far over the last few weeks, drinks we had initially compared to now haven't got any better. Soft drinks are still warm, flat and decanted from ltr bottles purchased from a local supermarket. Limited ice despite the drinks being so warm isn't appealing. - tip if you are going to serve in this way at least make sure it's ice cold and fresh. Glasses are often not cleaned enough and have reminace of the last person's use. Everyone is entitled to their teething problems so we give them benifit of the doubt and are happy to return. They have just started the food and are a few weeks in I believe, so thought we would also give the Sunday lunch a try. In Pelsall village, decent food is far and few between unless you want to drive for miles elsewhere, cook for yourself or settle for microwaved frozen food. . Today's visit has left me and my family Very disappointed. I'm not going to slate everything about it as its clear the new owners want to give it their best and in current times is going to be difficult enough taking over a pub in a new area and are obviously keen to make an impression. It's child and dog friendly ........ however, the food we have had today was well below par. If you are going to start and serve food/ drinks and offer a service then at least make it so that customers want to return even if it's your first attempt there's no excuse for poor food when you have such low servings. I got the impression that it was only a means to an end.......... I'm under the impression that they only advertised for 30 servings of Sunday lunch so I have no idea why it was so poor... Maybe A way of making an extra few £ when custom is low. £10.95 for a Sunday lunch that consisted of overcooked beef.... Potatoes that our party had a debate of if they were tinned or not... Frozen Yorkshire puddings..... Bisto gravy... Carrots were nice and peas not overcooked Childs pizza was a microwaved frozen one. No options of starters or desserts as they hadn't prepared and waiting for delivery from bookers along with No table service which I can't accept due to the low cost of meal. New owners deserve a chance use it or loose it... I personally would of taken the pub over, closed it. Redecorated, and put my own spin on it. Shame as a good food pub in Pelsall is lacking. Hope it improves

   This is a typical pub that serves pub food. Interior is warm and welcoming, staff very helpful and friendly. Food is prepared in the pub itself (not bought in and microwaved) it is typical pub food but is reasonably presented.

   There was a good selection of reasonably priced food. Drinks not too expensive. Pleasant old style interior with decent views over the common. Car park adequate and very close to McLean way should you want to take a walk

   Ok pub but expensive drinks. 1x ale 1x cider nearly £8:50. Décor is very tired and dated. It's definitely the more expensive option in the village compared to the other pubs in the area.
