Fabulous place and obviously the choice of drinks will more than satisfy a cider drinker...On a hot day we sat under the canopy and ate a shared seafood platter which was lovely we also added the gem lettuce side which perfectly complemented a lovely dish.

Very pleasant pub, modern with a traditional feel. Very effective and pleasant staff. Good menu, nicely cooked and very tasty. Obviously the drink tends towards cider and related products but Thatchers do make very good drinks!

We visited on a sunny bank holiday. There is an extensive area for sitting outside when the weather is good. Good range of ciders and beers in the bar. We ate lunch and the food was good quality but a bit on the pricey side for the amount provided. For example you really need to add side dishes if you like a good quantity of vegetables to accompany some of the meat dishes. We waited around 40 minutes for our food but they did warn us about this beforehand and it was very busy.

Cycled out here, great location and very well set up for families and or somewhere to meet friends.The sharing seafood platter was stunning, and more than enough for 2.The Stan's big Apple on tap and Cornish pale ale were as you would expect amazing quality.Great value for money as well as, great service.

What can I say the Railway Inn next too the Thatcher's cider brewery. We had a very tasty light bite and selection of ciders on offer. As a lady I enjoyed the Big Apple which I found a light and refreshing drink. Served in a super little Thatcher's glass(we liked it so much we bought some). George served us and was a great host as were the other staff on, we felt cared for. Having tasted the cider we decided we had to take some home and travelled a little way up the road to the shop purchased some cider, cheeses and our souvenir glasses. Very enjoyable afternoon

Beautiful pub close to the Thatcher's Mill. Service was prompt and I could not fault the food. The Railway Inn welcoming to all ages and modern day architecture with the cosiness of an old traditional pub.

I’ve done the factory tour (brilliant) but never eaten until today. Disappointed to say that I was underwhelmed by the Burger. Chips perfect; coleslaw good, pickled chilli, what’s not to like. Burger….mmmm, bit too overdone for me. Interesting filling with the bun, different yes, but something not quite right. Maybe it was my choice; so will have to go again and check!! Cider choice of course is amazing.

Excellent lunch here. The staff were fantastic and make the whole experience even better. The food was amazing and the range of ciders on offer makes it even better.

I've a love hate relationship with this place. I've grown up with thatchers cider and its something I really enjoy drinking. The restaurant is a really incredible building and the atmosphere is great... but every time I go, I remember why I don't often go. And it's because the food and service is just naff. On this occasion 7 of us went. 5 adults and 2 kids (6/9).1 meal came out wrong. The drinks came wrong, the mustard came in a ramekin that it had been in so long it had skinned over (bearing in mind we where the only people eating). My steak was good, the things it came with where average.I happened to be there with 2 friends, both of whom are chefs. And both didn't finish their food because of how disappointed they where with it.Really it just needs a shift, it either needs to make the food more simple and cheaper. Or up their game to reflect the price.Seems a real shame to leave such rubbish feed back on somewhere I want to like so much. But it's just consistently disappointing.

Stopped for lunch at this pub as I pass it on a regular basis but had never previously been in. It seems to be part of the Thatcher's Cider Makers plant which is adjacent and is converted from one of their buildings. It looks quite attractive and there is an extensive range of ciders to try. However, the pub was quite cold so that we had to keep our coats on. Though it wasn't busy we had to wait 40 minutes for our food after ordering. The food itself was acceptable but nothing special and at the upper end of the scale price wise for pub food. In all, fairly average and there are better pubs in the area.
