Exquisite dining in the Cotswolds: Our menu
At the Railway Inn, we believe that the finest ingredients make the best meals. That's why we work closely with local suppliers to create a seasonally changing menu bursting with flavour and quality. Our talented Head Chef, Jeremy, boasts over twenty years of experience in various restaurants, hotels, and pubs. This expertise is reflected in our diverse and enticing menu, which caters to all tastes and preferences.
If you're looking for something light to accompany a drink, or perhaps a more substantial and comforting meal, our menu has something for everyone. With a flexible approach to cooking, Jeremy is more than happy to cater to specific dietary requirements or create something off-menu if you desire. Simply let your server know, and we'll strive to accommodate your request.
