Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Done a revisit to this hotel for our evening meal and the food is still very good and the staff are very friendly. But, the uncontrolled behaviour, manners and noise from a BIG mob of Idiots was unnecessary and uncontrolled with some of them RUNNING...around tables. They come from down South to Black Rock Dirt Circuit track for Burnouts to be held on 23/9/2023. This has happened before under the previous owner and the Police were called to make an appearance, It worked. This sort of BEHAVIOUR GIVES THE HOTEL A BAD NAME AND THEY SHOULD BE BARRED IN THE FUTURE !More

We had lunch at the railway hotel on a 30c day. Our meals were the lamb shank with mash & salad and porterhouse steak with chips & salad. Both meals were of excellent quality - the lamb fell off the shank, the porterhouse was tender...& flavoursome, the chips were morish & well cooked.More

A revisit to Peterborough and the towns Railway Hotel for an evening meal. Unfortunately the place is changing with a lot of staff left and leaving, the cook (Who was an excellent cook) bar staff and drive through staff have gone. I ordered Thai Green...Curry on Rice....well it's the worst meal I've had there, It was not hot with curry flavour, the meat went cold and the rice...well what a mess, it was out of a kitchen container and as hard as concrete. Yes I should have complained but I wanted a feed. Looking forward to the new owners to arrive which hopefully is not far away.More

Our initial impression was good, old decor but country pub so expect that. I ordered pork belly. Yummo! My partner ordered barramundi curry n coconut. It was what I call a housewife's curry. Full of chunks of carrots and green beans which had not been...top n tailed so had to "spit out" stalks. No curry flavour at all. Hence my reference of housewife's curry. Suitable for kids. Very little fish and served over the rice. Both meals also came with salad but NO DRESSING! Later while playing poker machines, there were many break downs and when I reported one on a machine I was playing, I was informed very abruptly that the lass behind the bar, Lucy, was very busy cleaning after lunch and I should have rung the bell in the poker room, instead of disturbing her. Then she realized there was no bell. She then very rudely told me I should have just waited at the counter and eventually I was be seen. Needless to say, as soon as the problem was fixed, I removed my money and we left. I don't care how busy you are, it is not my problem and I resent being spoken down to. We put a lot if money cm into the pub, but not again.!More

Great hotel, friendly staff, genuinely willing to please, best chicken schnitzel, spotlessly clean rooms and bathrooms in the original hotel, The Railway Hotel is much quieter than it was in its heyday, but our group of six very much appreciated the warm hospitality shown by...the current proprietors.More

My wife and I popped in for lunch. There is a menu of typical pub grub. I ordered bangers and mash and my wife roast beef. They were great, not your typical pub grub. The bangers were meaty and huge. The mash was perfect. The...gravy was delicious. It came with a side salad and hot bread roll. My wife’s beef was equally delicious. The meals were so generous that we could not eat dinner. The taste was so good we could not stop eating.More

Our Dinner on 18th/June/2021 was absolutely sensational. All our meals were cooked as ordered, delicious and fresh, and served very quickly. The cosy dining area was comfortable and staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions for food and drinks to match.

This is one of the best pubs in Peterborough for a drink, for food, and for friendly staff. Can't knock these guys. They go out of their way for good service - and the Macka's rissoles and mash is great! Love their food and respect...their service. 10 out of 10.More

The staff were welcoming and professional, we experienced great service. The menu featured all the usual old country pub fare, combined we had the lamb shank, rissoles and mixed grill. All of them were great. We would happily come back. The pub itself is full...of old Australian charm, really a gem.More

No great ambience in the bistro but staff were lovely and its a a beautiful old hotel built in the incredible heyday of Peterborough. Fabulous lamb shank and I had a very tasty beer on tap I was unfamiliar with (cant remember name unfortunately). Some...of their "famous" dishes like the pie were sold out. Excellent dinner before we headed out for the Sound and Light show at the Heritage Steam Centre.More
