The Railway Inn

Easter may nearly be over but no reason we can look ahead to next weekend… may I suggest a fantastic roast from @therailwayinnportslade

Had a roast here a couple of weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! The place was so busy (as it always is) but there was no compromise on food at all. Everything seemed very organised and at no point did it feel chaotic, even though the venue is pretty big!

We went for the pork roast and the crackling was definitely up there with some of the best, maybe a little to ‘crackling-y’ as it was very crunchy but much better than a soggy one… if you know, you know!

The potatoes were crispy and the Yorkshires were big! Only downside was the vegetables- they were chopped up and mixed together which I’m not keen on, feels a bit school dinnery but nonetheless, a very good roast. I also like a lot of gravy on my roasts and this came with a ‘me’ sized portion but my husband doesn’t have gravy on his roast (weird, I know) and the roast came with gravy already on it which he was a little disappointed about but not enough to not enjoy it. Probably should have asked for it separate when ordering maybe?

The sides were great, the biggest pigs in blankets I’ve ever seen, some delicous gravy soaked stuffing and really cheesy cauliflower, very impressed with these and big enough for four of us to share easily!

We then had some delicious desserts with a choice of @hovegelato ice cream which was a great way to finish our meal and a great addition to a very fun and trendy pub which was also very kid friendly!

We have also been her for Mexican food which they do during the week and we have really enjoyed that too. If you live in the Portslade area, I would highly recommend a visit here. Booking is essential on Sundays as they are full most weekends. The garden is also huge and the place has a lot going on. Definitely one of my favourites in the area and will be visiting again very soon!
