The Railway is a large local pub with a real old-style local feeling, offering very cheap prices for Didsbury, as well as many Cask-Ales and regular live music. Visitors have reported excellent food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Despite some initial booking issues, guests have found the meals to be large, tasty, and satisfying. The pub is also commended for its cozy atmosphere and entertainment options such as showing Sky Sports and hosting a weekly quiz night. Overall, The Railway comes highly recommended for those looking for a welcoming and affordable dining experience with a touch of local charm.

Only real complaint was that the beer was so cloudy it should never have been allowed to leave the bar.
