    Lovely early dinner before a show-great service, the shareable small plates were excellent. The lamb chop and the duck confit were amazing, as was the truffle mac and cheese. Excellent cocktails and a pavlova to die for!

    Pretty poor. Empty on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. Order via QR code. Over-cooked burger. Chain. Nothing to recommend.

We’d like to clarify that we are an independently run restaurant and one of only three of our kind in London.

    Lovely food and venue. Staff very friendly but did take 20 mins to get someone to take drinks order. Once food was ordered, it came swiftly but had to wait a while for someone to notice us initially.
    Rail House VictoriaResponded today
    Dear Emma, Thank you so much for your kind words – we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the food, the venue, and found the team friendly. We’re very sorry, however, that there was a delay in getting your drink order taken. That’s certainly not the level of attentiveness we aim for, and your comments have been shared with the team so we can ensure a smoother experience going forward. We're glad the food arrived promptly once ordered, and we truly appreciate your patience. We hope to welcome you back again soon for an even better visit. Warm regards, Sarah

    It was brilliant. Went for brunch before going to the theatre. It was my daughter’s bday and they made such a fuss and sang beautifully to her. Really attentive staff and the food and drank was spot on 👌

We're especially pleased that you found the food, drink, and service all spot on. A special thank you for mentioning Francisco – we’ll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback, which I'm sure will mean a great deal to him.
