Railway Inn - Ceredigion

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at Jayne's for the family. Two of us enjoyed the lamb, one had chicken, and another chose a vegetarian option. All four main meals were delicious and served with Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, roast potatoes, and a roast parsnip. We also had two dishes of vegetables, including carrots, beans, broccoli, and cauliflower cheese, all of which were fresh and well-prepared. The only downside was that we didn't save room for the selection of amazing homemade desserts, such as trifle, apple pie, and chocolate fudge cake. These were all desserts that you love but never have the energy to make at home. We will definitely be returning to Jayne's the next time we are in Borth. It is a great spot for those who enjoy homestyle cooking, generous portions, and high-quality, fresh food.

This restaurant is a very unique pub that has the atmosphere of a traditional local pub, but welcomes all guests as if they were regulars. The bar is well-stocked and the staff are friendly. The menu offers inexpensive home-cooked meals with generous portions. We tried the roast, which came with all the trimmings and even had two vegetable options. The lasagne was also delicious, although a bit heavy on the mustard in the white sauce - just the way I like it! The drinks were very reasonably priced and the pints were clean and refreshing. Overall, a great experience with great food and drinks.

We did not make a reservation, but politely inquired if they had a table for 2 adults. We were rudely told "no". We left feeling disappointed and will not be coming back.

We holiday in area each year this is our third visit. This place is an odd little set up a cafe within a pub. You must purchase your drinks separately from the bar. We always find the same greeting, have you booked? No, right you can sit over here. Only one other couple in there so hardly packed to the rafters. I had decided what we wanted to eat went up to the till area to be greeted with I presume the owner grumpily taking our order as apparently if I had stayed seated a waitress would of come over. I offered to sit back down. When ordering food after each item I got yes, yes, yes. Zero conversation or interaction. Food is average, quick easy. We eat for convenience as for welcoming warm environment I wouldn't recommend it for that. We also commented we were greeted the same last year. We have since found another local pub that does home cooked food who seemed much more grateful for our business.

Not the warmest of welcomes on arrival but it improved after a while. It was disappointing that a lot of things were not available, it felt like we were guided to certain meals because it was an easy option. The portions were generous but the food was only average, and a little expensive for what it was. It certainly wasn't the most comfortable atmosphere we've known.
