Don't know what has happened to the kitchen here - as I expected great things, but I won't be returning in a hurry.
All food - Sweet Potato Chips, Beef Korma, Chicken Roulade - were obviously reheated - flavours were lacking, temperature wasn't even warm enough, chips were soggy, papadum was burnt.
and not cheap either - $28-25 for a main meal is not what you expect to get someones leftovers reheated.
Please put some more thought and consideration into the meals Railway, your reputation has gone down hill.
I know that times are tough when considering food turnover and customer numbers, but

The pub smelled bad and food was horrible. My husband ordered Spinach curry but it was a bland yellow curry without any spinach!!! I ordered a medium-rare steak but it was completely rare and tasteless. It completely put me off steak. The food and menu on their website was not what they were serving.
