Station Bistro

What an absolute delight!

Staff are 100% spot on with customer service. Friendly, helpful, patient, and just making sure we were having a great time (we were!)

Highly recommend the ribs - the meat falls off the bone and it melts in your mouth in the most glorious way! Sauce wasn't too sweet, it was just right. Good portion too!

Also, the brie, bacon, cranberry ciabatta was delicious!

I wasn't expecting that much thinking it was a quick stop for people getting on/off at the station, but I was pleasantly surprised. The decor inside is wonderful! A little piece of history!

Lovely quick and friendly service for our Sunday morning brunch.
Enjoyable food and great timing, the food served at the same time for our party of five. Loved sitting in the old train seats, very comfy too. Will definitely be visiting again soon 😊

Fantastic little station bistro, with a unique atmosphere full of charm, and real period features. Great full English breakfast, with proper bacon and sausages and fried slice. Throughly recommended.

I really enjoyed the American breakfast, and my friend had the Jacket potato with bacon the portions are big. They have a great customer service plus a good environment. I would come back here again.🫶🏾

I booked a family meal here and we had the Christmas menu even though it was for a 75th birthday celebration. We were sat in 1950s train seats put together to look an old rail carriage, even the decorations were appropriate for the theme. The food was delicious, the staff were attentive but not over bearing, and the price was very reasonable. It was lovely sitting in that environment watching the modern trains go past the window (the bistro being on the station platform).
There was also a more traditional open coffee shop style room for anyone wanting a morning coffee, breakfast, lunch, cake etc.
I'd highly recommend coming here, we genuinely had a wonderful time.

Had a lovely visit. So nice to sit in the very comfy train seats. Such a novelty. The decor really adds to the experience with suitcases on racks and a bit of history with photos. The coffee was lovely and very friendly service. Already have plans to go back for food.

Would thoroughly recommend having breakfast here. There was 9 of us with two young children. The staff were exceptional and looked after us brilliantly. A variety of breakfasts were enjoyed by our group, from Beans on toast, scrambled eggs with crispy bacon and several full english breakfasts. The quality of the food was really good and everyone’s food came together and was nice and hot.

We had an afternoon tea for father's Day, absolutely brilliant, wide range of sandwiches and cake and trifle.
Amazing staff... Our waitress was very kind and generous.
Even put a candle on my dads cake to celebrate.
Amazing food and drink and well worth the money.
Definitely recommend.

Arrived early at the station and enjoyed an excellent oat milk latte and flapjack. The coffee was fantastic.
However, it was the customer service that made me leave this review. Friendly and welcoming showing what good customer service looks like. A good start to a six hour journey home.

The Station Bistro, what a wonderful find and It's such a shame we don't live closer as this would be our go to place to dine.
So, my wife and I decided to book a table for the Friday evening and wow, we were not disappointed.
We were greeted warmly on entering and shown to our table. We were made to feel valued guests.
I chose the burger, my wife the beef stroganoff, absolutely perfect, freshly cooked and delicious, cooked to perfection. We chatted to our fellow diners to say we would have chosen their dishes too. The ham and eggs looked amazing!
We choose the sponge pudding and custard for me and strawberry waffle for my better half. She says she has the better dessert, but I disagree ha ha.
As a footnote, the toilets are spotlessly clean, which is a big plus in my book, which shows they care.
So, if you are reading this then go support your local independent restaurants, we need more places like this.
Our fellow diner said she is going back for Sunday lunch, good for her, if we were still there we would too, and possibly breakfast the next day.
A wonderful place, charming, warm and friendly staff, all with a railway theme. What is there not too like.

Been for breakfast a couple of times in the last month. Two vegans and two not. Both times we all enjoyed a delicious cooked breakfast and various teas and coffees. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. It’s comfortable and decorated with old rail memorabilia. Will be back!

I’ve been into the bistro a few times recently and every time and I’ve received the best customer service, all the staff are very attentive, friendly and give excellent service. Will make this a regular cafe to visit. The food is equally as amazing. Well done.

Food is always delish....cafe is dog friendly and the restaurant is like an old railway carriage....love it. Super friendly staff too x

Great cafe bar, small groups can use the train seats in one part, these are the favourites, but we were 11 persons so we'd booked a large table, nice choice of food, etc, and as its also a working railway station, you have the added views of trains, we all had very nice meals, and will definitely be going there again.

A fantastic experience.
We visited this Bistro on the 16th March 2019 and hadn’t got a clue what to expect but where advised to reserve tablets.
On entering the car park you see two lots of car park signage one for the pay and display car park and the other for the free bistro parking so make sure you park in the correct parking bays.
On entry to the front door we was met by a room with no carpets wooden tables and a lot of train memorabilia around the outside, however as soon as we mention we had reserved a table for a certain time we where taken to another room which was out of this world ( see pictures) . It resembled the inside of an old type first class train carriage right down to the lighting and seats etc. Upon being shown to our table the really nice waitress returned within 5 minutes to take our order and with 20 minutes our brunches where on our table. All ingredients where not packet bought or of budget size, the black pudding we had on our plate was the size of a burger yet you go to a Weatherspoons and it’s wafer thin. It was good to taste locally cooked and sourced ingredients and this was reflected by the way the chef cooked the item and then took the time to plate the order up rather than just slapping it on the plate.
Every member of staff we spoke to seemed genuinely happy to help and be at work which is a change from the McDonald’s 24hr minimum wage staff you get down the road.
This is a bistro I will definitely be going back to take and time again and would hesitate to recommend to family and friends alike.

Five stars and 100% for an afternoon tea all the staff was very professional. friendly and polite
we would highly recommend it

A lovely cafe with a fantastic selection of sandwiches, bigger meals and cakes. With a great view of the station and friendly staff, this place is great for a light bite before you catch your train!

Superb, we have been a few times for lunch. Just had breakfast. Food was great, very tasty and good quantity. Service was very friendly and quick. Wonderful location with real history and atmosphere. Lovely, will definitely be back again.

We went as a family for Sunday breakfast. If you book you have a table and chairs from an old railway carriage, with the net luggage rack above you.
Now back to the food, the breakfast we had was excellent, we had a full English, one pancakes, one waffle and a bacon breakfast bap. Coffee was very good. The loss of a star was no air-conditioning on. A member of staff was using a neck fan. I tried to borrow it to no avail.
Well worth a visit we will return.

What a lovely place! The breakfasts are super - the toast was properly toasted, the sausage was a good quality offering, the bacon was delicious, and the extra black pudding was grilled/fried to perfection. My vegetarian companion enjoyed the scrambled eggs on toast, too.
