Fun place for brunch and interesting menu. Portion sizes are mammoth and I think quantity overshadows quality and this is why I’ve marked them down in this occasion. Will make a return visit though.

Attentive & friendly staff. Didn't find menu overly tempting, but our choices were both very tasty (Ploughman's & Rosemary focaccia option). Busy at lunchtime, but not overly noisy. Location in railway carriage very novel. Will try coffee & cake next time!

Thank you for your feedback! We're so pleased you enjoyed your meal and the unique setting of our railway carriages. Our team always strives to provide a welcoming experience, and we’re glad to hear you found the atmosphere just right. We’ll be refreshing our menu for spring soon, so we hope you’ll find even more tempting options on your next visit—perhaps alongside that coffee and cake!"

Very good menu and service in original setting. No soft drinks available, except water, for diabetics. Time restriction of 75 minutes takes the edge off a bit. Overall through a great lunch.

Lovely and unique place to eat and entertain our old friends. Just the right level of friendly, unobtrusive and efficient service, and of course, wonderful food that we thought excellent value for money.
Our second visit and we will be back soon.

Whist waiting outside for the sidings to open as we were early, a member of staff arrived for her shift and greeted us as she walked by, I love that! And I heard her greet her colleague which was also polite and friendly. The surroundings were lovely. Can't wait to return in the summer and see the produce thriving in the beds. Excellent food. There staff are a credit to them, I will be spreading the word.
Thank you
