A perfect place to find on a station platform when you're hungry and thirsty and have a bit of time to kill. Delicious snacks and hot and cold drinks, a bit pricey though; and the main problem is that the place closes rather early, so no refreshments if you're going back on an evening train.

A modest yet comforting refuge from the rain, this station café offers a warm cup and a welcome pause from the bustle of travel. The coffee was agreeable, the staff most friendly — a fine little haven for weary passengers in need of a moment’s rest.

Nice coffee place in the station, open when all others are closed.

Use this cafe daily for a few years now for either breakfast or drinks prior to work or going home. Great staff and handy refreshments. They have to put up with some miserable sods but so do the NHS. Keep up the good work
