We live local to Station Bistro & we are never disappointed when we visit. Be it breakfast, lunch or afternoon coffee & cake, you will get a warm, friendly welcome. Food is very good, lovely menu. We are very partial to their Cod & Chips!!
Tables are well spaced out, staff all in face coverings & hand sanitizer at the door, they can't do anymore to make you feel safe.

Lovely welcome and we're warned of a wait for food. Very hard working staff and also the offer of a free drink as wait was longer than they wished. Didn't detract from the experience at all and food was lovely.
