Well I took mum here to eat and we couldn’t decide so we got a few items from the menu and we was happy we did, the food top quality ingredients, the infusion of flavours on the shakshouka very rich and authentic. We literally ate two breakfasts because we couldn’t stop eating, off home now with food coma but had to share and give them there props

Nice cafe with great food. Had a "Mainline" breakfast in this cosy carriage. Food was lovely, looked and tasted good quality. Egg was cooked to perfection, and the whole thing was reasonably priced. Will definitely come again.

Delicious food and kind service. It is a place you go to for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Service is a little slow but the staff are kind and nice people. They converted it in a way where it's like sitting in a steam train carriage but with the feeling of a vintage cafe. Overall it was a brilliant experience but for people with mobility issues you have to go up a couple of steps and an uneven terrace (however their is seating next to the carriage on grass however it not as good of an experience) but unless you can hardly walk i would say it's accessible for most ages.

An excellent and enjoyable English 'caf' in a railway carriage. Delicious fry ups with very good quality fresh ingredients. Other less common dishes available which also looked very appetising and well prepared. Definitely worth a visit and takeaways of rolls, etc, also available.
