Customer Review Summary
Several reviewers single out the Mainline breakfast, a full English, with the green signal poach breakfast also called tasty. Portions are generous, and one reviewer describes a homemade style Sunday dinner. Staff are lovely and friendly, one dog was welcomed, and a double breakfast bun was made off menu. Extra Yorkshire puddings arrived because the chef disliked how they looked.

“Absolute hidden gem, hospitality was amazing (we got extra Yorkshire puddings because the chef didn’t like how they looked). Portions very generous with great pricing and the quality of the food was outstanding. Would 100% recommend anybody looking for a homemade style Sunday dinner or even a coffee!”

“What a find. Our first time leaving from platform 2 but won't be the last. Even our dog was welcomed. I was catered for with a double breakfast bun, even though it's not on the menu, crispy bacon is a thing for me, and it was. My partner had the mainline full English and it was right on track, (pun intended ) Lovely people, a small cafe with a huge personality. First time traveller but we will be back.”
