Quick info
About The Filling Station
A retro Detroit automotive theme fills out the interior of The Filling Station, a cafe on an industrial estate in Malvern, giving the room a look that regulars have been coming back to for anywhere from eight to fifteen years. Breakfast anchors the day, with cooked breakfasts in the morning and fillings including sausage, bacon, egg and mushroom served in baguettes and rolls. A Full English Breakfast and a Sausage Baguette sit on a short menu that also runs to a hamburger, and the team adapts dishes for gluten intolerance and other food intolerances. Orders come over the counter or by phone, alongside sit-in service, and the phone keeps ringing through the busier stretches. It runs Monday to Saturday during the daytime, closed on Sundays, and takes walk-ins. The cafe also posts videos on TikTok, which customers bring up when they arrive.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to quick, friendly service at breakfast, with several describing speedy plates even when the cafe is busy and the phone keeps ringing. The food is called delicious, consistent and good value, and one long-time regular praises the retro Detroit automotive theme and a clean room. One diner with a gluten intolerance says the menu was adapted to suit, and a few enjoy the cafe's funny TikToks. Another reviewer, back after many years, found the food really nice. The dissent is sharp, though. One longtime customer on a second bad visit describes a sausage, bacon, egg and mushroom baguette with dry, tasteless bacon, mushrooms swimming in grease and a stale, badly cut roll that fell apart, and says the server either missed the staleness or did not care. A separate negative review says the cafe does not take food intolerances seriously and calls the TikToks vile. The praise keeps returning to one detail, that diners always feel welcome.

“Avoid at all costs. The Filling Station in Malvern clearly doesn’t take food intolerances seriously. Instead of treating customer concerns with respect, they make vile TikToks …”
