  “I had a great visit to the Lead Station in Charlton. The fish finger sandwich and chips were really enjoyable, and the mocha was excellent too. A special thank you to Daisy and Lauren for the welcoming, respectful, and friendly service. They made the experience even better. The venue felt accessible, comfortable, and inviting. I'd happily recommend the Lad Station to anyone looking for good food, great coffee, and a warm welcome.”

  “Our walking group loves stopping at The Lead Station. The coffee is consistently excellent, and it’s always a great talking point that the building used to be a police station. We recently came back for lunch and were so impressed with the food. We enjoyed the fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce, a delicious eggs benedict, and an avocado toast with poached eggs and smoked salmon, We'll definitely be back for more.”

  “Would highly recommend. Visited during the January deal 50% and will definitely be back to pay full price. Struggled to get a table as it was so popular, however, despite the popularity the service was excellent. I had the cauliflower steak which is vegan and it was very tasty and filling. Good choice of drinks too.”

  “Today, I visited a restaurant with an atmosphere that felt refined, elegant, and luxurious. Despite being a high-end venue, they also offered a children’s menu, which I found thoughtful. For my meal, I ordered the Fat Iron steak and a chicken salad. Both dishes were excellent, with the steak cooked to perfection and the salad fresh and flavorful. The service was also impeccable. I had booked a table for 4:45 PM but encountered some traffic on the way, which made me worry that I might not be allowed in due to being late. I arrived just before 5 PM, but fortunately, the staff were understanding and warmly welcomed me in without any issue. Since I arrived early for dinner, the restaurant wasn’t too busy, which added to the relaxing experience. However, as I finished my meal and stepped outside, I noticed that a queue had already formed at the entrance. This shows how popular the place is, and I’d definitely recommend booking in advance. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience, and I’d love to return.”

  “This was our first visit and we absolutely loved it. First of all what a beautiful building, apparently it was originally a police station, now it is a stunning restaurant. Loved that it felt quite old as you walked in but through the back it opens up and is really light and airy. The menu has something for everyone, not your run of the mill, though there are the staples there like burgers, but some more unusual dishes as well. I had the risotto which was cooked to perfection, one had the duck, another the steak and a burger, everyone enjoyed. We just had room to squeeze a dessert in as well. The place has a lovely feel to it, really nice atmosphere and an excellent background playlist. Service was excellent, we will be back.”

  “Recommended by my friend in Manchester, I feel so surprised by such a decent, classic and well-decorated restaurant on the shopping street of the Chlorton area. It is very suitable for those customers who look for a comfortable, warm and not too noisy environment. The customer service and food quality are very good. I highly recommend a double espresso that is strong, intense and creamy. Please note that the food prices seem to be higher than the average in this busy city. Nevertheless, it is still a good choice to gourmet lovers”

  “Can’t thank the staff and the lead station enough. First time the family have all been in the same room since 2007 and it was made all the more special by The Lead Station! The food was amazing, staff super friendly (thank you Anne and Ellie!), the room was beautiful and organisation faultless!! THANK YOU would highly recommend for food, drinks and family gatherings you don’t want to host at home!! They will look after you perfectly! XXX”

  “I last visited here years ago and I'm glad the place is still going. The chicken wings starter was very nice. My companions had the steak/chips and duck and they were all very happy with the quality. I had the chicken tagliatelle which was ok though slightly bland in taste. Ice cream dessert awesome.”
