  “Not good. Poor selection of food. Afternoon tea scone was warmed in microwave !! Grumpy staff started mopping the restaurant floor with strong disinfectant at about 3pm, clearly wishing the pesky customers would leave.”

  “Very reasonably priced food and a good selection of options. Great to visit at the Steam Museum without having to pay entry. Very happy with my ham, egg & chips for £9.50 👍😋. Prompt and friendly service. Also happy Amex is accepted. Certainly worth a visit.”

  “A bit basic, but the soup I had (other than being superheated) was very tasty. Well priced as well.”

  “Ha drinks before visiting the museum and then food in-between all the exhibits to allow a bit of rest for the old brain - the cafe is small and not on the ground floor and the toilets are down stairs There is a menu and the jacket potatoes were nice”

  “I recently visited Platform 1 cafe, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The highlight of my visit was their hot special—a delicious, well-made burger that exceeded my expectations. The flavors were spot on, and it was clear they use high-quality ingredients. Beyond the great food, the staff was absolutely wonderful—super friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. I also loved their new menu options, which offer a fresh variety of choices for different tastes. Overall, Platform 1 cafe is definitely a place I’d recommend. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, it’s a great spot with great food and an even better atmosphere!”

  “The Platform One Cafe has been taken over by new owners and it is absolutely super, serving the most wonderful paninis I've ever tasted! They were reasonably priced, very generously filled and huge! The chips (not needed as paninis were so big) were very good, very well fried so they were crunchy and soft inside. You don't need to visit the actual museum to enter the café, which is a great bonus! Keep up the great food!”

  “I visited the museum yesterday which was great. The food choices for lunch were poor and no hot food menus were on displayed so I just had a sandwich and a soft drink. I paid by card and was not offered a receipt. My bank statement shows a payment to Zettle yesterday with a location given as York ( not Swindon!). This cafe could be so much better with a little bit more attention.”

  “Could do a lot better, not a great choice of snacks available. We both had a coffee which was taken back as only luke warm. They were replaced. It really lets the whole museum down as the exhibits inside were really enjoyable to see. Could the cafe take on a GWR period feel to enhance the experience of what is to come inside?”
