Brief Encounter Bistro & Bar

I saw this on t.v when Susan Calman visited. It was purely, by chance that I found it online as we were enroute home. What a real treat to visit. We stopped for allday breakfast, which was lush. The staff were welcoming, the food was great & the atmosphere fantastic! If you' re a fan of the film, its a must👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Theres a small museum at the rear of the station.... a truly lovely visit!👏🏻👏🏻

A pleasant and interesting informative visit. The facility was well maintained and clean. Generally appeing to boomers, but there is stuff for youngsters. I found it really interesting. Whilst there we had lunch in the bistro. Excellent home made fayre served by friendly folk. Very reasonable prices too, with a good choice of meals. All in all a very enjoyable experience. Well worth a visit.

I love it here, I love the quirkiness of everything, the food is fresh and tasty and homemade. There's so much to look at and it's like taking a step back in time...however, and I know it gets mega busy but there are times I've been and I can't get seated due to abandoned tables. A little trolley to pile it all on and take it away would be perfect but when I went yesterday I went it was all clean and tidy but I chose to sit outside as the weather was beautiful. The benches outside are filthy and sticky and black, everything needs a right good scrub down and so is everything else out there, it just looks grotty and my latte wasn't overly hot either, it won't put me off coming though but I'm not sitting outside again.

Really charming and well stocked cafe/restaurant. Great staff. Lots of variety. I hadn’t planned to be there as long as I was. However I was made welcome and looked after. I hadn’t realised that the classic film Brief Encounters was filmed there. It seems there’s a small museum dedicated this classic film. All in all if you find yourself there, stick around.
