Great service and food. Always very friendly staff and such a great addition to the village. Couldn’t recommend enough!

First time, sunny warm day and a little busy but what a nice place to have snack. But don't choose the carpark as a navigation point. Cyclist use this to park then go on cycling trip along this old train line route. I'd choose the road just south of the cafe only a minute walk to the cafe. We'll worth a visit.

Enjoyed my first visit today, greeted and served by friendly staff and found the food to be fresh and of a high standard. All in all a pleasant experience and would not hesitate to return. Thank you 😊

Sitting at a table on the platform outside the beautiful old Rayne station building, overlooking a carriage from bygone days. What a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends. The café offers a decent menu, with drinks and cakes too.

Friendly staff, and lovely doorstop sandwiches. Gorgeous choice of cakes. Ideal for a long walk with dogs. Seating is all outside but there is cover should it rain. If you fancy a change then do try here. You will not walk away hungry.

Absolutely love this place, and such a little gem. More tables have been added since last year, so there is much more space to sit down and soak up the unique space and enjoy the delicious food.
We came for lunch this weekend, and the food was so good. I had the special - bbq pulled pork and double mozzarella toastie, on doorstop bread with burnt ends. It knocked my socks off! The meat was tender and delicious, full of flavour, and the bread was toasted to perfection.
This was followed up with a fresh, homemade peach iced tea, and a selection of cakes - we went for a rainbow cake, chocolate orange loaf, passionfruit and mango cake and a caramel shortbread. All of which went down an absolute treat with the family.
This might be a small venue, but the food options and quality are spot on, and the owners really squeeze the best out of this opportunity.
The staff are lovely too, and they even asked if we wanted standard bread for my little ones cheese on toast. Always going over and above.
Thank you for a beautiful meal and perfect afternoon!

Lovely spot and the staff were really friendly but my smashed avocado on horrible cheap white bread was truly tasteless with zero seasoning. A shame and I will try again because it was so friendly.

This very popular cafe is all outdoor, with a canvas covered area at one end of a sunny platform, and some benches on the rail level. There is a very good off road cycle way running past. No menus at all outside on our visit, just one on the counter so I enclose a photo of it. The cakes are lovely, as are the staff. Very good value menus. There is a disabled unisex toilet on the platform. The downsides for me were; hot drinks are in paper cups ( no good size pot of tea), the benches outside are filthy and look like they are never cleaned, and the service is slow and shambolic. This may possibly be on a weekend only, with inexperienced staff working. But on a sunny day, if you are not in a rush, this café is well worth a try.

We often eat at both the Booking Hall Cafe and Cafe Plaza, which are also both highly recommended.
This weekend we had an afternoon tea catered for 18 people. I can't thank Josh and Grace enough! The food selection was top quality and more than plenty to go round ( most people took some home). Everybody commented on how delicious it was! Easy to book and customise for our personal requirements, also supplied GF options. Delivered in good time and very well presented.
Will definitely be using their catering service again! Many thanks!
