The Station Kitchen

A wonderful evening in beautiful, unique and opulent surroundings. Such a lovely idea to make use of the station house and the carriages. Exceptional food quality. Be prepared for some expensive dishes for those on a tight budget although the children’s menu is very reasonable. Staff very friendly and overall atmosphere very welcoming, this will be one of the highlights of our stay in Dorset.

Being taken out for a mystery sunday lunch turned out to be a real treat and surprise. Bridport old railway station has been converted into a restaurant kitchen and the old waiting room is now a bar with very exotic and eclectic decoration. After being escorted into one of two converted carriages both having details of their long working history we eagerly scanned the menus and opted for the Sunday roast dinner. The portions are very generous and beautifully presented which may explain why every table was full and booking essentially. A week day and kids menu are available and the drinks menu is fascinating with a good selection of non alcoholic drinks. All the food is sourced locally and couldn't be fresher. The staff and service are all very relaxed and friendly, despite the novelty of the settings this is a serious and professional establishment. We left very contented with a huge sense of nostalgia for a walk along the beach. WELL DONE 👍

Some pretty fine dining to be had here, not somewhere for a cheap meal but certainly a venue for a great meal. The kids had a curry which was great, with good portions. My wife and I both had steaks which were spot on. We were too full for dessert, so perhaps on our next visit we'll go lighter on the mains and sides so we have space.

It was our first time dining at the Station Kitchen and it didn’t disappoint. Dawn was the lady serving us and she was super friendly and knowledgeable. She made the experience all that more enjoyable. The food was great, I had the Crab for starter and the sea bass for main and both were delicious. My husband had the steak for main which was cooked perfectly. Our two boys both had the buttermilk chicken and they cleared their plates. The carriage we were in was beautiful and really well done. The boys loved eating on a train which added to the fun of the evening. Definitely a highlight of our visit to Dorset this week. Would absolutely recommend.

The location is wonderful in west bay, a quirky restaurant that draws you in and does not disappoint. The inside is decorated beautifully and continues the quirkyness, so much so, that I overheard the owner was asked for decorating advice by a customer. The food was outstanding, generous portions and great quality. I had a 'fat controller' roast dinner, the best roast potatoes I've ever had at a restaurant. The team were very friendly and accommodating to a solo traveler and her dog. Will definitely be returning when I'm back in the area.
