Railway Cafe in South Staffordshire

ITS NOT CLOSED! Visited the cafe after completing a walk along the Railway Walk to Awbridge. It’s had an upgrade and the Harry Potter theme has been replaced with some attractive refurbishment. Great food and pleasant service.

We stopped off for a quick lunch. What a great idea to make a cafe out of what was originally the local train station. Plus - a lovely building. Lots of outside seating with good coverage of umbrellas/sun shades. Unfortunately the coffee (decaff latte) was dreadful. I left it. My partners americano wasn't great. He said it tasted like instant nescafe. The food - I ordered smashed avo on sourdough with feta, two poached eggs and as an extra smoked salmon on the side. What I got was guacamole out of a jar, a sprinkle of feta, the sourdough hadn't been toasted enough it was soggy, and they forgot the smoked salmon which they brought very promptly when I pointed it out. I don't think the eggs were freshly cooked. My companion ordered prawn and crab sandwich. What they got - prawn and crabsticks. As most people know, crabsticks don't contain crab, they are artificially flavoured reconstituted fish. Just a point to the cafe, they are probably in breach of the CRA 2015 for stating it is something when it is something else entirely. The other issue of course is an allergy one. Guacamole, it was pointed out to me by staff contains tomato, but nowhere on the menu was this stated as an ingredient, which is very stupid, I suspect they will have serious issues here if they don't truly represent what they are selling. Please, please buy some avocados, mash them with a potato masher, add a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon. It takes 60 seconds! Buy some tins of crab. Buy some decent coffee. Increase your prices to reflect fresh food. It should have been lovely but it really was quite poor. I felt very sorry for the staff who tried very hard. They were not the problem at all and were very efficient. It was the food ingredients.

Absolutely wonderful experience having breakfast here ! Staff are amazing, food was beyond delicious and the setting and surroundings are just perfect. Would definitely recommend a visit to this hidden gem, you won’t be disappointed! 😊

Have visited the cafe many times over the years. The recent refurb has refreshed the surroundings. Also, an extended menu is welcome. However, it's our worst meal there ever. The tea was fine but the rest disappointing. They failed to accurately record what my wife ordered and the panini was obviously thrown together and plastered in pesto. She couldn't finish eating it. I always have scrambled eggs on toast. The toast was thick but lacking in butter. It now seems it's a one egg dish as there was about half what it used to be. Value is good if the food is up to standard. The 'latte' I ordered was coffee in warm water. Asked for it to be changed. It was with little difference. It's such a pity they obviously are not responding or reacting to constructive criticism as the issues persist.

I believe 2 staff on holiday when we visited. Ordered a sandwich for lunch to to told to come earlier next time as it was about 35 mins before closing. Coffee was tasteless and weak. Tea very milky. Chicken and bacon melt very bland. Waitress was wiping tables around us making it clear it was nearly closing. Have previously had brunch here which was OK. Not sure whether I will rush back

We selected the salted caramel cheesecake at £2.75 as it looked good value - however the 2 portions that were served was one of the ones on display cut in half, thus effectively doubling the price and so making us feel cheated.

Visited the Platform today for a private function. Food and service excellent. Lovely surroundings and so peaceful. A perfect spot for a perfect afternoon. Thank you, we couldn't have asked for better.

We will not be returning to this cafe again we were disappointed on our last visit but thought we would give them a second chance,and they failed. Customer service was poor the the member of staff that took our order was miserable when taking our order and not at all welcoming.We were with another couple and by the time they had got their food we had eaten ours,although we ordered at the same time.And the coffee machine was very basic which made the coffee tasteless,and the food no better.

Now called The Platform! Had a lovely brunch here, really recommend the poached eggs and avocado. Staff really lovely and got to sit outside in the beautiful sunshine! Will be back 100%.

Another fabulous visit to the Railway Cafe. Lovely people and the food was delicious. Breakfast sandwich and scrambled eggs on toast. Fabulous.

Myself and a friend decided to give the newly renamed and refurbished Platform cafe a visit today, whilst on a dog walk. The lady behind the counter was not very friendly, which is such a shame, as front of house is really important. We ordered 2 teas and a sausage for the dog. The 2 teas that were delivered were like warm water with milk in and the dogs cold, anaemic sausage was wrapped in some blue kitchen roll and dumped on the table. I've given it 2 stars for the lovely setting, but won't be returning.

Following all the recent publicity surrounding the reopening of this cafe, we were very eager to go and try it. Utterly disappointed at the standard of food, which frankly I wouldn’t serve to my dog. I had the hunters panini, where the panini itself was not even toasted properly, with the pre grated cheese unmelted and awful. The chicken was water pumped rubbish, the only saving grace was the bacon. We also had the crab and prawn sandwich. The granary was dry and not in fact granary, the filling was definitely from a tub and a cheap one at that. The coleslaw was cheap and not homemade either, as the menu stated. The tea was like dishwater and the glass my soft drink accompanied was dirty and still wet from wherever it came from. The staff seemed friendly, although they were eager to shut shop around 2.30, which was evident. It may well be family owned now, but it is by no means family run. Such an utter shame as the potential there is endless, the decor is lovely, although it was a little cramped. Not much of a selection of cakes and sadly, we we not be rushing back anytime soon. Prices are reasonable, but saying that, still disappointed in the quality of the food here.

Service today was appalling waited half a hour with 3 people in front of me and was still not served in the end gave up and decided to leave , we came to the cafe about 3 weeks ago and service wasn’t the best then had to wait to get served then half a hour for our food then toast came out 10 mins before our breakfast what’s happened to this place we always enjoyed the cafe but don’t think we will bother again

Went for full English breakfast with Hubby, only one person serving, people who came in after us were served first which increased our wait time. When food arrived was undercooked and cold. Just to mention, the new decor does nothing for the ambiance.

After a lovely walk popped in for a late breakfast, sat outside tables where clan and garden kept tidy, the bacon sandwich I had was excellent and my husband full English was great.

Fed up of having to stand and wait now to be served. Pre covid orders were taken at tables and services were good. Pity there is no alternative near by.

Been using the railway on our walks all summer and has bee great. Today when ordering our customary cappachinos the arrived within 20 seconds strange I thought but ok. Went and sat outside when trying the coffee realised it was literally Luke warm filter coffee from a jug with a bit of froth on it. This is not good enough the lady swore it was proper cappa? In 20 seconds I think not. From now on I think it will be a flask on the walk if this staff is on duty again. Terrible Today ashame as enjoyed it every other time even didn't mind the I floated prices. But not any more I'm afraid.

Stopped here for breakfast after a night at Meadow View (Airbnb) in Lower Penn. A lovely welcome from the lady who took our order. My boyfriend chose the full English breakfast and I chose the vegetarian cooked breakfast. We were offered a choice of tinned or fried tomatoes, how we wanted our eggs cooked and what I wanted to replace the mushrooms (I don't like them) with. Breakfast was served within about fifteen minutes - hot and delicious with generous portions. Lovely surroundings and there was a queue minutes after they opened at 10. Highly recommended!

Lovely food offered and a nice outdoor seated area where we could sit with our dog for lunch. A nice area to sit and watch the world go by.

What a little gem of a cafe in a secluded setting in an old railway building on a railway line which is now a footpath. The breakfast was very good, hot and cooked well. All the family enjoyed the experience and the Harry Potter theme was very well done. The staff were friendly and efficient and we felt safe with all the Covid 19 precautions which were in place. Well done. We will be returning!

First time visiting since lock down with my husband and daughter yesterday and it was lovely. Attracted back by the Harry Potter decor and it is lovely! Real effort made and lots to spot as you enjoy a drink or meal! Felt very safe with Covid measures of glass screens, spaced tables, table service etc. The food is a range of simple hearty cafe options. We had a veggie and normal English breakfast at lunch time and it was great. Fabulous portions, good quality and lovely fresh bread from the local bakery. Staff were very friendly. Definitely visit again. If you haven't tried it in a while, or love Harry Potter definitely give it a go.

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!(One star here is for Windmill bakery's granary bread!! the other is for location!)I'm so sorry but I have to have a little grievance to air......and the reason I'm airing it is because I do think the people of Wombourne deserve better....service and truth.....I went along to walk the dog in my locality and decided to support my local business by stopping off at the local railway cafe not far from Bratch, to have a coffee and a couple of pieces of toast and butter ...what a treat!!Now, I'm a foodie and work teaching all sorts of people about food..and you might think I'm being precious here..but my grievance is not about all the nasties in processed spreads or my personal choices .. it's about the expectation of honest service.... and well, honesty and the underrated effect of SMILING!!I asked for a coffe granary toast and real butter on the side. I made a little point about putting the butter( real butter please) on the side...I had a little joke about it but the owner was stony faced.So I got my coffee which was the price of a proper ground coffee but out of one of those little automatic machines. but tasted dreadful....some lovely granary toast which was lovely... and " butter"- which wasnt butter- on the side.So I took the pot up and asked if she could change it for real butter please as asked at the beginning. I was told..."Oh we dont do butter here" as if it was something from another planet (Except that its not really funny as why wouldn't the people in Wombourne be entitled to expect quality and value for money? ?)Now, what really made me cross was because she had ample opportunity to say that, when I was ordering -that they didnt "do" butter and not when I had ALREADY PAID! I really felt insulted actually..... She listend but had weighed it up and dcided to herself that I probably wouldn't notice the difference.Wrong! ...and a lesson that she shouldn't judge her clientele by her own standards.The price for two pieces of bread and spread was £2.10 now all the other cafes charge comparably with REAL butter srved automatically unless you ask otherwise, on the side.....fancy that! As they do up and down the country ...because it is what people expect!To cap it all off, there was a sign asking people to wipe down their own tables with a spray cleaner that obviously had been handled by anyone and everyone!! The whole point of staff doing this in these difficult times, is to CONTROL the environment as cafe owners not avoid the work of it!!! I saw elderly folk complying with this with a slight wry/put outl look on their face!The others who work at the cafe are absolutely and have always been, historically lovely and friendly and accommodating...but the older lady is not!How disappointing for my local cafe! I want it to be outstanding!This could be a real gem of a place and a goldmine if run properly...it is a fantastic location... if they had better service and quality food and opened for afternooin tea and after schoolers etc...---( last orders are at 2)Here endeth my rant. Please do better for the people of Wombourne! You know you can get tubs of butter at cash and carry!!

Popular little cafe on South Staffs trail. Called here for mid morning refreshments. Coffee and carrot cake-both were really good. Cake hit the spot. Seating either on the platform or in the garden - clean and when we arrived plentiful. Will call again. 😋

This is a nice spot along the old railway path. Service is a bit slow for an order of just drinks we’ve found on both occasions we visited. It would be great if there were some wrapped gluten free cakes so I could have a treat with my cuppa.

We were originally guided by the Librarians to come here for nice walks and a place to relax. We have been here several times, now that my father has moved to Wombourne. Each time, the beautiful and amazing staff have been wonderful and made us feel welcome, even when they had to deal with a lot of customers before us. Ps/ My father was supposed to of posted a review at the end of last year, I still can't find it... so please find this as a double review. Have yourself a wonderful and amazing trip to Barbados!!! :) Met + Adam

Me and my grandparents decided to go and grab some dinner and my parents mentioned this place. This is @therailwaycafewombourne . I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to eat here but as soon as we arrived, we saw this sign and I was over the moon! I had a Vegan Latte and a Vegan Chilli Jacket Potato and the quality of the food was incredible. Really well priced and we kept commenting on how fresh the salad was .It was a lovely little cafe and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend this place . Oh and it’s a great place to bring your dog and go for a walk

It's a nice little café and the food was nice, but one of the staff was very rude to someone I was with and there is no need for that. She should get fired for being rude to people. I get it's busy, but you have to be friendly and polite to people. I didn't even want to talk to her and she upset a few people I was with. I already had something on my mind at the time, so it really didn't help things at all. I wouldn't recommend this café because of rude staff.

Terrible service terrible attitude refused me breakfast because I was ordering for two tables of food and stated I should of ordered wen on other table I did but she walked of with attitude problem upset one of the students we was with with never never come here ever again the old lady who works there was disgraceful

Great location for walking and cycling. We did a 9 mile circuit along canal tow path and old train line. Excellent food at the cafe. Good variety. Very good value for money. The cakes and puddings were excellent too.

Second visit and I have to mention the poor customer service.... Admittedly, we arrived today at about 2.40 - they close at 3 - to be looked at like poo (invisible eye rolling!!!) and told only ice cream & takeaway drinks. Fine, but there was very limited choice and when we took our purchases outside into the garden we were snapped at to basically ‘move your asses’ as we want to go home. A lady then walked round the garden telling people to hurry up with their drinks..... Now, this is a privately run cafe and with glorious sunshine the railway track was bustling so they seriously missed a trick by being so very abrupt with their timekeeping. I get they want to go home but they are also offering a service to the local community and we weren’t the only ones offended by their attitude. Come on ladies, look at your reviews and maybe go on a Customer Service course!

Took my mother for a dinner during june. She enjoyed the location as she is a railway enthusiast. Also showed her nearby Bratch Locks.

2 of us were cycling thro a downpour and pulled in to this cafe for a warm drink. we went into the deserted garden where there was a shelter. A member of staff came out immediately to say due to health and safety we couldn’t leave our bikes there. We decided to put on more clothing and leave. Another staff member came out to say move your bikes to the bike rack in quite an aggressive way. Then she came back to say your bikes are wet already anyway. We won’t be returning for anymore rudeness again nor will any else from our cycling club.

Called in to have a bite to eat with my wife and son and granddaughter found a table on the old station platform and was told waitress would come and take our order we had to wait for at least half hour before order was taken and she said she was very sorry for the delay as they were very busy we didn't mind as the atmosphere was lovely and the place was packed so expected to wait everyone was in good spirits and didn't seem to mind the wait I ordered the panini with chesse tomato and bacon the wife ordered a hot chicken sandwich son had tea cake and granddaughter had sausage and egg sandwich everyone absolutely enjoyed what they had ordered

The ladies who run the café are kind, polite, and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is ok,(although pricy) and quite good for such a small establishment. Not the biggest venue, and tends to get full of older people, and ramblers. If your walking, biking or walking the dog, it's a welcome stop off place for a drink. There is a little terrace outside if it's a nice day or full, and you can take your dog on there. Always a bowl of water handy for them. Not open on a Monday!

Situated next to a nice walk along the old railway track...good snacks and drinks at reasonable price...seating area outside...tables need a clean outside and the grassed area needs weeding and a bit of effort with flower beds / bushes to brighten it up.

Stopped here on our ride along the old railway track. Just wanted drinks but waited so long for someone to come we had to remind them we were there by going back inside. Ok drinks, nothing special, can’t really see what cakes etc they have no real display to look at.

We had lovely hot chicken with gravy sandwich,it was so nice and tasty and a lovely pot of tea,well worth a visit

Good portions, lovely service. Food is very nice, place is clean and really well done up. Not a fault at all!

Lovely atmosphere sitting outside in summer take the dog for a walk along the railway line, come back and have a bacon and egg sandwich.

This is a lovely café and the food is excellent and well priced. The English breakfast was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit Thank you

They do a really nice breakfast. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Lovely building with some history. Lovely for a Saturday morning breakfast.

The railway Cafe is of two places you can get a full English brekfast in wombourne before 12 and let me tell you this is the best the food is fresh and cooked to perfection runny eggs and lovely fluffy warm toast nom nom, friendly service and very quick to the table half the price of farmer and friends! With more quality and more quantity too it's a no Brainer

We ordered 2 coffees this morning and sat outside on one of the benches. We waited and waited until eventually I asked if our coffees were on the way. When they arrived, I was given hot milk when I asked for cold and my partner’s latte was one of the worst he’d ever had (it didn’t even look like a latte!). We left most of our drinks and when I went to pay I mentioned to the young waitress that the coffee was dreadful. She did not attempt to apologise or offer us a discount which most places would have done I’m sure. We will NOT be returning here and I would definitely NOT recommend the latte.

Weekly walk along the canal and disused railway line sees us meeting and finishing our walk at the cafe. Food is fresh and well presented and staff are lovely. We love this location and the cafe is perfect for us.

Great food, great location, great service. Great outdoor seating area. Lovely inside to, with a bit of history about the building.

We have been here sometime ago and everything was lovely. Today we popped in for a little lunchtime treat (1pm) We we told they would take orders at the tables . We sat in the little garden, waited. Waited, Waited, then we noticed someone ordering at the counter who had arrived after us. We moved inside as we thought we might be noticed . Still no one came. We gave up. Moved on to a very welcoming pub round the corner. If this lovely little cafe is to thrive there must be some training on how to make people feel welcome and to serve quickly. So disappointed.

Couldn't praise The Railway Cafe enough. The staff are pleasant, the food they serve is done to order and therefore fresh. The location is in an old station from the old South Staffordshire Railway which closed in the mid 1900s. You can either drive to it, located on Bratch Lane, Wombourne, or you can take the Railway Walk which starts in the North at Castlecroft, or from the South which starts at Wall Heath/Kingswinford.

The title says it all. It was a busy day and there appeared to be just two staff working. We were seated at beaches on the platform side and were told ten minutes later, in no uncertain terms, that side was shut and to sit in the garden. We moved - no problem, but the waitress (owner?) was very abrupt. Half an hour after arriving, we had not even had our order taken. It just wasn’t THAT busy............we left after a request for tea and cakes for 12 or so people generated another loud statement how short staffed they were. As a previous reviewer says, business must be booming to be able to treat relatively large groups of people like this.

My partner and I decided to visit for breakfast this morning. We were greeted by this wonderful old railway station in Wombourne that is tastefully and nostalgically decorated. Upon our arrival we were greeted cheerfully by a staff member and invited to take a seat. After choosing a full English breakfast and tea and coffee. We waited while our food was freshly cooked and weren't disappointed when our order was delivered hot and appealing. We quickly downed the lot. A perfect start to the day. Top points for service and food. The setting is beautiful too. The Kingswinford railway runs the back of the cafe. This can be seen from the old platform where there are seats for diners to enjoy the surroundings. The trains went a long time ago and this is now a nature trail where people walk, jog, cycle etc. Dogs and weary owners are welcome in the garden area at the front of the station. A real gem of a bygone age. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful place.

Business must be booming , as they definitely were’nt after our custom , took our bikes into the garden area , as the bike stands were so dreadful they would have bent the spokes on the wheels , to be shouted at to get them out , can safely say we won’t be comimg back here ever again

right where do the heck do I start. The food I ordered was ok at a push, however, it was certainly not jaw dropping. The server, who was young and long blond bush type hair was rude, she was far more interested in chatting to her mate behind the till. I was not happy! Anyway, when the server gave me the cutlery, it was horrible, it had not been washed and there was food stuck too it, a bean to be exact. I will not be returning again.

We go most Sunday's for breakfast it gets really busy but the people with dogs can not go inside but the are ample tables and chairs on the platform and when weather permits it's nice to sit in the garden, food is always good and the staff are so friendly.

Enjoyed a lovely full English in this lovely old station building. Some items from the menu weren't available but we did go late in the day so that is understandable. Great service and delicious breakfast, I would like to come back in the summer and sit outside!

I love this cafe. I chose the cheese and tomato on toast followed by scone with clotted cream and jam and a pot of Earl Grey. The cheese on toast was huge with two doorstep slices of brown bread. Delicious. It so reminded me of my Nana's cooking. I loved going to her house for meals. Everything was so tasty. The style of this food reminded me of her. High praise indeed. The scone was genuinely freshly baked. There were 8 of us who had done a group dog walk along the disused railway line and back along the towpath. We will be back. The others at our table of five outside had scrambled eggs on toast and lemon cake, chicken soup with bread, cheese toastie and cheese and tomato sandwich. We were all very happy with our food and have vowed to come back and eat our way through the menu! Plus friendly service. Dogs allowed outside. Thank you.

This place was a winner of 2016 in Wombourne! And it's really true!! The food is fantastic and staff is very friendly and hospitality! I'm very recommending this little shop to visit!

Great food , excellent service had a beautiful English breakfast very high standards spotlessly clean

Excellent food and menu , situated on the South Staffordshire walk ,very good position for walkers to drop in .

Have visited this lovely cafe on several occasions for a tea and cake stop on a cycle or walk route. It's perfectly situated for walkers/ cyclists on the old railway path but also has a good size car park. The staff are always cheery and...

La segunda vez que hemos estado aquí y tengo que decir que la comida está todavía muy bien, especialmente el desayuno inglés completo. También excelente servicio del personal.

La cafetería está situada en la antigua estación, así que puedes comer en el interior en la plataforma o en la zona trasera del jardín. Un gran servicio personal y menú después de puedes caminar a lo largo del paseo del ferrocarril.

Buena comida, hecha. El servicio es excelente y hay asientos fuera de lo cual es útil si usted tiene un perro. Aparcamiento disponible.

Stopped in for a lazy breakfast on my way back from a Sunday morning motorcycle ride, great service from freindly staff, lots of people and their dogs around & a cute little Robin who landed on my table and took crumbs from my ✋, great.

Staff worked really well as place was extremely busy.Breakfast looked really great, especially toast, also the scone and jam. My husbands bacon sandwich was a real doorstep. Bit of a wait for my tea cake, but I did get extra tea to go with it.

After a lovely walk from Stourton along the Staffordshire Worcestershire canal finishing along the railway line we ended up at the Railway Cafe...it certainly added an incentive during the last few miles!Staff were very welcoming and despite being extremely busy on a Sunday lunch time, soon sorted out a table for us, and brought us the first of our coffees - which were excellent.A basic but sufficient menu with veggie options (a vegetarian breakfast would be a great addition) to suit walkers and cyclists who are predominantly the main customers.We had none of the issues with poor service which others had commented upon and our cooked food soon arrived. Our only regret was not having room for scones or cake after!The cafe is what it is, in an interesting building, but we certainly left satisfied and happy!

First time we had been here,very welcoming and freindly staff.Food of execellent quality and good value for money.A very welcoming sight after a good walk along the old railway line and a good place to rest awhile and people watch.

On the day I visited it was a pleasant winters day, and the place was very busy. The people there seemed to be a mix of walkers, cyclists and a few just enjoying a pleasant diversion. The welcome is really nice, it's a quirky place serving pleasant but fairly simple food. The coffee is just great. It's got that added old railway station going on with the platform seating looking out onto what would have been the tracks and is now a resource shared by lots of people with various outdoors requirements.

As the title says, the customer service here is... well, none-existent! My family and I arrived on a quiet afternoon (cafe less than half full), to be greeted by dirty uncleared tables all around. We chose one and waited for someone to come and say hello, or even make eye contact. For over twenty minutes. In the meantime, one member of staff came and cleared two tables near us, ignoring ours, and then after a while another came and cleared another. Ignoring us completely again! My wife asked, with a smile, whether it was table service. The teenage girl serving grunted 'er...yeah...' looking at us as if we'd asked if we were humans or aliens. I then asked if she could clear our table, pointing out that we'd been totally ignored. The girl said, with an incredible surliness, that "yeah, I'll come and do it". So at that point, we got up and left. Really sickening attitude. I can't comment on the food because we didn't eat - and we won't be either.

My problem is not with the food - which is OK - it's with the customer care: it stinks! I attempted to arrange a group visit and went to great efforts to make the experience as stress free as possible for all parties - staff and group members (ie paying customers). My efforts were met with negativity and antagonism. Staff made incorrect assumptions then proceeded to infer we intended using their "facilities" even if we weren't paying customers. My attempts to make someone's job a lot easier resulted in insult and disappointment. Never again!

This has been my third visit in recent months and the customer service is consistently terrible. The cafe closes at 3pm and if you order food after about 215 they moan that you have arrived late and then hurry you with your food. It makes for a stressful experience which is such a shame as the cafe is located in a nice spot in a former railway station. Their attitude is like they are doing you a favour.

Living no more than 100yards away, we visit this friendly cafe often and have never been disappointed. The full breakfast is great and excellent value, the cakes are delicious and fresh and of generous proportions! The coffee, tea etc always good and generous, with extra hot water on asking. There are several cafes in Wombourne, but we don't use this just because it's the closest, but because it's the best, the friendliest and with the greatest value for money.

The Cafe is a perfectly located drop in for a tasty treat for those using the disused railway, the Staffs Worcs canal, or myriad of paths in the beautiful surrounding countryside. There's a wide range of hot and cold foods, with inside and outside seating areas (depending on the weather of course), and a happy welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of car parking adjacent.The only problem sometimes is its popularity means that sometimes you have to bear with the friendly staff, but aren't the good things in life worth as little wait ? A real Gem.

A lovely railway station now a cafe. Lots on the menu. Friendly staff and a place to rest in between walking

Visited a number of times after walking the dogs, as is pet friendly if eating outside, the breakfast is very good but the tables outside aren't the best, can be rather unstable and the service a little hit & miss, good but could be fabulous if the garden area was better!

Just nipped here for a cold drink as we'd done a walk. All the outside seats were taken so we sat inside. Wanted to try here after visiting Cupcake Lane in Tettenhall and it was OK but preferred the other one.

lovely stroll along the old railway track then stopped for refreshments, lovely hot sandwiches, friendly, quick service and well behaved dogs are welcome which makes it easier for a family with animals like ours... definitely recommended.

Great stop off whilst on a family cycle, It was only a quick visits with tea and cake buy just what we needed on a nice sunny afternoon. Would recommend

Was a lovely sunny day and stopped off to grab a drink and slice of cake. Last time we visited we could sit out on railway platform overlooking the walk which obviously used to be where the track was. However when we got there it was busy and garden area was full with no seats available but the platform area was empty. No tables and chairs, just big open space that i felt had been wasted. Once a table in the garden had become free (about 5 min wait), order 2 teas and slice of toffee and carrot cake. Whilst a little on the pricey side for a slice of cake - it was beautiful - very tasty! Overall nice visit but def more chairs needed on busy weekends!

Ideal place to break off for light refreshments on the the railway walk. Selling freshly prepared food,,coffee teas ice creams ect. All at affordable prices.

A sunny Saturday after a hard nights graft . We fancied a breakfast but too tired to cook . We rewarded ourselves via a nice walk to the railway cafe . The delightful enclosed gardens were thronged with like minded couples and families alike. The friendly hardworking down to earth staff compliment the food and the location of this old branch line station . Value for money too . Two breakfasts and drinks for less than 14 pounds bargain lots of other choices too . Don't be a sleeper steam on down here and be treated first class .

I stopped in for a quick break on my cycle ride from Wolverhampton to WocesterThis Café is situated in the station of a disused railway line - now the Staffordshire Railway WalkWonderful location and staffHighly recommendedEnjoy :-)

A lovely clean cafe set in a beautiful setting next to the disused railway line in Wombourne. A quiet location at the end of a short drive with plenty of parking next to it. Food is good quality and well priced. Had the full English which was very good. The cakes looked very good too. Will definitely be eating there again.

Have lived in Wombourne for 15 years but never visited this place. My sister was over and had promised to take her there for breakfast before I started cooking for the rest of the family on Father's Day. First impression was very good, lovely location, nice friendly staff, good selection on the menu.. I saw it as a hidden gem and hoped to return frequently. We ordered a small breakfast and a couple of pieces of toast, the drinks came out then waited and waited.The drinks were finished after 30 minutes and I was told that our order was next ( and hadn't started to be cooked yet). There was a table with around 8 people who had ordered just before us, but a cafe should be prepared for this surely? The girl did apologise and let us have our drinks on the house which was nice. I don't expect a Macdonalds type set up but the service needs to be much more efficient. So all in all, we had a nice walk but left the Railway cafe starving!

Recently stopped here with a group of friends, all mums with young toddlers and babies after a pleasant stroll along the railway line. When we arrived we asked if it was ok for our children to eat packed lunches if we were getting drinks and some of us ordering food as well. We were told by the waitress, after checking with her manager that this was ok but only as a one off. Sensing her displeasure we asked to buy take out drinks but she assured us that we were OK to stay. However, we were repeatedly made to feel unwelcome by her subsequent comments and even when handing over our cash we were rudely told that there were picnic benches nearby for next time. Disappointed to be treated this way especially when we asked at start and wouldn't have stayed if it was going to be a problem; to say that she kept hammering the point was an understatement. None of us will be returning here again.

Stopped off for a drink and a snack during a walk with my wife and son. I ordered tea and toast which was lovely. My wife wife ordered a latte and a tea cake and my son ordered a latte. Not sure how they make their latte's, both my wife and son described them as tasteless. After trying them I agreed. A good stir improved them, but for what they cost I would expect better.It is expensive for a cafe, which I don't mind paying if you get the quality and service to go with it. On this occasion we didn't get the quality.

We have called here for a number of years, remember the first time when we asked for Worcester sauce on our cheese on toast & they hadn't got any,The next time only a week or so later- same request & sure enough they had it!Two nice rounds with very tasty cheese- loads of Worcester sauce & sliced tomatoes if you want, a great start to the day!Well worth a visit!

We stopped at the cafe for a coffee on Sunday whilst out riding and what a disappointment. We ordered to medium latte's and were very disappointed that they turned out the be made from powdered sachets even though the charge was almost identical to that of Costa or Starbucks.

Served with a friendly smile. Tasty food and large portions. Cosy atmosphere inside. Children and dogs welcome. Great stop off the old railway on your healthy weekend walks.

A lovely little cafe which always serves excellent quality food. Service is always great and we always feel very welcome. Highly recommend place to eat.

This cafe is built in the old railway station. It's a lovely place for a meal, either after a walk and is also a good area for walking the dog. The cafe is also dog friendly. The staff are always friendly and the meals worth a stop for.They also run a christmas craft fair, usually in December.

Great place to go for breakfast/lunch or just a cuppa. Great walks locally to this venue.lovely staff and great priced food

Have been coming to this cafe for over 4 years now and the staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. They have a wide variety of food to choose from. The food is wonderful. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly too5*

Weekly walks take place starting from the cafe every Thursday at 10am. The group are very friendly and always welcome new members.Walks range in distance each week and there is a list of walks for each month posted up in the cafe.The walks start and finish at the cafe where the group then stay for a bite to eat and a chat.

Me and my missus love bringing the kids here as the food is always amazing and very generous in their portions. The staff are very welcoming and polite, hard working and despite how busy they get, you're never left waiting. I personally always go for the big breakfast, and it fills me for the day. Would certainly recommend this to absolutely everyone, especially those who want fantastic food at good value.

A lovely little Cafe that serves brilliant food, top notch poached eggs and scrummy homemade cake. The staff are very accommodating, you are always welcomed with a big smile and top service. Ideal location for a pit stop munch whilst on a leisurely stroll. Would highly recommend X

We always pop into the Station for our combined walks and light lunches. The food is always excellent and offers a traditional range but with a high quality twist. They upgrade everything to better ingredients, even the Cheese & Tomato on Toast comes on luscious THICK sliced Granary Bread, 2 slices (or thick White), generous amounts of sliced tomato to top it off. Go for a LARGE bowl of soup and that'll keep you going all day. All the staff are welcoming and you food is always prepared fresh and served quickly. We'll keep going back until we've tried everything on the menu. Then start on our favourites again. A popular place even in the depths of a a wet December :-) Keep it up girls! All the best from from Pat & Les at Guitars Electric Ltd.

My friend and I often stop by here at weekends for a hot drink. Staff and customers seem to always be friendly and welcoming and prices are good value. I wish we could eat here more but we can never be sure we will have time to wait for and eat our meal. The food looks and smells so good we will do it one day. For now we just enjoy our teas and coffees and the locality.

We spotted with friends for breakfast after I long walk along the canal.The staff were very friendly and took our order quickly. We were all very pleased with our breakfast sandwiches, I had bacon and mushroom all was cooked fresh and the break tasted homemade. We all agreed the prices were very good valve and we look forward to our next visit.

Me and my friend came to this cafe for breakfast. Everything started well . Food was nice but then what I thought was so so rude - we were basically told to go due to people waiting outside for a table ! bearing in mind my friend is clearly pregnant and we needed the rest. I think that's rude so unfortunately although it was nice food we won't be returning ! Good service needs improving!

Very popular for walkers and cyclists great food and service Mid point break on walk along railway walk Friendly and polite staff

Relaxed cafe on this 5 mile stretch of old railway, where you can walk and cycle. This is a welcome stop. Relaxed and not posh, indoor and outside tables. very popular. Cheap eats. I had a cup of tea and small breakfast for about £5. Very welcome. Very much a walkers cafe and not Sunday lunch with the mother in law.
