Shenton Station Cafe in Hinckley and Bosworth

Dropped in last week during a walk. Nice sausage sarnie and a coffee. Decided a revisit today Sunday 12th march during a bike ride. Not open. I suppose it could be for many reasons such as illness, but it was still a pain as this was a planned refuel stop.

Unable to resist the aroma of frying onions, I ate a cheeseburger at this small, friendly café and it was very tasty indeed. Most of the items on ffer are of this kind - burgers, hotdogs etc. but there are also cakes, biscuits, ice-cream and milkshake. The prices are very reasonable and you can sit out on the platform, watching steam trains come and go. Recommended.

Situated on the platform of the station. A great little cafe, with lovely, friendly staff, a very good choice of food and drink options, which are excellent value for money. The bacon cobs are scrummy! Will go again.

Lovely little café on the station at Shenton, a lovely place to stop of for drinks and food whilst walking around the Bosworth Battlefield route. Kind friendly staff and great prices. The additional benefit is you can watch steam trains pulling in and out of the station whilst you relax and enjoy the ambiance of an historic station site. Well worth a visit

My brother and I were walking the Bosworth trail and happened upon this cafe. Both being vegan we were planning on just grabbing a drink. However, there are 4 vegan options and vegan magnums on offer! More than you get at most pubs! We opted for the sausage roll which was massive and tasty with vegan mayo and butter! Great value for money and wonderful service thank you very much, we will be back :)

Stopped here between trains on the Battlefield Line after our walk around Bosworth Field. Delicious cobs with attentive, friendly, polite service

lovely walk round the Bosworth battle fields, The cafe was open & the toilets, quite a few people but everyone was social distancing. Heritage centre wasn't open

Welcoming, friendly, and hospitable. Had a reviving cup of tea and took in the quality memorabilia and railwayania which decorate this little tea room. Staff make this place. Perfect break on a cycling route, big thanks too for helping me out when I hadn’t got the right cash!

Walked from Bosworth field site to Railway area to see steam trains brilliant, as it was late morning we were just having drinks but the smell of bacon was so enticing an order for bacon butties followed. Run by volunteers you need to be patient but will be rewarded by freshly cooked bacon/sausages. Lots of people calling in for eats very busy and train came in too added bonus.

Lovely cafe at the station for the steam railway. Nice walk to Bosworth battlefield centre or along the old railway line which is now a flat footpath.

A train station café. Not a Michelin Star venue, just a very welcome stop 1/2 way round our walk. Reasonable prices - they sell hot and cold drinks, ice-creams, sweets and hot snacks. In the same building is an art and crafts shop, with some lovely blown glass items for sale. A few old style tables and chairs inside, but some railway benches outside also. Our warm sausage rolls did take quite a while to emerge - so if you are in a hurry, pick something else.

This is a great little café, run by volunteers. As such it is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. It is well worth a visit, they do an excellent coffee and bacon bap for about £3.10, great value.

The sign outside looks promising, even the menu on the window does too but going inside it doesn’t look like it could produce even the simplest food so we just have a coffee that was like an instant variety. Maybe in the summer and when the trains are running perhaps it’s better then. On out visit there was just a lady in the tiny shop which had two tables inside. In what must have been the old waiting room was a glass maker, furnace and equipment for blowing glass. She had some really lovely pieces for sale, worth a look.

Came across Shenton Station when out for a walk with our dogs.It is a great spot for walking and picnicking.Just a shame cafe was not open that day.Would have loved a cuppa.But nice walk.

The cafe in the wonderfully preserved Shenton Station is the perfect place for a bite to eat during a walk or cycle ride. Excellent value for money too with a bacon roll for only £2!

This is a regular stop. Outside seating is lovely on a sunny day, especially when the trains are running. The glassblower works next door and is mesmerising - there is always a fascinated crowd. inside the cafe is small with a couple of tables that are warm on a winter's day.The cafe is dog friendly and run by volunteers to support the steam railway. Lots of walking nearby with a good circuit up to the Bosworth battlefield and back along the canal.The bacon rolls are highly recommended by both me and the dog!

The aroma of bacon rolls as you approach the station cafe. Mmmmmm! Sausage. Egg. Mushroom. Tomato. Beans too! Whatever you want and good prices too and friendly service.

Fabulous find, never realised it was here until today. Cheap and cheerful and at least half the price of another eaterie on this walk (as well as more food for your money!). Dog-friendly but we chose to sit outside to make the most of the sunshine. Two bacon butties and two sausage butties (or cobs in Leics!) - asked how we wanted the bacon cooked and done to perfection! Lady serving apologised for the time taken to prepare - she was a person down - but it wasn't a problem. Great parking across the rail tracks, lovely and quiet, plenty of seating - could even sit on the platform if we had wanted to. Quirky inside and an art gallery / studio as well. Our new refreshment stop!

Nice stop on the walk around the battlefield. Mug of tea, bacon sandwich, - perfect Easy parking next to the station, or park at Sutton wharf £1 and walk round the canal path

After a walk on a cold windy day, a lovely cup of tea at the cosy station cafe was much appreciated. Hats off to all the volunteers who give up their time to provide this service and support the Battlefield Railway.

Lovely little cafe where you can sit outside on the station. Lovely food.Really pleasant place to stop and refresh after a long country walk around Market Bosworth Highly recommend

Brilliant service and nice and friendly cafe with 2 amazing chefs that you can have a nice friendly chat with. Well worth the money also with a nice selection of food .

Lively little cafe, very friendly staff. Dog friendly. Great for walkers and cyclists. Indoor and outdoor seating, nice to watch the trains go up and down with a cup of coffee and a delicious bacon cob!

Well! come on it's a station cafe and a fine one for all that. Oysters and Caviar you do not get but a nice cup of tea and a fair selection of cakes and suchlike. Should the sun be shining there is a sweet bit of outdoor seating where you can watch the occasional train come and go and spot the Trainspotters.

Great day out for the family on the surrounding area and nice little cafe for a mid way bacon cob or breakfast.
