The Light Railway Cafe in Shepway

There is a shop & a cafe here, both super friendly and it overlooks the railway station so you can see the trains pull in. We turned up literally 5 minutes before the last train was due in & then they close. The cafe staff were clearly cleaning everything and packing up. We asked for 3 takeaway teas and the lady served us, which i was very grateful for as we were cold and a hot drink was very welcome. I also managed to squeeze a quick purchase at the shop as well. We also saw the last train draw up which was good timing on our part. Friendly and really nice people. Thank you.

Stopped here for food after going on the railway. Large selection of food and drink. It was incredibly busy and it wasn’t even the school holidays! Staff were nice and food came fairly quickly for how busy it was. There some dog friendly tables too.

Called in her for a coffee and cake after train ride it was disgusting tables sticky dirty and full of empty plates floor dirty needed good sweep and it was freezing cold in there air con must’ve been on full it was warmer outside very disappointing We had a scone that was dry and hard

A gem by the steam railway. I was really surprised that it wasn't too busy considering it was school holidays. No queue to speak of and plenty of clean tables. There was some delicious things on the menu reasonably priced too. I decided on the full English and a latte. Which came to 12.00 . I was given a buzzer which beeped when my order was ready. I didn't have to wait long and was really surprised because everything was freshly cooked and hot. Absolutely delicious. I ordered another latte because it was so good. Plenty of seating outside too. Clean toilets and a pleasant gift shop on site. Worth a visit

Extremely popular restaurant. It was very busy when we turned up with the car park full up with cars and coaches. Unfortunately some of the menu was unavailable. However Michael on the till was very helpful and suggested alternatives. Portion sizes were generous and the food was very good. We found it excellent value for money. The added benefit of seeing the trains up close made it extra special!

The worst coffee we’ve ever tasted! Both fiat white & cappuccino tasted foul and powdery leaving a horrid taste in the mouth!

Lovely place expensive very basic food. Bought cheese salad that consisted of Iceberg lettice, tomatoes and cucumber and far too much cheese. Would have been better to have less cheese and a more interesting salad. Bread roll with margarine £1.75 Could have been a lovely experience but turn out the worst meal of the week

The food and coffee, where fowl. Peas where cold, chips over cooked. Skampy watery. Coffee was tasteless. Completly awful.

Firstly the queue was long & slow. Plenty of staff behind the counter though, really didn't get it. We got some sandwiches & cake from the fridge section. All dry & uninteresting. Cake shouldn't be on a fridge section. Shame because the outside seating by the station was great. Certainly wouldn't come again.

There hasn't been any great improvement since the last time we visited. Again we were calling in for a coffee but, this time, with a cake. Disappointing as no Gluten Free choices at all available for my wife and the coffee was machine made and mostly frothy milk. Only pluses, there's free parking, an interesting railway shop adjoining, it's got dog friendly areas and you can watch the trains and enjoy the views.

We are quite regular visitors here. Parking in the car park alongside the station is usually okay. It is more organised than in the past. Each space is marked with a wooden batten. Sadly hardly anyone bothers!!! The restaurant/cafe also houses the ticket office for the RHDR and a small shop. Recently it has become dog friendly. We usually sat outside in the garden, but after a walk across the nature reserve we are able to have a coffee and a snack inside. Tables are marked with 🐾 prints. Good coffee and a chance to watch the trains arrive and depart.

Chaotic, grubby, expensive and uninspiring cafe with insufficient and surly staff, awful food and a shop selling cheap tut, do yourselves a favour, use their loos, get back on the train, eat a packed lunch and enjoy the views, never, ever again!

Surprisingly good sandwiches, good coffee and pleasant service in a cafe whilst you can watch the trains - ideal

Triple check prices on their gifts. Purchased something today, item marked up as one price, then charged considerably more for it. When questioned after the transaction went through why the item was so much more Steve was rude and his little side kick wasn’t any better simply saying that yes the gifts have different prices on the label to what customers pay????

We called in for coffee in the middle of the afternoon. It had obviously been a busy lunch time because a lot of the tables still had dirty crockery on them. However, these were cleared quite quickly. Lunch was over but snacks were still available. The staff were friendly enough and the coffee was tasty.

Nice lunch and friendly helpful staff Pasty chips and beans was very tasty and interesting to see the train come in and leave. Shop with railway memorabilia

My father was ill over Christmas but wanted to get him out for dinner once he was feeling better, so after work drove him to this cafe at the RHDR which he loves. Couldn't find a phone number to check, so tweeted to ask they were open. After 24 hours and no reply I checked online and advertised as open everyday 09:30 to 16:15 with a full menu of hot food options to download. We left at 2 pm and 45 min drive later we arrived at Dungeness to find ourselves amongst dog walkers, ramblers, fishermen, and day trippers. We walked in to see two women sitting eating chocolate and drinking tea in a large modern metal and glass eatery which felt cold, characterless and uninviting. We asked for two hot meals only to be told kitchen is shut and we're closing in 15 mins. I said that's not what it says online. She replied well we're closing early because of the weather ??? It was a bit blustery as far as I saw and it rained in the morning. The Britannia Inn a few doors away looked busy in the car park! Staff didn't seem bothered. No customer service, I shall not be using them in the future if they can't be bothered to open the advertised time. Not so much as an apology. Waste of time, fuel and a disappointment.

We visited the RHDR on Tuesday, we arrived at the End of the Line at 1p.m and discovered they had no Jacket potatoes left. My wife is celiac so sandwiches, sausage rolls etc are of no use, the only option offered was a fried egg and chips! Seriously, in the half term week to run out that early? There only appeared to be 3 staff manning the entire kitchen and people were waiting a long time for food, our egg &chips took 20 minutes. Apart from the Brittania Inn there is no other option at Dungeness so they have a moderately captive clientele. Not impressed.

5 out of 5 food has been upgraded for sure with the new chef! Corkers have replaced the cheap sausages, the bacon was cooked to perfection! A huge improvement

We have been a few times for a breakfast, which was okay. This time it was excellent. The chef Richard/ Riccardo has vastly improved the quality of the ingredients. Korkers sausages and descent back bacon were served. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

We visited the end of the line restaurant and the restaurant was immaculately kept ,recommend the fish and chips best we have ever had ,we returned before we came home they were that good ,just make sure you are hungry

Where to start? Service: the two ladies serving were both quite rude and shouldn't be people facing. When a gent before me in the queue asked for a pasty was told bluntly "run out", he asked for a specific sandwich and was told "self service, go back and get it". He was blatantly not impressed. I asked for a cream tea and told they don't do them, however, they do sell all the ingredients but just not as an item. I went with this and my wife had one. I had a tea and a sausage roll. Absolutely nothing special and at £10.30, no way value for money. As a place at the end of the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway, it's well presented and clean with good facilities. Please train your staff to be be a bit more polite, either revisit your pricing or improve the quality and you have a winner. Hence only rated a 2.

Good, modern cafe doubling as the station at the end of the RHD railway - the train pulled in as we were drinking our coffee. Reasonably coffee and OK sandwiches at a reasonable price

A smart new facility at the end of the light railway, however the cafe and toilets left a lot to be desired. The sandwiches were very dry, made with cheap bread and cheese. Surely it's not that difficult to make a decent sandwich! The scone...

Radically changed since our last visit to Dungeness back in 2003. Let's start with the positives. The extension / rebuilding works just fine. You could eat your snacks off the floor or any other surfaces in the New Loos. We are in 2022. When a...

Such a shame they are still not back to their old service and using Covid as an excuse to run a cut down one. Plastic cutlery no plates limited condiments. Cut down menu with increased prices.

This restaurant has so much potential. Large, modern, open kitchen. All that was on offer was fish and chips or pie and chips or snacks. I had a sausage roll which was dry, with a cheap unseasoned filling, and was completely uninspiring. The place is...

Remarkably they were open. Unsurprisingly it's a bit pricey (eatery attached to steam railway) and the range is never very wide but the tea and Mocha on Easter Sunday were nice.

Strange times at the moment so dont think the cafe was at its best. Plenty of outside seating so that was good. The food on offer was limited but good and the coffee was OK. Best bit was watching the train leave. Loved it

we have been to this Restaurant for a cuppa and a sandwich after some local birdwatching a dozen or so times over the last month and sitting outside as we only live fairly locally but now you are not able to sit outside (the only...

It must have been the Covid factor that reduced the food options to almost zero on a busy day in Dungeness. We had to settle for sandwiches with boring fillings - and there were few of these on offer.

Run of the mill restaurant and gift shop. Nice garden to sit and watch trains coming and going. Good cuppa. Bins could do with emptying a bit more often because it’s windy here and lots of rubbish blowing about.

The Restaurant managed to give us a good choice of food in spite of all the rules and regulations at the moment and once again it was a joy to be there again. It was super too to enjoy a drink from the hut which the RHDR have inherited from Romney Marsh Beers (another wonderful "amenity" to be enjoyed on the Marsh. Thank you to all the hard working staff.

I've wanted to visit Dungeness for a long time, so jumped at the chance to visit on the railway. Plan was to have lunch, a quick stroll and get the train back. Not so. Instead, I spent most of an hour stood in a queue, only to get to the front (with a now much downgraded order of takeaway chips) to be told that there was a 20 minute wait for food and our train was due in 8 minutes. So instead, I paid £15 for some crisps, kitkats and drinks for the family.The restaurant was in chaos, the staff stressed (and invited me to make a complaint) and we left hungry, seeing practically nothing of the place we'd come to visit.Its half term. 3 staff would never have been enough

We visit regularly. Food freshly prepared and usually good. Today had their February special of quiche and chips which was very nice. Well done for adding to the menu in this way.

This is an excellent cafe, with friendly staff. Previous incarnations have only opened when the railway has been running, which could be frustrating. It offers a welcome refuge when the weather is less than friendly, and has excellent views across the 'Ness from its panoramic windows. When the railway is running, it's a great place to sit and watch your train come in!

First class service, nothing too much trouble. Typical cafe food which was well presented, hot and tasty. Also very reasonably priced.

I walked in desperate for 2 coffees for me and my bf as there are no other cafes in the ares at literally 30 secs-1 minute after they close. All staff and lots of other customers still there all drinking yet was told they had closed. Rubbish customer service. Could have made an exception in my opinion, I would have done. Not going back.

We were in a group travelling the whole Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway. We stopped here for lunch (pre ordered) We were in a reserved section, by the railway. Service was good and the staff were friendly and cheerful. We had pre-ordered fish and chips. These were excellent - very tasty and more than enough for anybody. We had two of our party on special diets and they catered for this without fuss. Excellent.

Good place for a quick snack, you can sit and watch the trains come and go. You can pop over the road to the old Dungeness light house. It gets quite busy at times.

We thought the cafe was good value and were really pleased to see vegan options on cakes and ice creams, as a couple of our group were vegans. Light and airy with tables facing out over tracks. Toy corner for little ones was disappointing though, a very grubby train track table with no actual trains. No outdoor park like at the New Romney station either which leaves little for kids to do. Very friendly service

Me and my niece and nephew decided to grab lunch here during our day out on the RH & DR, the building was really nicely air conditioned which was heavenly as it was a very hot day. For the kids I had a burger with chips, and sausage chips and beans which they loved, and for myself the battered cod and chips. The peas looked a little off colour but tasted absolutely fine, the food was lovely the batter and fish were a little tasteless though, still nice. Good prices, my kids got a couple of milkshakes before we left too.

When visiting Dungeness there's not a lot of choice if you want a quick drink or a light meal but the R,H & D restaurant fills the gap nicely. Modern, clean and airy, with great views of the arriving trains, it's a nice place to rest your feet before exploring

Not allowed in as we have a dog so we got wet and hungry .A simple shelter in the garden would have been appreciated.

We attended the cafe with our family 2x adults and 2x children. The staff were very disorganised. All the good came out separately. They forgot my bacon baguette. So when it did come out (after everyone else had finished) how shocked was I to find 2 slices of bacon in the baguette. It didn't even cover the whole breaded area. I had to be creative with ketchup as not to eat dry bread. Very disappointed.

Bank holiday visit to our local resort for walks and sea views. Great to get a coffee which luckily was available however i still cannot undersrand why prices have to be so high. Two hot chocolates 5 pound not even tasting nice for kids. Sandwiches 3 pound for 2 slices of bread and a filling. Service i found today poor. Two chaps ignored me and my two children and served those who cut in. Very poor and really rude. In this day and age this small cafe needs to enter the new world. Luckily it doesnt distract from great views and beaches. Also value for money is important for the record. Parking free but good luck getting space when busy and filled with boy racers.

We just called in here for an ice cream after doing some birdwatching in the area. It was a quiet time as no train was due in for half an hour. There's the restaurant and small shop with railway memorbilia and a car park adjacent.

I came here with a group. We all had fish and chips, and both were excellent. The fish was moist and tender with thin crisp batter, and the chips nicely browned with no hint of the sogginess which you so often have to put up with chip-shop chips. The smart modern glass-walled café added to the experience. Heartily recommended.

We often go to Dungeness to bird spot etc and today we had been there since early morning so was ready for a coffee and a snack so went to this cafe.omg the worse food ever ... a beef and horseradish sandwich filled with margarine and a scrap of beef and a sausage roll!!!!! That sausage roll had never seen sausage meat, I don’t know what it was but it was white mush inside the pastry and the coffee!!! Well it was white with froth on the top and that’s about all. Do not go here, absolutely cheap and nasty

Great place for a quick lunch, can get busy when the train arrives but the food served very quickly, staff very friendly, would go back when passing !

Quibble - I don't recon 0900 to 1600 is all day! We were disappointed to find breakfast didn't start until nine as we are birders (plenty of whom very regularly visit Dungeness) who like to be out at the crack of dawn and are starving by 8.00am. We had a meeting locally so could not chance a first sitting.However, we decided after the meeting to have a very late (midday) breakfast.The service was phenomenally fast (big thanks for that). My de-caf fresh black coffee was surprisingly acceptable... not too weak which is often the case.Breakfast was... OK. My veggie breakfast was a slight variation (no sausage but an extra egg as requested) which was not a problem to them. Eggs were a bit flacid... I'm a fan a fast-fried eggs which keeps the yolk runny but ALL the white cooked through... why do English eateries not offer more 'cooked to order' eggs? The (tinned?) sliced mushrooms are a terrible let down.. virtually no taste. An uncooked very slightly skin singed tomato did nothing for me either. beans, Toast, 'hashbrowns' were fine. Bouquet - Just about the most modern, clean and fresh smelling toilets I've ever seen. A fully fitted disabled toilet too. Very well done as such facilities are rarely given the attention we all want and when I eat out and find the 'facilities' poor quality it always makes me fear about kitchen hygiene. Five star loos (and these were) deserve plaudits.

The cafe was run like a McDonald's really... go cue up for ages to order your food. We had jacket potatoes... straight out of the microwave, no butter and very small amount of filling. Won't bother wasting money again

Lovely large cafe in fabulous location unfortunately they couldn’t provide any hot or freshly prepared food! What a very odd way to run a business; no hot or freshly prepared food served due to an order of fish and chips being mde by another group. Perhaps they should advertise that hot or fresh food is hit and miss depending on what group they have taken a food order for. Wondering whether they had thought about employing more people!

Helpful and friendly staff able to get lots of information. Good basic snacks and food and a very welcome beer on a hot afternoon

Came here after a walk with out friendly spaniel. Food was less than impressive although not terribly expensive. Dog not allowed in the cafe, although was allowed to walk through shop. We sat outside like pariahs where our food became cold in moments. I chose tomato and basil soup with a roll - big mistake - soup was tinned tomatoes with a few chunks of frozen veg thrown in for ‘good measure’ - no sign of any basil, bland and very unimpressive- probably cost 40p to make and they charged me £6 - oh yes and the roll was an enormous bap, fresh at some point in the week, but like cardboard now - not the best!!!!My husband had fish and chips and would have thoroughly enjoyed it had we not had to sit outside with our dangerous dog!!! It’s such a shame that dogs are not allowed in a cafe such as this, after all he isn’t a wild animal! Shan’t be returning and I suggest you don’t either, especially if you have a dog!!

Taking a drive out along the coast road ended up at the wild and wacky Dungeness! A pleasant hot Chocolate and carrot cake in the refurbished cafe by the miniature railway station :)

As members of the RHDR we like to support whenever we can, so we chose to drop in for a coffee while at Dungeness at about 2.30pm. Now, whilst we recognise that it had been unusually good weather at the beginning of Spring, so the Cafe may not have been well-staffed and might have had a swell of people for lunch before our arrival, what we were quite frankly appalled at was the dirtiness of the cafe dining area. There were only a couple of other people in the dining area. There were a couple of staff sitting having a drink near the servery.The dining area had crockery uncleared on several tables. None of the tablecloths were wiped sufficiently clean, leaving crumbs on all of them and several were badly stained from spillages. In addition the floor needed a good sweep in several areas as there were significant levels of food crumbs spread about. The coffee was not good, with a taste similar to when left on a hotplate for a period. At the price charged we expect better!Given that we could have gone to 2 other venues nearby for a coffee we were very disappointed with this experience. It left us feeling frankly that we will check the area before ordering when we visit in future. Not a good advertisement for the RHDR!The redeeming factor was the friendliness of the servery staff.

Enjoyed watching the steam train in the station and had a nice cup of tea from the cafe. Not super clean but good toilets here. Very reasonably priced

This place is an amazing place to have a meal and so much to do. You get to see the trains rolling past as you are eating, you can also go to the lighthouse if you are u for the steps and failing that, you can even go for a paddle by the beach. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly and the gift shop gives it a nice little touch. The food is always outstanding and it is a nice little end to a journey on the RH&DR.

Although we did not travel on the steam train, we did sit in the restaurant and enjoy the view of the trains arriving. The restaurant was very clean. The self service was busy and there was a queue. The staff were friendly and courteous. On a cold day, the hearty soup and bread roll were an excellent way to warm up.

although we never ate or drunk in the restaurant,what we did see looked lovely,we bought a few bits from the shop there ,and paid at the food till by a very friendly lady.the place was very clean and looked new.plenty of parking,would like to return in the summer,when the train is running.

We last came here before the big refit, when the place was dated but very charming and old-school with it. Now it more closely resembles a hospital canteen, which is a shame. It was empty of customers when we arrived, but every table by the window was really dirty with spilled salt and congealed ketchup splashes. We asked the younger of the two staff members if she could clean a table for us and she replied with a brusque "yep." We noticed she didn't take the opportunity to clean any of the other tables. The hot food options were limited (no veggie breakfast for example) so as they were empty we asked if they could do cheese on toast for us. "No, we can't I'm afraid. Everything we do is on the menu over there." Not a big deal, but it was pretty obvious that we knew cheese on toast wasn't on the menu - that's why asked if it was possible.We then thought we might like tea and cake, but the cakes were in the chiller and were absolutely freezing, so in the end we just had a cup of tea each and shared a 4-finger KitKat.Final thing to note, while we were looking at the chiller and talking to the member of staff, her colleague seemed to be skulking behind kitchen equipment staring at us in, we felt, a contemptuous manner. This might be an unfair assessment and she just have been having a bad day or been wearing an unfortunate expression. Not in a big rush to return!

Un petit resto qui ne paye pas de mine , avec un magasin de souvenirs pour acheter des oeufs de dinosaures ! on se sent tellement zen à dungeness qu'on a pas envie de critiquer ,c'est gentillet ,voilà !

I’ve been visiting Dungeness since 1954, not so frequently these days and last week I was impressed by the modernisation of the cafe and station, very impressive.Dungeness is a weird and wonderful spot, bizarrely with two lighthouses!We had coffees and pastries and then a short walk during which I marvelled at the transformation of so many fishermen’s huts!

A very clean tidy tea rooms staff are chatty and the cafe has A large weld tion of cakes and sweets ,toilets very clean.

If you are in this neck of the woods do pop in and have a coffee or snackhere. Lovely spot (even with the power station) and you get to watch the train chug in too.

We had a ride on the small train service from St Marys Bay to Dungeness. We had lunch of fish and chips at this recently refurrbished restaurant. Fish and chips were excellent. Good service and all very clean. If you want to judge a restaurant cleanliness by the state of their toilets, these were spotless.So a good meal after a fun ride on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway

Lots to offer in the cafe and small shop and if traveling on the train good place to wait and situated next to old lighthouse

Situated at the Dungeness RHDR railway station the End of the Line is now a much expanded restaurant and gift shop where you buy an inexpensive breakfast, lunch or dinner + coffees, teas, cakes and ice cream. There is also a gift shop and modern toilets. You can buy train tickets in the gift shop. Excellent place to sit and look at the old fishing houses.

Located at the end of the Romney Hythe & Railway this place has recently been enlarged and modernised. Plenty of car parking and good views over Dungeness dunes. The small scale trains stop right outside the cafe. Unpretentious short menu. You have to queue to order but this doesn't take long and hot food orders are delivered very quickly by a team of waitresses. We called in on a Bank Holiday Monday and it was very busy. We had sausage, egg and chips and a Prawn Jacket Potatoe with salad. Both were freshly prepared and excellent quality and at a reasonable price. Tables are very basic and you help yourself to cutlery and condiments but dirty dishes are cleared quickly and everything is clean and tidy. Overall well worth a visit.

My wife and I had been walking around the various nature reserves in the area wildlife spotting, it was lunch time so we decided to go the the end of the line restaurant at the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway Dungeness.We entered and found that it was very busy as a train had recently stopped at the station, we began to think this was a mistake, but how wrong we were, there was quite a queue at the counter which seemed to diminish at warp speed due to the efficiency of the staff, we managed to find a small table for two which was clean and within a few minutes our order arrived, the food was very nice and at a reasonable price, the latte coffee was also very nice, so much better and cheaper than Costa.The staff were excellent, hard working, efficient and very friendly, so rare nowadays, top marks to the management and staff for a pleasant experience.

Staff were rushed off their feet as it was really busy, but they were lovely and working hard. Food was great.

Polite and friendly staff. Free WiFi and USB charging points. Good selection of food, quick service. Great views.

Basic cafe, for drinks, cakes and easy meals, it's fine, limited but functional and is the gift shop and ticket office for the light railway. Good for a cup of tea after a walk on the reserve.

If you are waiting for a train on the RH&DR then the air conditioned cafe provides a welcome respite from the summer heat. Good choice of food and drinks.

Visiting the RHDR, this is a nice place to sit and look out onto Dungeness and the trains whilst having lunch. Hot pasty was tasty. Good value and profits will help the railway.

We have eaten here several times and always liked the food. It’s pleasant and the portions are good. It can get quite busy but the service is still very good.

Just had a quick visit and a drink whilst waiting for the train to return to Hythe but what we saw looked nice, Drinks were fine and freshly made. Very clean, service great and the staff were very friendly...

Myself and my other half went from Hythe to the end of line restaurant got there lovely meal weather was lovely as well happy staff

Had a quick bite here before heading back to Hythe on the train, we didn't eat in but instead chose to eat our sandwiches on the train, reasonable price and quite tasty, only criticism is my sandwich was supposed to be a tuna and sweet corn according to the label but there was no sweet corn in site!

Cafe has much improved since a couple of years ago. Travelled on the railway on a charter for evening dinner at the cafe, which is at Dungeness Station of the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, the end of the line (hence what cafe is called). Fish and chips was fresh and nicely cooked, served with peas and a chunk of lemon. Dessert was a choice between hot apple pie with ice cream, or raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake, all very nice. Followed by tea and coffee. A lovely evening out in summer, the railway holds a couple of evening trips with dinner here for everyone in summer months. Very pleasant. There is outside seating too, a shop, and good toilet facilities here. Worth the trip.

I had the full English breakfast, acceptable but not outstanding. The restaurant is clean with friendly helpful staff. You can sit in a window seat and take in the views and the trains as they approach and leave the station. Excellent stuff.

Decaf coffee was instant. No hot milk available. Served with no effort with granules floating on top. Extortionate so refused it. All that opportunity to serve a really good coffee to all those day trippers missed . Poor show .

We popped in for a quick drink before we got the next train back on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway - the staff were friendly, service was good, we enjoyed what we had!

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised to find a modern-looking cafe in this out of the way spot while exploring the Dungeness area. First impressions were encouraging as the place seemed spacious, clean enough and the menu, though very basic, was OK. I ordered a sausage breakfast bap, my wife a bacon one. The food was ready within a few minutes and drinks were available immediately. Immediately I picked up my bap I could see two disappointing things; the sausage was dry and obviously had been re-heated (or maybe just kept warm). More important was the fuzz attached to the bottom of my bap. I tugged at it thinking it was dust or a bit of spider web. It just kept coming and when I turned it over about a quarter of the base was covered in mould - a mix of grey and blue. I took it back to the server at the till. Granted she was a bit busy with two customers waiting but when I asked her what she thought the material on my bap was, she dismissed it as "just the dust from the baking paper". Nonetheless she took it from me and handed it to the "chef" who immediately chucked it in the bin and went off to get another. No apology, no acknowledgment I'd been served food unfit to eat. Very disappointing. I felt I was lied to to cover up a mistake, possibly to reassure the waiting customers. I know what a floury bap looks like and this wasn't it. This reaction just compounded my initial concern and disappointment. Perhaps the cook could be forgiven for not spotting a mouldy bun but an apology or even an expression of concern would have gone a long way once it was pointed out.My wife said her coffee was not very nice though her bacon bap was OK. As visitors to the area, we're unlikely to come back to Dungeness but if we do we certainly won't return to the End Of The Line restaurant.

Previous visit was just after the new cafe building had opened and was very disappointing, however on this visit was pleased to see a great improvement.

Had lunch here yesterday and were impressed with the modern decor, and wonderful views over the marshes unless, of course, a train was in which whilst being fascinating did slightly interfere with the view.The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the food was good, tasty and well presented. It was not haute cuisine but you didn't come here for that, but affords a visitor to this captivatingly unique strangely haunting area, a most welcome watering hole.

Love having lunch watching the trains and enjoying the view. Winter menu slightly more restricted ( my favourite is chilli and chips which disappears in the winter) food comes quickly and generally fresh and hot.

This is the cafe at the end of the railway so is useful and has a fairly captive clientele. It does not have a very appealing atmosphere, and feels like a 'greasy spoon'. Most tables needed wiping and when they were wiped the crumbs headed for the floor. Our coffee was just about adequate.

It was getting to the end of the day and we just wanted a coffee and cake. The cake didn’t look good so didn’t bother and the latte tasted as if it had come out of a packet and was sweet. The mint tea was tasteless.The place was like sitting in a station waiting room, which is what it was. The only good bit was watching the little train come in and people squeezing into the carriages.

Tried it, as it's local. Lovely inside, tables and chairs could do with some nicer ones as they look like ones in a school. Scrambled eggs and salmon very nice however the mushrooms on the big breakfast are absolutely a disgrace.

The cafe is modern and looks clean and tidy. It has plenty of space. We ordered two cups of tea and a jacket potato and a bacon bap. The tea was hot, the jacket potato was well cooked and hot (there was also a good side salad). The bacon bap was tasty but a bit fatty and not as hot as I would like. Overall a good lunch for a sensible price.

Had breakfast mushrooms watery the eggs cold just not nice and expensive should have gone to my local cafe

Found this restuarant on a particularly cold and windy day. A welcome retreat. Will be back to investigate this interesting area.
