The Old Station Inn in Bath and North East Somerset

Love this place great food and beers, great service and atmosphere. Great publicans. Go you will enjoy it.

The pub owners are super lovely and accommodating. On my last visit my order got mixed up and instantly fixed it but allowed my grandad to have the meal that they'd written down in error as an apology. Fantastic service food is always hot, on time and beautifully served. Will visit as often as I can!

We have popped in just for food, loved the place, and the service, food was also good!

Excellent food at reasonable prices, friendly people and the nostalgia of a railway carriage - thoroughly enjoyed it.

I just love this place. Nev and Debbie are hostesses with the mostess! The pub is warm, cosy, quirky, friendly with SO many weird and wonderful items all around to look at. The carriage is beautiful and a really lovely place for a meal out, amazing atmosphere, food was fantastic and good size portions and made a really special evening in a unique environment. The rooms are basic but comfortable and as a disabled person I had the best night sleep in ages in a very comfy bed. I was very impressed with the amount of tea and coffee sachets in the room, more than enough for someone like me who drinks a LOT of tea!. Shower was good and room was warm and cosy. Thanks for a great time.

Five of us went for a early dinner. Two had salmon which they said was very tasty. My husband had sausage and mash, he said the best he ever had. I had the Thai chicken curry which was wonderful, I could eat it again now. Definitely will returning

Together with my wife we visited the old station inn. An unexpected visit, near by our campsite. We had a wonderfull meeting with other visitors. But as well the pub and restaurant, so nice and with a positive energy. The reason: Debby and her husband! Friendly, warm and open for their guests. The next evening we went back to enjoy our diner. In one word: fantastic. As well the desert, sitting in an old train carriage. Our advise: come, try and have the experience! Regards, Anneke and JP from Holland.

Das Ambiente war schön, das Essen lecker und das Personal superfreundlich. Der umgebaute Speisewagen ist sehr schön gemacht. Gemütliche Pubatmosphäre. Parken kein Problem. Wir bekamen einen Tisch zur Lunchzeit, obwohl wir keine Reservierung hatten. Sehr sehr nette Leute.

A unique setting for a wonderful meal. Myself and four friends arranged for an evening meal in this venue of a once railway carriage now offering a spacious and comfortable dining setting. The menu is varied and full of choices for any appetite. Service and food is faultless with a good measure of attention and humour. We really liked the presentation of each of our dishes with the choice of plates to enhance our particular menu choice. Cannot recommend the Old Station Inn highly enough.

Excellent food and service very reasonably priced and will definitely return in the future. Lovely atmosphere

Live very locally. Popped in for lunch, tasty generous portions with plentiful condiments on request. Friendly owners. Eclectic mix of interesting decor, pleasantly quirky. No complaints... Well recommended if you are hungry. Will return.

The is a wonderful quirky country pub, with a pair of owners totally committed to complete customer satisfaction. Dinner was served in an old converted railway carriage filled with relevant antiques and memorabilia…. Food was superb with a wide choice and freshly prepared, and served in a cheerfully friendly way. Likewise a wide choice of wines at very reasonable prices I was so surprised at this refreshing experience that I had to write a glowing review….

Excellent food and atmosphere, sat in the garden after eating could have stayed there all night. Really good choice of cocktails.

Had a lovely lunch here on Saturday. Fabulous service. Quirky pub. Very friendly and chatty. Food was delicious and generous portions. We would certainly recommend this place.

Amazing good - the Seafood Thai curry and fish and chips were incredible. Such a lovely atmosphere. A proper pub with superb food.

I was invited here by a very good friend, who said, wait until you see this... I will not give away spoilers. I drove, and there was an anxious moment when I was told to avert my gaze to keep the surprise. When I entered, (fnarr, fnarr, for those that know!) I thought the surprise was the real traditional pub, with quirky knick-knacks all around, board and puzzle games everywhere (I am champion snakes and ladders King, but keep that sssh between you and I) I was already spellbound. Then I was taken to the dining area. You'll see. Food, too plentiful and amazing, the atmosphere topped it, as did all the super friendly staff and owners. Put it on your bucket list and thank me later. xx

What a nice find! We happened across this place randomly as we were driving and sat in the carriage area. Our 2 year old loves the experience. The staff were so friendly and the atmosphere in the carriage was such a lovely experience. The food was nice too, husband and I had the chicken pie. I like that it came with lots of nice fresh vegetables. We would love to come back again

Had Sunday lunch thire on our way to Exmouth this was our second visit here the food is always fantastic the landlady is friendly and aways has time for her customers recommend dinner in the carriage it's a real treat we will always call when in area.

Came here and dined in the carriage, loved the quirkiness of it, clean, great service, fab tasting food and huge portions! We had pork belly starter, garlic bread and goats cheese all amazing but the pork belly was especially divine. For mains we had chicken, fish and chips (kids) and steak all were again home cooked and super tasty, huge portions. We shared a lemon posset for desert and I can honestly say this is the best one I’ve tasted! Would highly recommend and will come back if in the area!

Have to say the food was fab tonight and service was spot on. Couldn't fault this pub in any way. The inns quirkiness just adds to the character. Defo would 100% recommend.

I'd totally forgotten when last visited, the beer (Butcombe Original) was not the best. Unfortunately it was not any better this time. The Butcombe Original was not on form, (although just about drinkable) so I opted for Butcombe Gold for my 2nd pint, which was...

Twice in the last two months, I and my family have had lunch at this quirky inn. The friendly welcome and food are something that is so missing in many other inns. The food is to die for. I cannot wait to come back again,...

We called to book a table I was politely and kindly as to pop by .....I'm so glad we did! We were taking my mother in law out for her Birthday it also happens to be the 5 year anniversary of her husband's death so...

Lovely Pub, friendly people, interesting railway carriage to dine in No Vegan starters or desserts and only one main which was fine, but not special

Most enjoyable lunch at the Old Station Inn which is a quirky pub in Hallatrow. Great service from Debbie - also loved the Rhubarb Crumble! Thanks

The owners and staff here are fantastic! Definitely going the extra mile for us and our hot dog🐕The beer garden has plenty of space and lots of shade during the recent hot weather. Great beer and generous portions of good food. The pie is a...

Went for a meal with my partner sat in the carriage which in itself has a lovely atmosphere. Food was soo tasty and high quality. Service was ever so friendly and welcoming! Rebooked to go back in a fortnight! Definitely hidden gem this pub! Food...

Four of us ate here this evening and had a lovely meal in the converted train carriage which was an interesting touch. We each thought our food was delicious and would return here again!

Largish party - we filled the carriage. A different and new experience. Food good, amazing service. Drinks not cheap, but not too eyewatering high. Good atmosphere, great time had by all.

Very welcoming, very friendly helpful people, the menu is quite extensive if you like meat, and there are 3 vegetarian meals to choose from, I love fish, the salmon meal is lovely and I believe I’ve had sea bass in the past but for me...

My wife and I stayed the night in this lovely quirky Inn. There is a restaurant train carraige attached to the old station house. The food was fantastic and the people very friendly. We will go again

Another superb stay at the old station inn with Debbie, Neville and family, this warm, cosy and inviting rural pub has it all, the atmosphere is great, the staff are friendly and polite and can’t do enough for you. Add to that the exquisite dining...

A regular favourite over many years. There has been 2 occasions when we have occupied the entire carriage for a family event.

Terrible experience with Sunday roast, potatoes and veg not cooked properly just overall not good quality. Was expecting great food but Really disappointed.

What a hidden gem! A friendly pub with a novelty railway carriage restaurant at the back of this quirky pub. So much attention to detail has gone into this and the food was delicious with big portion sizes and a varied menu. Not part of any chain but an independently run pub/restaurant. You will not be disappointed! It even has a mini crazy golf course in the garden. See pics.

Lovely pub full of quirky character and brilliant home cooked locally sourced food. Beautiful pint of Guinness and a lovely local beer. Dogs and humans made to feel very welcome although stroking was reserved for canines only! Definitely recommend a visit

Great traditional pub and amazing food!!! The pork hock is amazing, highly recommend to all. Lovely owners and very accommodating.

Wonderful atmosphere and wealth of ephemeral items adorning the walls and ceilings. Welcomed by a lovely Welsh lady behind the bar (I believe to be the owner) and ate a wonderful meal in the Carriage Restaurant - a restored Pullman carriage. Food absolutely out of this world!

Excellent meal in the railway carriage restaurant. Good choice of options on menu. Reasonably priced.

Had dinner in the excellently refurbished First Class railway carriage. It's so well done, like something out of Agatha Christie.

The novelty side is eating in a very well refurbished old train carriage. It is connected seemlessly to the main building and kitchen area. The whole service is provided by a very attentive family group that do everything from order through cooking, serving and checking and clearing away. They are all friendly and take time for everyone. Prices are very fair and servings generous.

This was recommended to us as a great family pub/restaurant and boy did it deliver! Our group of 10 aged between 20 months and sixty(mumble) years were delighted!

On our way to Bath for the weekend, we stopped in at The Old Station Inn for lunch. The pub is cosy and filled with all sosrts of memorabilia collected over the years. We were thrilled to find a railway carriage dining saloon that served as the restaurant. It is in pristine condition and brought back wonderful childhood memories of travelling by train in South Africa. The food was delicious, and the service excellent.

Awesome setting equally matched by awesome food and exceptional service. Thank you. We will be back, this place is a one off not to be missed.

We had a groupon to stay over with glass of wine. Went to this pretty pub and were amazed at how quirky it was inside. Full of memorabilia and interesting signs and objects - a fascinating place. Our room just a few yards over the courtyard was a family rooms, so very spacious and clean. We booked into the restaurant it was lovely sitting in the railway carriage, a great experience. The food was delicious and very well presented. My salmon in a sauce was excellent and their speciality trio of chocolate puds was amazing. We had a very comfortable night and it was excellent value, I would certainly love to return. The waiter was a young lad learning the trade and he was very polite and helpful

Well done TripAdviser! My daughter found The Old Station Inn on a search for where to eat as we planned a trip to Wells and Glastonbury. We booked a table in the Carriage Restaurant and were so glad we did. Our welcome was warm, the service was excellent, friendly and efficient staff.

Driving on our way to Bridgwater and came across this pub by accident. As we had bad traffic on the motorway so we went the country road way wow what can I say about this pub. What a lovely gem to find

This is a lovely inn and restaurant. My mum and I booked in for a night between visiting Bath and Wells - so a perfect location. Our room was comfortable, clean and well stocked with tea, coffee and biscuits. No breakfast service but it was less than a half hour drive to the centre of Wells next morning, so not a problem.

Booked here for dinner and overnight stay, it has a great location near Wells, Glastonbury and Street. The pub is lovely with reasonable prices. The highlight was dining in the train carriage, food was amazing with attentive service. A lovely welcome to this part of the world.

The Inn has an oldie worldie feel to it, inside is a cornucopia of bric a brac to look at - each way you turn you see something new. The dining room is a converted railway carriage - recently renovated. The food was excellent. The landlady was warm and welcoming and the locals love a good chat and were full of ideas of places to visit. Our room was clean, welcoming and comfortable. A separate annex to the side of the inn.

4 of us had lunch, all had different, all arrived at the same time,no long waits, food excellent and very al la carte, but not Al la carte prices, excellent all round. A very interesting and quirky place.

Really enjoyable family meal, 4 years after our last visit. Welcome was great, food well cooked and generous portions, service prompt, kids loved the crazy golf which kept them amused while we could watch them from the railway carriage and enjoy some peace. Buttcombe beer very well kept. Prices reasonable and all round a very pleasant evening.

Great food and friendly staff all in all a 5stars from me. Thank you for a memorable night. We had our meal in the train carriage in there back garden very different we had a great evening. We both totally recommend the Old Station Inn.

Excellent dinning experience for the wife and I,we were celebrating our Anniversary and my birthday. We booked a table in the train coach and I must say we had a great time,the staff were very attentive and the food was first class. We totally recommend The Old Station Inn. 5 stars from D&S; Roberts

Really quirky restaurant. Great food, v good portions. And the pub looks like it sells good ale too. Will def go back.

As usual first class food and service! it has an intimate atmosphere in the carriage and is a very friendly place. Going back for an anniversary dinner next month can't think of anywhere better!

We stayed here as well. Cannot book in until 5 pm, As this is when the Pub opens up. But the bonus is you can leave in the morning at midday.

It was such a refreshing change to eat an excellent meal in a imaginative railway carriage. The welcome from Debbie was warm and friendly. The lunch was excellent and of a much higher quality than a lot of pubs and certainly not overpriced.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch here last week. Lovely lamb and beef for two of us and stunning crispy pork belly for the other two!

Dined here last night and we were very pleasantly surprised. For the price of a standard meal at a chain restaurant you receive not only fantastic food but also an experience. The decor and the music played in the carriage was restful and took you back to a very Agatha Christie style era. We ordered the whitebait to start and I kid you not these were the largest whitebait I have ever seen, very well fried with no greasy taste. These coupled with a restaurant in Exmoor now are my top two, and I order whitebait pretty much anywhere I can get my hands on it. We then ordered the special main of a kilo of pork and the 'pig out' main, both of which were a very generous portion cooked excellently. If only we had saved room for dessert! We stayed overnight and the atmosphere in the pub section the next day was very welcoming, with guests and locals both enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.

Had a lovely welcome from Debbie. Food was amazing highly recommend it all. The stay in the rooms was warm clean. Will definitely be doing this again soon

Service was good in the dining car and the meal was very good, plenty of variety on offer and was very tasty with huge portions. Other diners meals looked equally impressive. The pork belly was outstanding.

I reviewed this as a hotel, where I described the meals, so I will keep this brief. The food was excellent, and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

The food on the train carriage was exceptional and well recommended. However, the stay was less pleasant. The hairdryer had been melted with a hole exposing the inside which was dangerous beyond words and kept cutting out, not helped by the electrics not being legally re-tested in 2017. Cobwebs were visible by the TV, and heavy dust in eyeshot on Back of TV (back of TV is visible when in the room). Thick dust and grime on top of curtains, and damp patches in bathroom. After our meal, we asked for a jug of milk for the room, it was only when it was empty did we see the grime inside the jug. Again, meal is faultless and enjoyable, but avoid staying if you like your comforts. See photos below to back up my review.

Signature dishes are worth a go, the pate as a starter was great, the pork hock fab and the trilogy of mousse desserts lovely.

The restaurant experience is lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful. Top quality food worth every penny. I would definitely book again.

A well deserved “Excellent” to the lovely management of the romantic carriage restaurant here, for such great care taken during our visit with two trainee guide dogs. They were treated like royalty! We were allocated a table for four, where two chairs were removed to allow additional room for our potential life changers. The food quality and waitress service were also very good. Well done!

Down in the area for a few days and this was recommended for an evening meal. The venue is fun, the carriage was beautifully restored and a great place to eat. When the food arrived it was plentiful and delicious yet we still managed several courses. Great selection of beers on offer too.

We booked the restaurant sight unseen, as being equidistant between ourselves and other family. The website looked promising and the venue was excellent for the engineers in the family. Indeed, seating 6 of us in the railway carriage for dinner was an experience. However, the service was rather shambolic, with one young waiter looking after everything. The food was nothing special (how do you make veal tough?) but reasonable quantity. At the end of the evening, we had to wait an extra 20 minutes to pay as the owner was using the 'phone, so credit cards could not be authorised. That is not customer service! We will not return.

We were staying one night at the station Inn. We were driving from Surrey and being a Friday the expected arrival time just got later and later. We were really grateful that the pub allowed us to order the food ahead so it was ready for when we arrived even though the kitchens had shut. We only had cold starters by our choice. These were more than plentiful, definitely delicious and beautifully presented. Served with a fab bottle of wine it was just what we needed. We did hear from the locals in the pub that the rest of the food is good too.

There was 6 of us and we ate in the carriage and the food was lovely but very big portions which is not a bad thing, there were 2 other big tables and we didn't have to wait for our food and the waitress was very attentive.

Halted here for a quick lunch with three friends. Landlady (Debbie) could not have been more welcoming or attentive. We were offered the carriage to eat in, but stayed in the

With it's separate railway carriage dining room, as well as one in the pub proper, this establishment has a lot of original features.

Service dans un wagon restaurant apres un tres pittoresque pub. Service agréable. Bonne cuisine de pub. A recommander.

Birthday lunch with best mate, very quirky place inside with beautiful shady gardens out the back. Can also dine with the train carriage and there is also a crazy golf. They are open from midday to three and again in the evening. Amazing delicious food and good size portions. HIghly recommend this place although part of me wants to keep it secret.

HAD A NIGHT AT the Old station inn at Hallatrow , dinner is in a replica of a royal Scot Carriage . I f you are going to eat my advice is don' eat anything all day . The portions are huge .

We enjoyed our meal in the carriage which was a very lovely experience, good food and very generous portions. The only minus was our waitress was either new or not trained as she wasn’t very good, we had to keep chasing her, and the landlady wasn’t very welcoming

The Old station inn is a pub and restaurant with accommodation. It is near to a road with no pavement in Hallatrow. I had an excellent dinner here. The restaurant is in an old train carriage and the decor and chairs inside look great. For the dinner I had salmon and vegetables for the main. The fish portion size was large and the vegetables were cooked nicely. The food was also well presented. I particularly like the creamy mash that came with it. For the side I had chips that were served with ketchup and mayonnaise. I would highly recommend eating dinner here because the food is excellent and the train carriage is very unusual. There is also a nice pub garden with mini golf and a rabbit hutch.

I had a few hours to kill one afternoon & came across this pub, which was very lucky for me as I haven't come across hospitality like it! I was on my own & they couldn't have been more warm & welcoming, all of the staff, the owners & the locals made me feel right at home! Couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere! Even when it was time for me to leave, one of the locals gave me a free lift back to my B&B;! Cracking place!

Always great service , good food and beer the place is full of memorabilia and well worth exploring. Roast dinner is plentiful and tasty.

Booked in here for the night at a very reasonable rate. The room and pub are very eclectic and the food is excellent.

Always a great selection of Specials - visited yesterday and had the Hosin Duck salad, served with a variety of fresh vegetables, crispy noodles and peanuts - wife had Chicken Fajita salad, which was equally as delicious.

Despite the awful accommodation - see separate review under hotel category - we were very pleasantly surprised to have such a lovely meal in the nice surroundings of the railway carriage. Lots of atmosphere and delicious food. The owners need to copy what they are doing in the carriage and carry it through to the pub and accommodation.

The worst pub ever rude staff and 30 min waiting for a second pint, dry nut roast, soggy chips and particularly rude and violent not child friendly, it was necessary to leave the table of the restaurant to have a pint, surely if you want a Witherspoon I wouldn't had chosen the local if they like that with locals imagine with you...

We had a lovely sunday lunch here with 2 of our friends recently. Our only criticism was that the food should have been hotter when served. It was very tasty but sadly( apart from the roasters) just warm. Having said that all the puddings were delicious and nice and hot.

The train carriage restaurant is an experience not to miss. I went here on my own and felt so comfortable. The locals are lovely and the owners are very welcoming and helpful. I would recommend anyone to come here. The pub itself is full of character with so many things to admire. Even a little touch of trivia cards on the tables and a menu you can take with you :) Did not feel like I had to interact if I didn't want to and was delighted when they said I could take my wine in my room :D Thank you, I hope to return again soon x

Went here on a winter afternoon.

Called it on the way back from Bath, very welcoming but the food is not for us. We both had the Sunday roast but left more than we ate, which is very unusual for my husband who normally eats his food and then finishes mine. Must be us as the pub was very busy and seems very popular but we didn't enjoy it at all. When the landlady cleared our plates she asked if all was ok, when she could see it probably wasn't. I told her the roast potatoes were not cooked and she said she would relay our comments to the kitchen, but too late for us. One to tick off the list, we often pass by and I had wanted to eat there but we won't return.

We called for lunch and were made very welcome by the landlady. Friendly atmosphere and a great menu. The pie of the day was chicken and it was delicious! Served with chips and dressed salad the portion was very generous and extremely tasty. The chips were of good size and perfectly cooked - not like the frazzled fries you so often come across these days. My wife had the red lentil, vegetable and peanut nut roast which was delicious. Unfortunately no room left for one of the delicious puddings!

We have been to this pub to eat on several occasions and always have a warm welcome, Good service and tasty food. Would definitely recommend for couples or groups. Large car park. Be warned it is a bit quirky.

It did'nt really meet our standards or needs.In the past it was a place to go ,supplying good food and comfortable surroundings.Now I think it has an outside attraction for children who jostle around when you are eating

Christmas Day Lunch with my Husband was marvellous. Debbie, the landlady, gave us a lovely welcome. The bar & casual...

We had a fantastic Christmas Day lunch here today. The food was superb. Delicious choices, well cooked, beautifully presented and...

We booked online for a family celebration lunch after hearing good things from friends. It was well worth the hour...

Had a lovely meal at the Old Station Inn, which was just minutes away from our B&B.; Quaint, eclectic décor, friendly service and good variety to choose from on the menu.

Rang to book for a Tuesday evening as the hotel we were in had a large function and we thought to try somewhere different. We were in The Carriage with only one other couple and there seemed to be few others in the bar that evening. Comfortable seating and warm despite a foul night outside.

Visiting my son in Bristol and went for a meal on Saturday evening, unfortunately too late to book the carriage, but loved the quirky surroundings. Staff excellent and the lady in charge was a delight and so friendly it made a good evening special. Excellent choice of food both on the menu and the specials board. Very good portions and we took it slowly and managed three courses as the sweets looked so delicious. Would definitely come back when we are over again and hopefully book early enough so we could get seats in the carriage. Loved the history information and quiz but unfortunately left our copy behind so ust remember next time.
