The Station Cafe Bar in Richmondshire

Another great visit to the Station Cinema. Book tickets online with ease. Good seats selected. Screen 3 , small but perfect surroundings and quality viewing experience. Will definitely return. Thanks again

Very good venue good food a few shops swimming pool and 3 cinema screens good parking to good afternoon at the least

Great new Art exhibitions in lower and upper galleries. These exhibitions change regularly so check online for latest themes

Excellent food and excellent service.

First visit visit very nice lunch

Love going to chillout and relax. Staff are always smiling and friendly. My husband calls it his ⛪️. Food is always tasty and especially on The Jazz Nights.

Interesting cafe using the converted station. Interesting, not least because waitress service! Staff pleasant and available. Selection on the lunch menu very good. From sandwiches through light bites, to full meals. All freshly made. Coffee good. Worth future visits.

Took a while to get seated but once we were the food arrived quickly and was delicious. Fish fingers on flatbreads were especially yummy.

On a walk..stopped off for a pork and apple pie from the baker.. followed by a delicious chocolate ice-cream... Sat on the benches outside.. lovely!

Brilliantly repurposed railway station. A gallery showcasing local artists, secondhand book sale, gift shop, lovely eatery and an on site cinema showing a really varied selection of films. Well worth a visit

Great cafe in the old station, lovely ambience, nice coffee and sandwich. Dog seating area a little small as had to wait for a table, lots of dog free tables available in the main seating area. There's also a cinema, gift shop and gallery.

Lovely trip with our granddaughter to the cinema. Really helpful pleasant staff in the box office

Went to look at art exhibitions and was very imressed. Bought lunch from lovely deli ( restaurant was very busy) followed by first class ice cream. Didn't risk going in the sweet shop.

Nice and clean 👌 Interesting place not what I expected 👍 Cinema and café ice cream shop Gifts art gallery ✨️

A lovely Lunch with friends my first visit , wonderful staff so friendly and welcoming , food was delicious, will definitely be back xx

We checked online and breakfast was listed as being served up until 11:30am so we arrived at 11:30am with a view to having lunch, only to be told the lunch menu did not start until 12:00 noon, however they serve breakfast until 11:45am. We were already seated, so rather than go away and return when the lunch menu came on, we ordered from the breakfast menu. The food was lovely....very tasty sausages with the full breakfast - could have done with 2 each. The only negative thing I can say is that the times on the web were misleading and perhaps an update would save future confusion.

Lovely place offering many things. Lots of nice bespoke retailers, there's a cinema,coffee/food outlet, ice cream, brewery, handmade jewellery, baker/cake shop..All worth a visit.

Stopped off at the station on our way to the Richmond Falls, Easby Abbey, and Easby Hall what a fantastic transformation and space, cafes, cinema 🎥, micro Brewery, art, sweets shop and fitness suites. Did our walk, then on the way back, stopped off for a well-deserved cuppa and fresh scones. All together, a fantastic day out.

I had an excellent experience at here. The food was absolutely beautiful, both in presentation and taste and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend!

One of the best places to visit for a nice relaxed coffee.The staff are pleasant and professional and attentive to any dietary requirements.They offer a good menu and the scones are fresh and tasty.

a mixed experience but overall disappointed. food was lovely as were some younger members of staff but despite having googled extensively before visiting, the main cafe at the station is not at all dog friendly. you may sit outside with dogs but signs make it very clear no dogs will be tolerated inside at all. had i known, i would not have visited as i have 2 exceptionally well behaved labs, but it was a sunny day so sitting outside was not a problem. but a kindly and well meaning volunteer intercepted me as i began to walk around the building and insisted it was fine to walk through the cafe to the outside seating area. i protested but the cafe was spacious and quiet and yorkshire generally had seemed very accepting of dogs. fast forward and i found myself in a confusing confrontation with cafe management who seemed surprisingly bitter and rude. i exited quickly as asked and ate outside but the rudeness of the confrontation which had arisen from an enthusiastic if misinformed volunteer was surprising. will not return. suggest leadership speak to cafe management and volunteers

Taken my grandson and wife here before watching a children's film. He had a pizza which was fine and we had fish and chips. My fish was pink inside, and the chips were very hard like they were only partially cooked. My wife's mushy peas were cold. Although the replacement fish was cooked, the chips again were inedible. It's not as if it was busy as the table service had just started. I am not sure if the cafe has changed ownership as we were in there a few years ago, and it was fine. The only saving grace was that we were not charged for both servings of fish and chips after speaking to the manager. Don't think that we will be eating there again Not recommended.

A great place to go for a coffee food is very good. Yes it’s dog friendly but please, please can you provide more than 3 two seater coffee tables inside for dog owners . There are outside tables but as there is plenty of room inside you could do more.

Pot of tea for 4, 2 large Teapots, tea did not brew, like water!! Teapots only had 1 tea bag in each it was worst tea, Food Fish Chips, x2 x2 Sandwiches were very good with extra fat chips! Service bit slow even when standing block up!

Most possibly the worst Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long time.

Lovely friendly service with good coffee and cakes. Nice dog friendly seating area.

Great place to meet and get refreshments. Table service works well and staff are friendly and efficient. Good outdoor space. Choice of cinemas, excellent artesan brewery, bakery , fudge, Ice cream etc. Improved further since management of restaurant and cinema taken in house. Brewery unit taken over by Yorkshire Dales Brewery.

Only used the toilets but they were spotless

Beautiful place, miserable cafe staff.

My meal. Stuffed aubergine with couscous was terrible. I had to force the veg down, the couscous was soggy and inedible. Sadly it was also smothered in balsamic drizzle. A pet hate of mine. The two children’s meals and my husbands pulled pork were delicious. Such a disappointment for me though. Will stick to sandwiches when I visit again!!

Lovely place. We were a large group and would have all ordered food and drink but for the lack of access to the cafe for the member of our group using a wheelchair.

A very charming place. The cod chowder was spot on.

Lovely to see the station being used by local businesses. My partner and I ate in the cafe (or bistro?). It took a while to be seated, as the queue was a little lengthy when we arrived. It seemed like staff had specific roles so there were only really two staff clearing tables, taking orders and seating people (while others made coffees, etc.). One of these looked visibly stressed. Once we were seated, it took a little time to have our order taken (as the staff need to be able to see the little box that you stand up to signal you want to be served). Personally, I think the menu is a little ambitious, when compared with the quality of the food. We both just had sandwiches, which were basic (a sandwich, a bunch of crisps and heavily sweet corned side salad don't really warrant a price tag of £9-10 imo). It came to £28 for two sandwiches and two soft drinks. I realise the prices probably reflect similar costs across Richmond but I don't think I'd pay that again. It also seems a shame that the bread used is pretty big standard, when there's a local bakery in the same building. That said, the staff were pleasant when serving us and it's in a great location.

Booked our Wedding reception here and cannot fault anything. Staff were amazing, food out of this world and our friends from all over the country said was best food experience they had ever had. Well done for the attention to detail and the way all food was served within minutes even though had normal customers to serve. Highly recommend the Station Cafe for a different Wedding Reception in a beautiful setting. Thankyou for everything and to everyone 🥰🥰🥰

Love the cinema, bakery, shopping and we go regularly. The food is also usually very nice, and was on our latest occasion. We all opted for various sandwiches which were served with a salad and chips (with soup optional). However, I have noticed on more than one occasion that some of the staff have real attitude problems. For example, turning up their noses if you haven’t pre-booked and being pedantic about where to form a queue when it is difficult for disabled or elderly people to form one in such a way as they would like. Looking at the other comments, it seems we are not the only ones to experience this. It’s a shame, as it ruins an otherwise nice experience.

Coffee with the ladies after our pilates class. A lovely setting in the old railway station, the staff are cheerful and helpful, the coffee is delicious. Lots of independent shops within the building and a lovely 3 screen cinema.

We have been coming here for years. It is a fantastic facility. The staff are always friendly and professional. It is often very busy but you won't find a harder working group of people. We can't praise them too highly. Thank you all very much.

A beautiful vintage-restored place, Includes a cinema, a large café, an open art gallery, independent art and gift shops, a very good (and expensive) bakery and a chocolate shop. There is a book corner and a few comfy chairs righr nextcto it and the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. Also, there are public toilets, a lot of parking and a famous ice cream shop. It's within a short walking distance to the town centre, so it's a good parking option (£3 for 4 hours!) on a visit to Richmond. You can take a walking trail some of them start here), enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river Swale, climb up to the town centre (300 meters away), have lunch and then climb down to the carpark, buy a beautiful piece of arr/craft made by a local artist (very reasonable prices) and return home. A perfect day!

Quiet when we arrived at about 3.40pm. We were shown to our table. We just wanted tea, coffee and scone and tray bake. All very nice. Lovely historic location. Nice gallery of artwork. Cinema in same building. Swimming pool adjacent and lovely walks. Maximum stay in car park is 4 hours, recent price increase. Internal photo and some of Easby Abbey which is a walk away.

Whilst I agree with preserving local buildings for future generations. I don't agree with over charging. We had a couple of bits of cake and drinks and it came to almost £30. Basically the same price as other local businesses that aren't charities, so not sure why the prices in the bar / restaurant ast so high. It's completely excluding people and simply catering for a lot of holiday home owners who visit the area. Whilst the service was excellent and the cakes were nice. I think the pricing really needs to be addressed, there is not even discount for permanent local residents.

Really disappointed with the unprofessional behaviour of the staff. Having travelled extensively and teach personal development, I’ve never come across a cafe with such miserable staff who speak to me as though I’m a stranger each time I come in. It’s deeply unpleasant. It’s a shame as the Station is a beautiful place to visit and dine at. If the staff are that unhappy, they should leave and not make it an unpleasant experience for those who are visiting. One manager particular today was incredibly rude to me. She left me waiting and forgot to serve me a week ago with every other member of staff passing me by without even so much as a hello. I decided to leave in the end. I never received an apology the next time I visited (today), instead she was incredibly rude to me. As a woman in my 50’s, I won’t tolerate this disrespect and won’t be visiting again. The place is beautiful, the staff in the restaurant are mostly unpleasant. Not one smile ever..apart from this particular manager very childishly jumping up and down at the counter in delight as she shared with the other member of staff about my upset.. Spiteful woman. Time for change.

First time eating at the station bistro and would definitely return and highly recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed. Shelly served us tonight and was lovely, friendly helpful and professional. Real chunky chips were amazing!! We had pizza a side, glass of wine & coffees. I look forward to returning soon.

Great way to revitalize and reuse historic buildings.

Venue good, film (Napoleon) rubbish

Lovely place for a coffee, tea or snack as well as a full me. My wife and I had lunch there. We had two different meals and both were very good. The staff were all friendly and very efficient. Will eat there again.

Visited for lunch with a friend. Service was quick and all staff were friendly. We both ordered a sandwich and swapped out the harissa potatoes for chips. The sandwich was very disappointing - cheap sliced bread from a normal loaf. You have an artisan bakery next door! The bread really let the meal down.

Had a couple of days away in Richmond for hubbies birthday. We had scones & hot chocolate. We drink a lot of hot chocolate & this was definitely the best so far!

Called in for an afternoon snack while staying in Richmond for a few days. Ordered some hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and a couple of scones. Great scones and delicious hot chocolate. We drink a lot of hot chocolate and this was certainly one of the best, if not THE best! Lovely atmosphere, good value and we will return next time we are in the area.

The station has a big restaurant and the food is excellent. 2 main cinemas and a shop selling gifts. A second hand book stall for charity.

Really great cafe bar with a variety of food for vegetarians too so yummy and reasonably priced. Cinema is very good.

What a lovely place! I am filled with admiration for the preservation trust and what they have done here....a great example for other towns and villages. Cafe, gallery, good l gift shop, cinema..... parking at £2.50 for 4 hours means that you can fit this in with a visit to the town centre.

Very happy with this cafe. It's a casual environment in the daytime. We were seen quickly and offered a table. Service was prompt but not intrusive. The toastie/flatbread offerings on menu were good and some veggie choices. Chips were very hot. My only niggle was that the brown bread that the Mediterranean veg and halloumi hot sandwich came on was nothing special and let the meal down. just a cheap soggy brown slice. A bit of quality bread would have made it perfect.

Last night we took advantage of the £5 a pizza offer which was to celebrate 5 years of the current team behind the Restaurant. We order three different flavoured Pizza's to share. All three were stunning, great flavours, well cooked. I just wish it was £5 everyday

I wasn’t impressed. My bruschetta arrived with a lot of tomatoes piled on one small thin round of bread. As well as being totally insufficient as a base for the bruschetta, it was quite burnt on the underside which wasn’t apparent until I took a biteful. No nice usher garlic and olive oil. I had to ask for another unburnt piece of bread. My tomato soup was fine though. But the bruschetta lacked oil, bread and garlic means a three star review.

There are so many good food options here. A very nice cafe, a bakery, and an ice cream shop! The cafe is open for lunch and dinner (not sure about breakfast). Their food is very good and they have great service. There are free public toilets inside that are very well maintained. The ice cream shop and bakery also make very high quality desserts! Oh and it’s also a cinema!

What a fab place! We visited for a few days and had coffee and breakfast there a couple of times. Enjoyed a circular walk from there to Easby. Some interesting art and jewellery on display and for sale, lovely ice cream shop. Cinema too. Bacon and sausage sandwich was amazing! 🙂

Had fish and chips here absolutely fantastic homemade chips fish was white and very tasty couldn’t fault it at all the wife had Moussaka gluten free she was also very impressed the place itself is very atmospheric love this place

What a beautiful place! Stopped twice at the café over the bank holiday weekend and we're bowled over, so much so that we stopped on our way home for lunch. Delicious coffee and scone one day and pizza and sweet potato fries the next time. It's a great building with a cinema, little shops and a gallery. Well worth a visit. Little tip: if you have time, visit the beautiful waterfall nearby. You will be glad you did. X

Great multi-use space - cafe/restaurant, cinema, gallery, bakery, brewery, craft area, dance studio and more. The food at the cafe is excellent and the cinema so much more enjoyable than a huge multiplex. Walkable from the town centre, and there's also a bus stop right outside. Good amount of parking (not free but negligible cost).

Great place to visit, plenty to see and nice cafe.

Only stayed for drinks but staff friendly ans tea good.

Took my mum & sister here at weekend , from the minute we arrived we were acknowledged & given a table . All the staff we’re really lovely & informative as to how we needed to order . We had pizza , fries , cake & wine , was really delicious . Would definitely recommend & will be making a stop off next time I’m in Richmond .

Excellent service from a pleasant and polite server. Breakfasts were hot and filling, coffee is best around. Always a relaxing ambience in the building.

A lovely, airy and friendly place to eat and relax. I love the fact they have reused a station building. Would definitely recommend. X

Jane Ellis drawings there today were brilliant on mezzanine gallery (Artist from Reeth). Check out her work! We show there next year as The Art Crowd, Northallerton! Excited. Wonderful bakery, Goosewings jewellery is a lovely side studio, ice cream parlour, brewery, and lovely cinema! Not forgetting cafe and also gallery shop! There is a beautiful woodland walk too. A bit soggy today though

Great cosy little cinema at a beautiful location. We enjoyed a meal and a beer front the local brewery here after the movie, which was excellent as well. Friendly staff!

Jazz Night, 21st July. This special event was a 3 course meal accompanied by a 3 piece jazz ensemble with a female singer. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, interesting and filling. The easy listening jazz music made a wonderful ambiance and the singer complimented this beautifully. The table layout and unusual location in an old railway station with a high ceiling had a pleasant feeling of open space. The courses arrived at perfect intervals over the evening and every member of staff was efficient and friendly. We had a great night and will be looking out for similar events at The Station in future.

Great location,very good food and a lovely cinema also. A wonderful credit to the trust and the team of staff who work hard to make it an enjoyable experience 10 out 10, thank you.

Lovely food, friendly staff and lots to do.

As always very nice. Good service from the young staff. Always go there if we are in Richmond. Thank you.

Quirky and definitely a great place to visit. Cafes, bakery, micro brewery, gallery, shop, ice cream parlour and three screen cinema all housed in the converted Richmond Station, which closed to railway traffic in 1969. Swimming pool next door and walking along the disused railway track, as well as down to the river. Toilet facilities and pay and display parking available. Something for everyone!

Having been previously disappointed here we thought we’d give it another chance! The service was good, swift efficient and friendly. Food also much better than last time. The pizza was excellent and large too - good value. The burger was succulent and juicy and definitely a home made patty. On the strength of this visit we’d definitely return

Ive tried three times to give this place the benefit of the doubt , at lunch , at tea and dinner , each time ive been dissapointed by staff attitudes and behaviour towards customers . Lack of friendliness , its almost like they are doing us a favour by being there .

Popped into the cafe for lunch, both food and service were excellent!!

Been here a few times. Really impressed with the food today. Lovely building and interesting river walks nearby.

Lovely cafe and bakery, there's also a cinema

Always a lovely visit to the station in Richmond, lovely ice cream parlor towards the rear of the building. Have visited the cinema here also and the cafe, which serves nice food from cakes to hot meals

Excellent venue, been many times, but 50 minutes wait for a poached egg on toast.... not to the usual standard

Great Museum, lovely cafe, lively place well worth a visit

WE both agreed that the meal we had today was the best we've had in the 20 yrs plus of being friends. The simple dish of haddock fishcakes, new potatoes and samphire was 10 out of 1o

Cinema, micro brewery, cafe, bakery, showing local art to see while you browse.

Excellent venue very clean and warming, best fish & chips I've had in a long time.

Lovely meal absolutely delicious. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great experience.

Lovely cafe in the old railway station. Also cinema, cake/pie shop and brewery!

Lovely food and music. Service was great. What a lovely venue. Will defo come to another music evening again.

Nice space, and friendly staff. Like that dogs are welcome in the building

Lovely setting. Excellent service. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

Lovely building with lots of shops and a cinema inside. Swimming pool next door.

Our 'Go to' place whenever we visit Richmond. Easy parking, great staff and good snacks and drinks. The art gallery upstairs has changing exhibitions and is always worth a visit.

Ate here one evening and had an excellent pizza and salad followed by a cheesecake to die for! An excellent little shop also in the complex.

The café is very open and light which gives a pleasant experience. Wholemeal tea cakes were nice. The café only uses whole milk so perhaps think abut ofering skimmed and other alternatives. Some of the younger staff need to listen to their customers instead of...

This is now repurposed as a cinema, brewery and bars, cafes, art gallery and more in a location next to the river.

Lovely place to eat, staff friendly and helpful. Food always top notch, normally go for breakfast but went for lunch today. The fish and chips was delicious 😋.

Very nice food. Service was excellent

Couple days away. Cannot fault the venue, the vibe, ambiance, throughout the building, staff were delightful, concept and facilities top class. Food wonderful. Bar staff x 1 in pub bit (young lass on her own) friendly, informative and sweet. Toilets warm and clean.

Pleasant converted railway station. Now a community hub, with 3-screen cinema, artisan bakery, and microbrewery with 2 or 3 more specialist shops. There is also a restaurant and coffee shop with an art gallery with changing exhibitions above the restaurant.

We have eaten at the station many times and really love the friendly staff, cleanliness and really good quality food . They are always busy and it’s better if you can book as we have on occasions had to queue but I suppose that reflects...

this is our second visit to this beautiful building after being recommended by friends and once again a lovely lunch served by lovely friendly staff

Excellent place to have coffee and food,either before your walk or after. Light and airy place with great service.

We arranged to meet friends here for lunch and this was our first.. and last.. visit. It’s a really beautiful and historic venue, large cafe area and plenty of seating. Unfortunately food is poor quality, overpriced and served by a very rude waitress who was...
