The Station Cafe & Bar in Denbighshire

We only had half-an-hour between trains but we were quickly served in this traditional GWR style cafe. It has outside seating as well and the ham and cheese rolls were a walk back in time to my childhood at Ilfracombe station cafe. Friendly staff, good prices and refreshing tea with all the trimmings. No food allowed in the First Class areas.

cheap lunch while waiting for the train. so whilst basic. its good food, a friendly place and relatively cheap. The place is a great place to soak in the atmosphere of this heritage railway.

We called for tea for two whilst waiting for the train. When I was passed two cups with teabags in, I stood and waited. "Spoons over there", I was told. No milk, no hot water, no saucers, and £3:50. Not good

I am disabled person and had great time here, table service in the station buffet and staff and volunteers just new the right kind of personal boundaries when in conversation. I must say the stations staff and volunteers were all brilliant five stars and more, would fully recommend. Kindest of regards Mark-Edwyn.

The staff here were very friendly and welcoming. The place is a great place to soak in the atmosphere of this heritage railway. They have tables and chairs out on the platform.

Alongside the track and station is located a converted carriage which is now a small cafe. Fun to eat here and watch life chug by. Friendly staff. Toilet facilities are located in the station.

I struggle to walk and arrived in Llangollen needing lunch with children. After trying several places and being rudely spoken to across the road for not knowing exactly what they were doing I was about to give up. My husband found the tea room. The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was delicious and fresh. It was a thoroughly enjoyable lunch in the end.

Very welcome stop after the long walk from chirk great small breakfast and brews for £5 each that’s great value in anyone’s book would recommend the walk and cafe

We went here before boarding the mince pie special. Friendly staff and great drinks. Small but great atmosphere

We arrived early for a “Mince Pie Special” on Boxing Day, we were able to grab a quick tea and hot chocolates before the train arrived. The service was quick and friendly, I suspect that they may struggle a bit when it got much busier just before the train arrived. There is seating outside on the platform with a good view of the train arriving.

Excellent value for money and excellent quality and quantity. The service was good. We will go back again.

All very good food and drink. Pleasant and cosy especially on a cool or cold day. Waiting on the platform a bit cool so a perfect place to sit.

Stopped for tea and a scone before getting the steam train. Staff were really friendly and scone, cream and jam was very good.

Outside tables peeling varnish. Weeds everywhere. Bins overflowing. Surly staff. Order wrong -three toasties two wrong. No apology. Avoid.

Called in on our weekend away. Had a pasty and a slice of bara brith. Was a nice cafe. Had a coffee and a cheeky beer whilst in there.

Afternoon food was desired after arriving in Llangollen via the canal. We were recommended to try the Station Cafe and Bar for a late lunch. The setting is great, at the Llangollen railway station and it was open till 5pm - perfect, unless you wanted anything hot, which they stop at 3pm - whats going on here ?. Very disappointed we headed into the village and found a great cafe on the river where we could get something that was not cold. While I cannot recommend the Station Cafe, if you visit at other time you may have a different experience.

Had a walk around Llangollen to see the steam train alongside the River Dee. Stopped at station cafe for a bite to eat. Was decent grup, cheap as chips (excuse the pun) - I had a chip butty for £2

Stopped here for breakfast on a Monday morning....great full English and coffee...very reasonably priced and friendly staff. Lucky enough to be outside to see the steam train leaving. Highly recommend.

Very pleasant cafe with interesting décor, nice place to enjoy the atmosphere of the historic station. I recommend a trip on the train.

Fantastic menu staff so helpful great local knowledge of history, on eating in comfortable warm cafe pleased on our bill will definitely return

Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices and the decor is clean and smart. Highly recommended cafe when used either before or after the train journey.

Popped in for a coffee and bap before the ticket office opened. 2 girls who served us were very friendly and made a fuss of the hound. Coffee and bacon/sausage baps were tasty. Reasonably priced too.

A geat little café next to the railway great to watch the steam train come in and out the staff are great and the place is clean

We only had time for a quick drink before our train ride. The good thing about this café that I would like to point out though, is that by the time we got our train tickets the dining car was full so we were unable to 'dine on the line', however food and drinks purchased in the café can be eaten on the train so that is a good compromise.

As the name implies, this cafe is good to visit befor or after taking a ride on the trains. Nice tea and nice food. Friendly staff.

A really good cup of tea, lovely cakes or biscuits depending on what you want. If we are too early for a train we go and refresh ourselves with a drink.

No need to get a platform ticket to enjoy a cup of tea on the platform watching the trains. A real step into the past!

Good freshly prepared food at resonable prices. Ideal before or after catching the steam train. They should do steamed pies and pudding though:)

Situated just to the side of the canal and accessed by a couple of steep steps, the views over the town are spectacular. Food & drink are good, ice creams really tasty and the service is friendly.

A lovely cafe doing brews and welsh cakes, bara brith and pannini's and cooked breakfasts. Very good value with friendly staff.

We had tea and scones on a bitterly cold day. Shame that the beautiful fireplace did not have the fire lit. The staff were friendly and the tea and scones were very welcome (though warming the scones would have been a nice touch. The station its self is FABULOUS and we highly recommend riding the steam train.

Quick stop for a coffee and juice after a delightful visit to Lapland to see Santa. A delightfully well looked after station allowing you to step back in time and experience the romance of the years of steam...progress can be a cruel thing...a trip here...

Un lugar muy ameno en la propia estacion del viejo ferrocarril, nos deleitamos con un cafe y un capuchino, con...

Visited during the Winter Warmer event. Had a bacon baps with chips and coffee which was faultless. Piping hot and freshly made along with the decent coffee it provided a great snack

Lovely little quaint tea room in an old fashioned railway carriage. Staff are always really friendly and helpful. Offering a wide choice of food, snacks and drinks at really good prices. Basic facilities but that's how it's meant to be! You can also sit outside...

The Station Cafe & Bar :- Llangollen railway station in the town of Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales, is a preserved railway station on the former Ruabon to Barmouth Line, and now the eastern terminus of the preserved Llangollen Railway. The children will love sitting and eating...

Had lunch in the tea room staff very friendly and helpful meal nicely presented nothing was to much trouble for the young staff

Acabo de llegar en Llangollen cuando se puso a llover así que corría al bar de la estación, muy concurrido, pero servido con nuestras bebidas rápidamente. por un personal agradable. La comida estaba bien. El lugar está limpio. también hay un vagón de tren para disfrutar de una comida.

Había té y pasteles en este carro muy agradable T. Una decoración muy pintoresca y cómoda. El personal es encantador. Lo recomiendo.

Fue un día muy frío y mientras espera el tren tomamos té en el café sólo por la experiencia, ya que habíamos reservado en el té de la tarde completo tren de vapor. Personal amable y buena relación calidad-precio, pero un entorno un poco básico. El té de la tarde en el tren de Llangollen de Corwen era absolutamente fabulosa. Un paso atrás en el tiempo. Buena relación calidad-precio y estupendo para mi cumpleaños. Un toque encantador que el personal ponga un rótulo con asiento reservado Ruth, s cumpleaños!

El personal es muy amable. Buenos precios. La comida es muy buena. Sin duda recomendaría una visita 😊 no probar los pasteles, pero parecían deliciosos.

Service was excellent and the prices were much lower than I expected, these places are usually higher priced well worth visiting

Lovely little tea room in a railway carriage.Good choice of snacks and drinks and an usual place to stop for refreshments.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks cakes and snacks. A nice addition to the railway journey experience

The dining area is a step back in time, little bit cramped, which made it awkward with a baby buggy. More of a sandwich bar than a cafe as such, food choice was a bit limited. Handy place for a cuppa while waiting for your train ride

Lovely friendly café,very cosy,good choice of meals and snacks,seems very popular with all ages,any time we have been it has always been busy.

A lovely authentic station with a fabulous cafe.Food is great and the prices are cheap and very reasonable.Fabuolus!!

staff very friendly and welcoming..was worth the visit to sit without crowds and enjoy a very reasonable afternoon tea

Just returned from The Carriage Tearoom on Llangollen Station. What a refreshing change from the ordinary tearooms. We decided to sit outside as it was such a lovely day and the waitress promptly took our order of scones, jam and clotted cream with coffee and a hot chocolate. The scones were lovely and the service excellent. Inside the train it was equally as nice and we will definitely be going back to enjoy some nostalgia on the train

Having had a meal in the town earlier we decided to come here for afternoon tea as the railways of yesteryear hold a lot of memories for us having met one another whilst we were both employed by the then British Railways and today we were celebrating our forty ninth anniversary . Very quiet here in fact only us two so we ordered our food and sat in front of the old fire place, not long before the young serving lady came with our tea's, we asked if she would take a photo of us which she did with my phone and it came out as a really good snap, so thank you miss.The station itself is quite unique as it is steeped in history which the staff and volunteers are all to eager to tell you about.Would recommend this small cafe to everyone if they want some good food in old world surroundings, nice staff and obliging manager.

An excellent little coffee shop and snack bar on the Llangollen Railway. It's well worth a visit and the staff are very friendly.

We had some hot drinks and cake while we were waiting for the train. Lots of seats both inside and out.Staff were efficent and prices were what you expect at a standard tourist attraction cafe.

We wanted to get something for lunch and went to the station to get some nice sandwiches + a drink. Well, this has been a quite disappointing experience, because we had to wait quite long for our sandwiches. Also, I ordered a cheese and pickle sandwich, but there weren't any pickles on my sandwich. I did find a human hair in my sandwich. So disgusting! I definitely won't come back.

A good range of meals and snacks in a railway station environment of yesteryear at good prices with friendly staff

Not the quaint old station tea room you would expect on a heritage railway platform and not very nice food either.Mine and my Dad's egg mayonnaise sandwiches tasted of absolutely nothing except very strange, sweet mayonnaise and the chopped egg had a weird slippery slimy texture. Not nice to eat at all. The cheese in my Husband and Mum's sandwiches was also tasteless. We have had far superior food in a supermarket cafe.Coffee and tea were no more than OK.The cafe in the railway carriage, situated just before you enter the station itself, was much, much better.

We pop in here for a drink to support the railway whenever we visit. Service inside is good and friendly and we enjoy our hot chocolate

The carriage tea room looked so lovely and welcoming and a sign states that you should take a seat and someone will come to take your order. The weather was warm and we chose to sit outside. The only other customers outside were a familly of three and the waitress was just delivering their order and saw us sitting down (she walked right past us as we read the menu) After 15 minutes and having seen another family arrive and sit inside with their order immediately taken, I wandered inside and asked if I could order. The waitress said she would send someone out. 10 minutes later we decided to leave because it was clear that no one was coming. The staff saw us walking away and there was no apology etc. Such a shame they could not cope on a really quiet day where only 3 tables were occupied...2 with their orders delivered and 1 totally ignored. Really disappointed and will not return.

I use this restaurant all of the time as I am a volunteer on the railway... cannot fault. Tom and the girls are always a pleasure to be served by, always served with a smile. Food and drink are reasonably priced and the food is always delicious. Great cafe for everyone, lovely place just to go and relax too.

Stopped here for a drink and a quick snack befor travelling on the train, not bad, there is plenty of seating inside and out ,out side and under cover if you have the dog with you which we did .Very friendly staff . Not overpriced.we have been befor and will use again

Good old fashioned cup of tea and cake, at an old fashioned price!! Lovely historic atmosphere .....

Good menu of hot and cold foods, and not too pricey. Great selection of local beers and cold drinks to take on the train! Also a great place to sit and watch the steam trains coming and going.

Dropped in at the end of a walk. Just caught the tea room before closing time - staff were superb and allowed us to grab a quick order for 6 even though they were closing! Very accommodating. Fab lattes and yummy cakes - the hedgehog slice was amazing. Been here a few times now and it's always a lovely spot with great views of Llangollen, steam trains and the canal - lovely spot with great staff.

We just had coffee and cake here while we waited for our trip on the steam train, but the menu looked reasonably priced and the food coming out to other tables looked good, with hot and generous portions. The staff were friendly, the coffee was fine and the cake was really nice. The trip on the train was very enjoyable too.

THe atmosphere of the old station buildings really makes your childhood memories of the steam age, make you feel like becoming a loco number spotter again. (No I'm not an anorack but I do love steam Great cream teas as well.

We stopped off for a coffee at the station cafe, and sat on the platform of the train station itself enjoying a great tasting latte and a slice of bara brith.It's like stepping back in time as we sat back and looked at the station, time just seemed to stand still, it has a good veiw of the river too.We booked a trip on the steam train, taking in some great views of the surrounding countryside and stopping off at carrog to have a walk and stretch our legs, then wait for the return journey to Llangollen.

A step back in time. Kids love it. A bit pricey but the station is privately run.! If you are on the train you have to visit the station cafe.!

Where can you get a bite early morning in LLangollen?On the station of course.We visited this café some years ago when it was run by the stations crew,but now it is under franchise.The food is good and moderately priced.Service is good and the staff cheerful.The place is buzzing first thing in the morning,and on through the day.You can get a freshly brewed cup of tea ,but the coffee sadly comes out of one of those confounded machines.Shame

Lovely food. Excellent service. Food is reasonably priced and good quality. The cafe is quaint and well worth a visit.

A great café and bar in the station at Llangollen. Excellent food and would much recommend to anyone visiting the town. Easy to find, just look for the steam trains!

We visited on Thursday June 12th. We boarded the 1 o'clock train and had a lovely scenic journey down to Carrog station.We returned to The Station Café and Bar at around 2.45pm where we stopped for a late lunch [Ham,egg&chips for my partner and a ham&cheese Panini with salad for myself] both were delicious and fresh. After catching a glimpse of the homemade scones we simply HAD to try the traditional Welsh cream tea! The scones were like none we had ever tasted and certainly nothing like mass produced ones at supermarkets! We were waited on by a very pleasant chatty lady who could not do enough for us. The whole day was one my husband and I will remember for many years to come...We will be returning later in the summer!
