Lovely place to work for the afternoon and treat yourself for lunch. Or perfect for a catch up with a friend over afternoon tea. Food is great quality and value for money. Staff are really polite and service is quick. Only issue is parking - beware you may need to park off the station and walk; better still get the train!

Went for breakfast. I'm not usually a fan of a fry up but this was superb, with good quality ingredients. The large breakfast had two of everything and the small has one of everything. We booked a booth also to stay in theme of the railway station. Lovely place and definitely one to take guests. Menu not huge which I prefer as I get overfaced with too many options.

Well worth a visit. A beautiful station turned into a fabulous cafe/bar. Victorian style at its best, so well thought out and decorated. A cafe with style and atmosphere. Great food, staff and decor. We got a train from Urmston to Irlam just 6 mins. Then we had a lovely lunch and drinks at this great cafe.

Had a lovely meal in here. I was very impressed with the whole restaurant. It has loads of history all around the place. You can sit at a table or in a carriage. We sat inside a carriage. All the staff were very helpful. The other customers were fun too. We had a cheese and bacon omelette for 8.95 and a tuna and mayo sandwich 5.85 also some drinks it came just under 20. We booked a table. I would recommend booking a table. This restaurant has everything, great food and great train history. A definite place to check out
