About Platform Restaurant
Set inside restored railway carriages, this is a properly special place to bring children — the decor alone gives little ones plenty to point at, and one family found there was no trouble fitting a pram beside the table in the carriage. Sunday lunch is the thing to book: roast beef with generous veg and a rich pan jus, whipped goats curd and cured trout starters that feel far grander than the price suggests, and desserts like poached pear with cherry sorbet. Gluten-free diners are genuinely looked after, Yorkshire pudding included. Staff are warm and unusually patient with small guests. Two honest notes: it's a booking-only sort of place, and food can be slow to arrive when they're stretched — so bring something to occupy hungry children. Free parking, high chairs, and the beach is a short walk away.
