About The Whistlestop Cafe

Tucked into the old station waiting room next to the cinema, this is a proper British café with a bit of polish — all-day breakfasts people rave about, bacon sandwiches served with salad, chicken goujons, and a roast pork Sunday lunch that arrives with crackling, parsnip purée and a jug of extra gravy on the side. Parking sits close by, there's outdoor seating for summer, high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options, and buggy access. Two honest warnings: it's small, and it fills fast — regulars book their usual tables, so ring ahead if you can, and at busy weekend lunchtimes food has taken up to 40 minutes. The staff are warm and quick with families, and prices are fair for the size of the plates. One parent simply says the breakfast was "to die for".
