Gastro Pub
Leonard Wilfred Davies, born 19 December 1906, started a butcher's dynasty now four generations old. His butchers typical cheeky sense of humour now lives on through his grandchildren along with his knowledge of butchery.

In 1997 Leonard’s grandson Richard opened The Station Inn, which quickly generated a great reputation for quality steak. With Richard’s son, Ben’s passion and expertise as Head Chef and Butcher, The Station’s dining experience is a true reflection of the families deep passion for serving amazing steak.

20 years on from opening The Station a major upgrade has taken place, which at its core aims to celebrate the families heritage and knowledge of meat. In order to identify your exact preferences the chefs help you choose the best cut of beef to cook for dinner. It makes for an unforgettable ‘butchery and dining’ experience.

    Brought my elderly dad and his dog after a trip out. Our host greeted us so warmly and sat us in the lovely bar area near the door (dad has mobility issues) they could not have looked after us better, even a fuss made of our dog & a fresh bowl of water. Very fresh and tasty, locally sourced food and lots of it. Maybe another veggie option, but not a huge issue as already 3 options. Had a lovely and relaxing time...Will be back

    We went for the Butchers menu night. The food was outstanding- cooked to absolute perfection. Great to be able to choose the exact cut/weight of meat. The Tomahawk and fillet steaks were cooked to absolute perfection.

    Birthday lunch treat from my wife. Both had steaks, cooked perfectly, super ingredients and best meals we've had this year. Feel a bit reluctant to say how good it was, as will be returning again! What more can I say, apart from very friendly staff!!!!!

    We have such a wonderful time at the station inn. We were staying in Ironbrigde and had been for a walk close by and needed something warm as it was a cold day. We booked our table last minute and the place was beautiful inside. We asked if we could sit in the bar as the fire was lit. Our service was slow and we did have to go and order at the bar but the food was delicious. The burger and chips which yummy. Very much recommend it to anyone.

    Very nice meal and experience at the restaurant, we’ve visited a few times before and stayed on site at Mountain Edge and it has always been very good. We are there two nights in a row! A special shout out to Olivia, very professional, friendly and welcoming, she was also a hit with our 9 month old son who was smiling at her when she interacted with him. Thank you so much
