About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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.

    Outstanding birthday dinner with my husband! Ribs and pate appetizers were first rate, and our steaks were excellent. Nice wine accompaniment. Enjoyed the modern ambience in an old building. Comfortable seating. So glad we went!

    Our party of 4 adults had a very enjoyable meal here and received excellent service throughout. This wasn't our first visit and it won't be our last. The menu is (unsurprisingly) meat oriented, but the quality is first class and there was something to suit everyone's taste.
