About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Lovely family meal at the Station Inn. Shared 3 starters of garlic mushrooms, chicken wings & ribs. Very impressed with them all. 6 different main courses including 2 steaks and very pleased with all. Only negative was the large chips with the steaks as we would have preferred the smaller homemade chips that came with the other main courses

    We have been once before, but took a couple for their first visit. Like ourselves their were very complimentary of the whole experience. Excellent food, wonderful ambience, good service, the dining area is very light and airy and has a very good ambience, the staff are also very calm and their attitude is very good. Would definitely recommend for a different eating out experience and will be visiting again in the not to distant future.

    A quiet Tuesday night birthday meal. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Our order was taken without being rushed. The courses were served in a timely manner. Our starters were very tasty (Pork Belly Bites and Prawns). The steaks were excellent - my wife commenting the rib-eye (cooked rare) was probably one of the best steaks she had ever had. Highly recommended - and well worth paying that little bit extra for a superb meal. Will definitely visit again.
