About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood 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.

    When we arrived, we were surprised that the pub / restaurant was so empty. As a result we were a little worried what the food was going to be like. However we needn't have worried. My steak was cooked to my liking and my husbands fish and chips was a decent portion, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The chips in particular were fab! The service was attentive and good, even the chef came out to say hello! The pub only lacked atmosphere because we were the only two in the dining room The prices were very reasonable and we both agreed it deserved to be busier.
