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.

    We were perhaps fortunate - a quiet day at the place so a table for 9 in the first room with bar. Perhaps as a result - excellent service at all times.

    Unfortunately we didn’t have a great visit this time. We placed our food order at 7pm for a group of 5 and food was finally served at 8.05pm then when the potatoes were missing off my plate I was told they had run out - asked why I hadn’t been told before the meal was served no one knew the answer. I was offered an alternative type of potato which I said yes to but it arrived as I’d finished the chicken and veg on the plate 😪. It was a shame as we usually have great food and great service

    Chose to eat here as it had good reviews on TripAdvisor. I had ribs for starters and rump steak with pepper sauce, dauphinois potatoes, cabbage and bacon for mains. Food was absolutely unreal. Staff were friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it. Would definitely return if I was in the area again.

    11th Birthday surprise for my grandson. Staff friendly and very helpful. He had chicken wings, fillet steak, ice cream and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had garlic prawns, rump steak, ice cream. Disappointed with prawns though, wouldn't order them again - but all in all OK.

    We went on Friday Butchers night so a lot more atmospheric with more people. Tried the Flat Iron for the first time - highly recommend as no faffing around with fat/gristle, it cut beautifully and was very moreish. My partner had the Sirloin which he would highly recommend and again no messing around. He said that the Peppercorn sauce could do with a bit more oomph! Tomato that came with the steak/salad could be grilled for a bit longer to release more juices. On the whole though it was the best steak we have eaten in many years and we will definitely be going back for more. The staff were lovely and helpful. Give it a go, you won't regret it.

    Excellent concept and food. The only down sides being. 1. No Drinks list or signature cocktails 2. No wine list Not having a wine list was a big disappointment. We like to peruse not only the different wines but also the wine in relation to price. Its very difficult to do this in a split second when told by the service staff at the table. Drinks list offered after the meal would be useful to have a little after dinner strong drink. Whiskey, Brandy, Irish Coffee etc
