Coffee Pot Cafe - Tewkesbury

We wanted to experience everything that the volunteer-run railway had. We were pleased with the restaurant at Winchcombe, one of the stations on the railway line. I chose a coronation chicken roll, which was full to the brim with small chunks of chicken in a delicious sauce. I said 'full to the brim ' but none of it squeezed out onto my hands. I loved it. The tea was freshly made. The staff (not 'staff ' volunteers were friendly and informative. We liked their waistcoats too!

We visited here today with our family who are visiting us here in Winchcombe. We thought this looked nice for some tea and cake however the lady was very abrupt and rude and did not appear to want to be there the cake also tasted very dry would not revisit.

Broke our journey from Cheltenham Race Cpourse to Broadway at Winchcome (actually near Greet) for about 90 minutes. Was not too busy. Cake and tea on Platform 1, taking in the scenery and goings on. Seats available inside too. 50s themed I can vouch for the china teapot with knitted cosy and the home made cakes. Run by helpful and pleasant railway volunteers.

If your looking for yet another coffee chain serving overpriced frothy milk then this is probably not for you. However if you enjoy your sandwiches freshly made, a moist slice of homemade Victoria or coffee walnut sponge or even a toasted tea cake then this will delight you. Sorry no fancy breads or overly complicated filling here, but our family regularly pop in for the joy of simple food, made with care presented with a few crisps and a little salad on the side. To this add the atmosphere of a small country station with trains chuffing in and out and what better way to pass an hour. The staff are always polite, maybe not the quickest at calculating the price but as the children are occupied in the model railway we’re in no rush. Look out for the cosy on the tea pot or treat yourself to local beer, cool cider or a little pot of ice cream on a warm day. As we call in regularly, even when we are not on a train this is the experience over a number of visits across the year.

This small cafe on the platform really has a feeling of old times with quite a few items on display to view. The staff are brilliant just a pity the quality of the coffee and food does not match. Needs some investment to bring this up to modern day standards of food and drink whilst retaining the old world charm.
