"Cake lovely, smallish portion. Cappuccino not nice at £3.50 a cup expected better, left unpleasant taste"
Naively assumed that a ‘traditional’ station cafe might be able to present a decent breakfast… along the lines of similar establishments around the country. Very poor quality sausage lacking any sort of meaty flavour, lukewarm and with a nasty soft texture. I could well believe it was a veggie version but no suggestion anywhere that this was the case. Flabby bacon, hash brown tasted of old cooking oil as did the fried bread. A nice idea… but using up the crusts from the loaf is a bit of a cheat as they go hard. Also only half a slice of fried bread… seems a bit miserly. Egg was the best bit… clearly just cooked whereas the rest of the food looked and tasted as though it had been hanging arou...
The cafe is situated next to Toddington station. It is light and airy and at this time of the year the cherry blossom is in full bloom, so if you are sitting outside it is a lovely sight. We ordered the sausage, mash and peas, shortly after we were advised that they had run out of mash so chips were used as a replacement. Unfortunately just after this a booked party came in which resulted in a delay to us receiving our food. The meal was excellent, sausages very tasty and the portions extremely generous.
Tried to order a assam tea that took 4 attempts. Also ordered a cheeseburger and chips. Burger arrived at 13:18 but no chips after the second time asking staff. The chips arrived at 13:54. Reason given was that they had new staff, who started that day. But why would you have new staff members operating a till and taking orders with no-one with them. The answer to that is no-one who is a good manager.
This has to be the worst post-dog walk treat for a Sunday morning. The bacon bap I received was old, cold, dry, and stingy for £4.90. If I had seen it before getting home, I would have returned it and asked why it is acceptable to serve this to paying customers. This does not seem financially sustainable. Word of mouth spreads quickly.

Situated in Toddington station, the cafè has lots of tables and space and is very well organised. We did not wait long for our food and it was really nice and tasty, perfect in between trains. Staff was very helpful and did their best. I believe is generally open to the public too so it is definetively recommended
Enjoyed a lovely HOT pot of tea for 2 no skimping on tea bags so a decent cuppa accompanied by a good slice of delicious coffee and walnut cake and a generous cheese and pickle roll 2 happy customers enjoyed our pit stop between our steam train journeys to/from Cheltenham a great atmosphere and experience
I arrived at this restaurant with a coach tour group after visiting Cheltenham and enjoying an afternoon train ride. We had booked afternoon tea, but unfortunately, I was not impressed. The sandwiches were very dry, and the tea was not hot enough. I left feeling disappointed.
I have to agree with Kathleen, we visited yesterday. The brown bread sandwiches were quite dry, but the white bread ones were not too bad. Our teas were very weak and light in color. Overall, it's a nice little cafe located at Toddington train station.

Food was reheated, the milk was UHT. For the price we expected a whole lot more. Very disappointing. We shall not be back and we are Members of the railway society ! Seems to have gone really downhill. Customer service non existent
