The Old Station Inn
About
Nestled between Bath, Bristol and Wells, The Old Station Inn & Carriage Restaurant offers a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary dining. The venue sits in the former Hallatrow Railway station, its Pearl‑white façade a testament to 1920s architecture, while inside, a lovingly restored Pullman carriage now serves as a buffet‑style dining room topped by an elegant wooden bar. Guests can enjoy the carriage’s spacious, train‑carriage ambience or step into the lively pub area, which is emblazoned with railway memorabilia ranging from antique skis to vintage car parts. With a comprehensive wine list, free‑style eclectic menu curated by celebrated chef Neville King and a large beer garden, the Inn caters to diners of all ages and tastes. Opening every day, the use of the “Pizza” time? (??) ⏰―the restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with a full‑day opening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed family meal, a romantic evening under the stars or a historic stroll through a living rail‑heritage site, The Old Station Inn promises an unforgettable experience.
