About

Off the Rails lies in the heart of Yarmouth’s former train station, offering a unique dining experience that blends historic railway charm with modern, riverside vistas. Diners can stroll from the ferry terminal into a warm, inviting space overlooking the tranquil Yarmouth Marshes, where the gentle lapping of the water adds to the ambience. The restaurant proudly welcomes dogs, providing a dedicated menu, treats, and even dog‑friendly ice‑cream, making it a top choice for pet‑owners. In addition to classic British fare, the menu boasts generous vegan, gluten‑free and dairy‑free options, ensuring that everyone can find something to enjoy. Off the Rails operates Monday‑Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM, with a strong recommendation for diners to book a table in advance, particularly during peak periods such as the popular Sunday roast evenings. A modest £10 per‑person cancellation fee applies if a reservation is voided within 12 hours of the planned visit. “We’re proud to offer a comforting blend of local heritage, cosy interiors, and scenic river views, with a welcoming environment for families, dogs and wanderers alike.”
