About

Nestled in the scenic Somerset countryside, Pip’s Railway Carriage Café invites visitors into a whimsical setting housed in a 19th‑century railway carriage and a charming double‑decker bus. The menu showcases locally sourced, organic ingredients with a range of breakfast, lunch, and evening dishes, including vegan and gluten‑free options. A sunny garden terrace offers fresh pastries and café coffee in an open‑air ambience, while the carriage booths provide a cosy, historic dining niche. Evening service is available on the first and third Fridays of each month, adding a seasonal touch to the menu. Whether you’re chatting over a quick takeaway from the Bakebox, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or delighting in a candle‑lit dinner, Pip’s delivers quality, creativity and a warm, convivial atmosphere that feels like a stop‑over on a scenic train journey.
