Quorn & Woodhouse Railway Station

Reviewed By michellesS3677YX

We were staying across the road from the great central steam railway cafe. We decided to have breakfast in the week after relaxing of lockdown rules. This is a fab historic place. The tea room is well laid oit, spacious inside and out, and has adapted very well to the new safety, distancing, sanitiser procedures. Still relaxed friendly and social with good food. As an extra precaution they take addresses and contact details of customers, and were checking that no-one was coming from Leicester which is currently in lockdown. We were visiting family and will definately come again.

We went on the Santa deluxe train on the 23rd December with our 5 children (one being 19!) and we all had a fantastic time. It was very well organised and our food hamper was full of treats we all enjoyed including wine, fruit shoots, mince pies, crisps, nuts, satsumas-plenty for everyone! there was even a sleigh made of various chocolates and cake. Santa was very friendly and the Childrens gifts were good too. The train journey was the right length, it wasn’t too long so the children didn’t get bored. All in all we had a brilliant time and was a great start to our Christmas celebrations!
