"Visited the train station because of the film connection. Didn't realise the cafe did food. Had the brief encouter breakfast. It was delicious. I asked for no mushrooms or beans. The waiter asked what would I like in it's place, I asked for an extra rasher of bacon I got two and a extra sausage with no extra cost. There was plenty of selection for breakfasts, and the counter had various cakes which looked delicious. I will defiantly go back again."

Curry was out of a supermarket bottle and then a few prawns chucked in. The other meal was a rock hard pie and gravy in one lump.

A cosy yet large cafe, with nice lighting, vintage memorabilia and friendly staff, with non- stop views of trains! My food and drinks arrived quickly and were tasty and I enjoyed chatting with the lovely lady working there. Thank you!

I had read of the venue and also seen a TV feature. I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Glad to say it did with an extremely tasty main meal and dessert. The decor is superb and really lends to the Brief Encounter theme. Staff were extremely pleasant and welcoming

Not sure where to start….. the chicken tikka sandwich/panini resembled something shop bought. The burger was greasy and so cheap tasting it was completely inedible, the people sat on the next table said it looked that bad they wouldn’t give it their dog. On the plus side the chips were hot! Never again !

Bought my partner here for her birthday lunch inspired by the iconic film we watched the week before, being a real romantic ‘n all. The food was always gonna be a bonus however the food was great, served quickly and fresh by really delightful local true Lancashire staff. Real friendly with tonnes of touches from the film itself. Family run who are proud of their business and rightly so ! 5
