Nestled at 2 Station Yard, this charming spot knows how to blend comfort with creativity, ensuring every visit feels like a return to a cozy embrace.

At Platform One, the drink selection is nothing short of a caffeine lover's paradise. Whether you’re in the mood for a rich Espresso (£2.20) to kickstart your day, a comforting Latte (£3.30) to savor during a mid-afternoon break, or a decadent Mocha (£3.60) to indulge your sweet tooth, every sip is crafted with care. Their range of speciality drinks adds a playful touch, with options like the Mango Frappuccino topped with cream and the refreshing Strawberry Basil & Cucumber Cooler — perfect for those warm, sunny days.

But what sets Platform One apart isn’t just the drinks; it’s the menu that invites you on an exquisite culinary journey. Start your day with the sumptuous Platform 1 English Breakfast (£14.50) or the lighter Avo on Toast (£9.00) for a burst of flavors. Diners rave about the Brisket Benny (£13.50), which harmoniously marries succulent meat with perfectly poached eggs atop a fluffy crumpet, all lovingly drizzled in hollandaise sauce. Halloumi Hashbrowns (£11.95) are a must-try for their delightful crunch and savory depth, making them a crowd favorite.

Adding to the café's charm is its inviting atmosphere, where the chic marquee encapsulates a sense of community with a dash of privacy. Many patrons, like Howard Law, echo sentiments about its dog-friendly policy, making it a haven for furry companions and their owners alike. Friendly, attentive staff ensure that every experience feels personal, although some visitors, like Kimm Summerlin, noted a desire for a more relaxed pace during peak hours. However, overall, the warmth of customer service shines through, as several reviews highlight the genuine hospitality found here.

Customer experiences speak volumes about Platform One's commitment to quality. Paul Culbert praised the excellence of both the brisket and the English breakfast, while fans of unique flavors enjoyed the inventive dishes like the celeriac and apple soup. With fresh ingredients and thoughtfully curated meals, you can’t help but feel uplifted while dining here.
