Off The Rails Cafe - Wigan

I love this charming café. The staff are friendly, and the food and drinks are much better than what you would typically find at a train station. The bacon and sausage sandwiches are absolutely delicious and irresistible!

This train station is a hidden gem, with friendly and attentive staff at the ticket office. But the real treasure is the Cafe, offering delicious food, drinks, and service from charming ladies. The bacon sandwiches are excellent, and they also have a great selection of cakes and wines. It's worth taking advantage of the free parking for 20 minutes to enjoy a meal and a delicious coffee, then relax in the beautiful garden surrounded by Rosemary bushes in the sunshine. After an experience like that, who would want to travel by train anywhere else? Especially in the heart of the stunning Cotswolds! Perfect!

The catering at this station is almost perfect, with excellent coffee offered at very reasonable prices. The bacon rolls are wonderful and there is a selection of pastries and cold drinks available. It is also worth noting that they added an alcohol license last year, with some very interesting wines for sale at reasonable prices. Personally, I would make the drive just for the coffee, even if I wasn't catching a train. The lady behind the counter provides a great sense of humor, but you have to earn it by being a nice and friendly customer. It is definitely worth the effort, especially early in the morning.

Great coffee and snacks and currently offering sushi for collection on certain evenings. NOTE: this is not a cafe, as such, so don't do what some have done and arrange to meet your friends here. But to grab a proper coffee or a freshly made bacon sarny, it's cracking.

I love my visits to Off the Rails when traveling from Kemble. Lovely freshly made coffee and a sausage sandwich to die for (with brown sauce.... . Always a friendly word and a smile from the staff too. They have now started to sell some lovely wines too for on or off train consumption. I was tempted but it was still early morning! Maybe next time when on a fun trip somewhere. A lovely little station cafe in the old world style but with new world goods. Highly recommended.
