Great Atmosphere
Excellent atmosphere of a railway as it was 50 years ago. Seating inside and on the platform. Only problem very few trains Food is good as well
End Of The Line
I was unpleasantly suprised today, by the lack of service at Bulleid Buffet. It seems to be badly understaffed, with long waits for food. or even coffee. Customers are seen milling about the main counter, as if waiting for a train which never comes. A sense of apathy and unconcern seems to be the general atmosphere. In my own case, after waiting more than 40 mins for my food, I ventured to the main counter and asked if the order would be much longer ? The coffee I had ordered was by now ice-cold, and so was the answer to my enquiry. I was told that it wouldn't be much longer. But no check was made with the kitchen. I ordered another coffee, returned to my seat, and waited... and waited. Naturally, the coffee itself didn't come straight away. I had almost given up, before it arrived. Then finally, so did my food, and was simply placed before me, without any apology for the delay. Is this customer service ? I would very much think twice about using Bulleid Buffet again. Unless I had great deal of time, and a saintly amount of patience.
Poor food but good potential
Went for a quick lunch in between our train stops. Food took almost an hour to come out with some of us finishing eating before others started resulting in us left having to scoff our food down so we didn't miss the train! Chips were smothered in oil and the burger was almost undercooked. Tables left uncleaned and service was poor. This needs to improve as the place has good potential but need some serious help
Shocking attitude's
Arrived at 1.45 new year's eve, they were stopping taking food orders at 2. The 2 young ladies serving tried to time us out by ignoring us, and when they realised they couldn't they were totally indignant, and gave appalling service. verging on aggressive.
Best station cafe ever
What an amazing station cafe. Great food and service - the home made cakes are to die for. Love all the railway memorabilia, especially the old ticket office.
A bit disappointing unfortunately
Friendly service but the food itself wasn't the best. Stringy undercooked bacon, four tiny overcooked fried potatoes, far too many cheap beans,. The egg was nice and the sausage was ok. Expensive for what it was though and the noise of the fridge was so loud, maybe give the grid on the fan a clean as it was covered in fluff and dust.
Train station lunch at Okehampton
Great spot for lunch straight off the train and in for lunch. friendly staff and helpfull Good quality coffee. Perfect spot to start on your walk on the granite way.
Godsend of a cafe
Such a fab station and the cafe is a godsend! I got a whole cheddar with crackers, pickle and butter in a little salad bowl to take on the train. Such a cool idea. Big choice of food and they say certain things can be made quickly if you are rushing for the train
Lovely station and buffet
We travelled from Crewkerne to Okehampton just to have a look at the fairly-recently re-opened station. It was a rainy day and it kept us in the dry! The station, and in particular the Bulleid Buffet, was a delight. The buffet was kept busy serving food while we were there. We didn't have much, but it was lovely and served with a smile. Well done!!
Excellent choices of food and drink
I called into the cafe en-route to a night camping on the moors. Excellent coffee and choice of cakes. I had a piece of bread and butter pudding which I stowed away in my backpack for later. It was better than Kendall mint cake and kept my energy levels up whilst walking. I returned the next morning having walked for seven miles off the moors to have a sausage and egg bap. It tasted delicious and the flat white coffee which I also had was strong and hot. Excellent service on both visits. I really couldn't praise this place enough.
Banoffee Brownie taste bomb!
Banoffee Brownie with Clotted Cream, Boom! Taste explosion. Just what was needed after a long walk on the moors. Dreaming of my next visit. Think it will be breakfast before my next walk?
Great takeaway Coffee and great Servive
Popped in to the station on the off chance there may be a cafe there and it may be open, as I'd driven through Okehampton and hadn't found a coffee house open and I don't do those high street places that serve you brown dishwater in a bucket and call it coffee. Anyway, I discovered there was a cafe and it was open. And what a delightful warm and welcoming place it was. A counter full of home made cakes and an abundance of snack and meal choices. A full list of coffee to have in or take away. The staff were all smiley and friendly. As for the coffee - it was perfect, strong and two shots. One of the best takeaway coffees I've tasted.
Well worth the trip from South Devon
The Buffet is a must if you visit Okehampton Station or are passing through and want something a bit different. Spotlessly clean and well set out. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a good selection of food available which was reasonably priced. On the day of my visit it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale and the all day breakfast was really what I needed before my return journey. Will certainly return.
An important part of a great day out
A pleasant cafe environment with interesting historical details. Excellent home-made food served by friendly efficient staff. Contributed to a great day out on the newish Railway Line, with regular connections by bus into Okehampton itself. Museum looked good but was closed.
Dartmoor Line
The station at Okehampton has been sensitively renovated. The cafe offers takeaway food as well as more substantial meals to eat in. The waitress was very polite and helpful. The cheese scones are tasty and hot. There is also a small museum and shop on the station. They are also worth a visit.
A total Star at the Station
Just wanted to say how very very impressed l was today with Dani The young lady behind the counter went beyond her normal duties. She helped me start my van which had a flat Battery on my vehicle. I was very stress no one to help l needed a car to help start mine. She was fantastic!! So helpful and polite she is a total credit to the Station and her family. Well done Dani my Hero x Thank you
Station Buffet
This was my first visit to the cafe. It was raining when I left the train so I decided to pop in and have a bite to eat with a cup of tea. I noticed delicious homemade quiche and cake. I opted for the Victoria Sponge and it was a generous slice. I loved the feel of the cafe and the welcoming staff. Lots to choose from and, although not cheap, everything looked of good quality and was homemade.
Lovely breakfast
A little bit pricey but a really nice, well cooked and presented full English (Meldon) breakfast. Set me up very well for a good long walk. A good range of cakes, scones and brownies which would have tempted me had I been there for coffee instead.
The best station cafe in the country
Went for our work Christmas lunch. A good range of well price food options. Produced to a really high standard in a nice friendly environment. Right on the platform but you don't need to be travelling to use the cafe.
