Pip's Railway Carriage Cafe

Pip's Railway Carriage Cafe
Last week Sophie and I visited Pip's Railway Carriage Cafe. We knew we wouldn't be able to sit in the train carriage or double decker bus because of social distancing, but they have built a makeshift kitchen and have outside tables, so we sat in the windy field! It was worth it to once again eat their fantastic cakes. I had toffee apple cake and Sophie had chocolate brownie. Delicious!!

Thank you Roger. When they are back to normal it is advisable to book, but well worth it. There is a brilliant farm shop next to it called The Trading Post.

It is fun when you can sit in the train carriage or bus. Odd really, but I suppose it makes us feel nostalgic :-))

Thank you for your kind comments Christien. With the current restrictions, I wanted to support them whilst they cannot cater for so many people. Usually it was a case of booking.

This looks very interesting in your images, Rosa. The menu looks good too, I could imagine some of those offerings washed down with a flat white.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you George. In normal times it is advisable to book, as they are so busy. Such nice people as well. The flat white sounds ideal :-)

Have a nice sunday evening********

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nouchetdu38 club
It is just the train carriages and a double decker bus Nouchet. A very unusual place, but great food. At the moment they can only serve outside, so we wanted to support them and make sure they stay in business.
Sunday greetings, Rosa.

It looks a lovely place and I can see the food is good. Only a few crumbs left ! Toffee apple cake is right up my street.

A very quirky place Jean. I'm sure you would enjoy it. It was a hard decision, but I think the toffee apple cake was the right one ;-))

What a beautifully painted and clever mural..........it's almost indistinguishable from the real railway carriages and seating.

A cracking series as well Rosa.............with beautiful detail and colours. I'm glad you enjoyed your coffee and cake - and judging by the PiP they didn't last long!

I hope you've had a good day................it's dry here but still pretty windy. We haven't been out anywhere except to the shops since Thursday Take care..

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It is a clever mural and fits the scene perfectly. Thank you for your generous comments.
Ha ha, no they didn't last long and you should have seen Sophie's hot chocolate with a mountain of cream and marshmallows! A good job her mum wasn't there!!

A weekend at home here as well Keith. Taking Sophie out next Tuesday for the last time before school starts again. Sounds like it's going to be a windy week!
Take care and have a good evening.

A fun place for a cake and coffee, I'm with you for the toffee apple cake ( I made a courgette cake last week to use a couple of them ) I suppose cleaning after each person is the problem with the carriage. There was a lady near here who had a double decker but it was repeatably vandalised various locations were tried I think she gave up in the end

 Rosalyn Hilborne
Rosalyn Hilborne club
I think it's more the closeness together in the carriage and bus Peter. They are having work done to make the train carriage into private sections. Your courgette cake sounds good, as long as you can't taste them too much...not my favourite vegetable! Have a good evening and new week.

Like carrot cake you don't taste them, I've not made one but chocolate and beetroot is nice, I hope your week starts well Rosalyn Good night

Hi Rosa

A very nice picture, which I had to study for a long time to see what was real and what was a painting. You got your positioning just right!

I had a look at their web site too. Looks a great place to visit.

It will be difficult for them in the coming months as sitting outside becomes less desirable. One restaurant down our way has invested in a whole pile of perspex screen to put between the tables.. Others have simply taped off every other one...

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!

Hi Peter,
They have done a very good job with this painting. I always stop to look at it.
They are in the process of making individual carriages, as they used to be years ago.
So difficult for restaurants and cafes at the moment. They have to think outside the box and many have come up with unusual solutions.
Take care & best wishes,
Rosa.

This looks a very charming place! It's lucky that the weather allows being outside, it's much easier to manage social distancing that way and there's no problem with aerosols.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Gudrun club
It was always a favourite of ours when we could eat in the bus or train carriage Gudrun. I feel so sorry for them at this time and we wanted to support them. Hopefully soon it will be back to something like normal.
