Bistro At Etchingham Station - Rother

This restaurant is a hidden gem! Whether you're looking for a quick coffee while waiting for the train to London or want to enjoy a lovely lunch in the charming garden area, this Cafe/Bistro has something for everyone. Don't miss the delicious pizza on Thursday and Friday nights. Paul and his family always make us feel very welcome. Well done!

After a busy day during our trip, we stumbled upon a charming restaurant on our way back to our B&B. It was pizza night, but we were pleasantly surprised by the homemade Bruschetta and garlic bread, which were delicious and generously portioned. The pizzas lived up to the rave reviews we had heard. The restaurant itself was lovely, with a beautiful garden in the old station where we could enjoy our meal. When it got too cold outside, we were able to move back indoors to finish our dinner without any hassle. I couldn't resist trying the homemade lemon cheesecake, which was the perfect end to a delightful evening. The staff was charming and the food was delicious. The only downside was the paid parking, but understandable given that it was a real train station.

The perfect venue for a private party. Easy access by train or car, gorgeous garden, well stocked bar, first class service with a smile, the best wood fired pizza outside of Italy! Nothing too much trouble for Paul and his team family) who are just brilliant hosts.

Lovely time in sunny garden this morning. Delicious coffee and cakes, cheerful service, very relaxing setting. Beautiful flowers on all the interior tables

Independent oasis in Etchingham waiting for the train, I've always had a soft spot for places like this in railway stations, having a break before going somewhere else. They are rare, the only other one that comes to mind is the pub at Kew Gardens stations. Ignore negative reviews, fantastic welcoming staff. Every station in the UK needs a place like this. Please visit.
