Carriage Café — Restaurant in Borough of Fylde

What a nice idea to have a café in a converted railway carriage! Came here mainly out of curiosity, and enjoyed a really satisfying lunch! Located between the promenade gardens and the beach, close to Pleasure Island and the pier, it's actually a carriage connected internally to a brick "station" building behind it. There's a takeaway and ice-cream kiosk, and a shop selling beach tackle, toys and gifts next door. The café itself is clean and comfy, with old photos of local scenes on the walls. There are toilet facilities, and outside seating both in front of the carriage and on a terrace at the back. The lady who took my order was welcoming, helpful and friendly, and I was served quickly.

In three end she relented as customers were leaving. She told her staff that they should be telling people it was an hour wait (for beans on toast). Add to this the fact that don't take cards and the lacklustre interior I would not recommend. Zero stars would be a better...

Unfortunately they weren't serving part of the menu due to being busy, although it was only about a third capacity and no queue. We chose alternative options and half way through us ordering, (at the till) she wandered into the back?? A 2nd girl pointed to a ticket on the tray. That was our number and would be called out when our meal was ready. We told her we hadn't finished ordering yet but the girl had disappeared. Her response was 'is that everything'?? When the food arrived it wasn't too bad. It was freshly cooked and hot. Oh and take cash they do not...
