Caffi RUSSELL'S Cafe — Restaurant in Wales

Stopped off with my son for a quick bacon sandwich after visiting the railway museum and having a short trip on the train. I have hesitated to post a negative review as this is a Heritage Railway run by volunteers, but in the end decided a review might help them raise their game a bit.

I should have 'smelt a rat' when the lady serving told the man lolling on the seat behind us that we wanted bacon sandwiches. I have to say he looked scruffy and not at all chef like and I did feel like cancelling at that point.

Sadly, the bacon was barely cooked and very greasy. Had I been given a knife I would have cut off the 'stringy' rind but had to resort to Mk1 fingers in its absence. To be fair, I could have asked for the bacon to be cooked some more; and also for a knife, but didn't really want to go back inside as the customer service was at best 'odd'. It just all felt a bit amateurish.

In fairness, this is an organisation run by volunteers and the guard on the train and the man in the shop were really friendly, knew their stuff and were more than welcoming. We did enjoy our visit to the railway itself and would go again, just avoiding bacon butties...

Very nice staff. The service was a little slow, but that's understandable considering there was a mass of people there. The menu was fairly priced and had a wide range of options for any lunch. Sandwiches, baps and chips. They did a wonderful chocolate milkshake.

It's certainly well worth a visit if you are passing by and looking for some sort of tea house. And if you have any children that like trains, they have a gift shop just full of toys. And the staff are lovely, and all have their own...
