Ellipse in West Dorset

We had an absolutely fantastic evening last night. From the moment we walked up to the lit station and carriages to saying goodbye to our waitress, it couldn't have been better. The food was excellent, especially the lamb and desserts. There was also a lovely touch of a birthday card and small cake with candle for my partner. Definitely recommend and well definitely be back if we're down this way again.

Visited for a special family birthday. Unique setting with great decor, fantastic food and service. Would visit again for an occasion and would give 6 stars if possible.

Had lunch here. Very friendly service and tasty food. Will visit again!

Booked here for a birthday lunch and it did not disappoint. The theme and decor are gorgeous, perfect details and impressive service. Catered fantastically for veganism with great alternatives. Fabulous cocktail menu. Will definitely be back when we visit Dorset again.

Lovely food and quirky setting. Would highly recommend.

This restaurant is just amazing!!! The decor, the atmosphere, the staff and especially the food are fantastic. Visited twice over the new year and each time we were very impressed. So much that we have booked again for August, cannot wait

What an absolute gem of a place this is!I have enviously watched many friends visit the station kitchen over the past few years, and finally managed to get rid of the kids for a night and take the wife out for a birthday treat.We loved it, really relaxed feel, and first class food...couldn't have been better! We will be back!

Wonderful meal at The Station Kitchen last Friday. We were met with a big friendly smile. The menu is fab - I went for the mushroom burger which was absolutely amazing with all the 'off the rails' accompaniments. The hand cut chips are fabulous. It was interesting to learn from our waitress the history of the beautiful carriage in which we dined. The decor is delightful both in the carriage and Station house. I look forward to returning soon.

A very very quirky and lovely dinner out. The train station and carriage restaurant has so many interesting objects packed in to it that you will spend the whole of your meal spotting new things (a few of my favourites attached). The menu is very much aimed at the fish lover but was excellent in range.The Dover sole is especially tasty. Having never had skate wing before that was a nice new dish to try and it did not disappoint. The duck to start was a nice variation on a classic dish and worked well.The wine menu is equally well thought out and the Chablis we had went well with our dishes. The menu is expensive but I would suggest it's worthy of it's price tag.They even have a kids menu (which according to our kids the burgers were very good).Lastly make sure you book as they seem to be fully booked out for a fair few days at a time.If in West Bay and a fish lover this is not to be missed.

Such a great place for a drink, a lunch or a dinner date in West Bay. We got a table in the old station rather than the wagon and we found it better with kids. The bar is really nice and kids like to look everywhere to watch all the details. Service was good especially the bar man but the rest of the team was quite slow but still so kind. Food is delicious, kids had salmon and scampi with fresh fries and portion were good and quality so much better than what they get from other places in kids menu. We had skate and sole in the special menu and all was delicious.
