Broadway Station Refreshment Rooms

You'll watch steam trains from the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway pull in and out—there's something rather compelling about experiencing that firsthand.

The station itself has quite a story. It closed during the 1960s and stayed shut for many years until a dedicated group of volunteers took on the demanding job of bringing it back to life. The refreshment rooms fully reopened in 2018 as part of that restoration effort, and they've been carefully restored to capture the feeling of how things used to be. You'll find it appeals to railway fans and equally to anyone looking for a break with real character instead of the usual chain café experience.

Practically speaking, you're positioned right at the edge of Broadway village, which makes this a natural waypoint before you head onto the high street to explore independent shops and restaurants. If you're doing any of the walking trails around here, it's a handy place to grab something to eat midway through. It also works well as a jumping-off point for reaching Chipping Campden, Evesham, and other nearby towns. Whether you're genuinely keen on steam railways or simply want a pleasant place to pause, it's worth a stop.
