Leonard Wilfred Davies, born 19 December 1906, started a butcher's dynasty now four generations old. His butchers typical cheeky sense of humour now lives on through his grandchildren along with his knowledge of butchery.

In 1997 Leonard’s grandson Richard opened The Station Inn, which quickly generated a great reputation for quality steak. With Richard’s son, Ben’s passion and expertise as Head Chef and Butcher, The Station’s dining experience is a true reflection of the families deep passion for serving amazing steak.

20 years on from opening The Station a major upgrade has taken place, which at its core aims to celebrate the families heritage and knowledge of meat. In order to identify your exact preferences the chefs help you choose the best cut of beef to cook for dinner. It makes for an unforgettable ‘butchery and dining’ experience.

    There was only one grill in use and a lot of people were ordering steaks which meant there was a delay in taking the orders (30 mins). The staff did explain why there was a delay which was good, but only when I asked about placing our order. Also we were a table of 2 sat between 2 other tables of 2. It seemed very close and felt like our conversation was heard very easily by our neighbours and vice versa. Not a lot room in between the tables to move away from our table, trying not to knock their table or arm .

    Wonderful as always, small hiccup when we arrived as I had booked a table in the main restaurant but we were seated in the bar. This was quickly resolved and we were seated. We were taken to the butchers cabinet, where we were invited to select our steak and it was then freshly cut in front of us. The food is superb, steak melted in you lr mouth and it was seasoned well. Service was great, it was busy too so this made it even more impressive. Well done station inn again, this is our 12th time here and the experiences never falter. We even managed some steak back home for the dog :)

    We as a couple went for the butchery night on a Friday and we must say the food we had was cooked to perfection. The staff were very attentive. Couldn't fault anything.
