The Flag And Whistle - Tewkesbury

This has to be the worst post-dog walk treat for a Sunday morning. The bacon bap I received was old, cold, dry, and stingy for £4.90. If I had seen it before getting home, I would have returned it and asked why it is acceptable to serve this to paying customers. This does not seem financially sustainable. Word of mouth spreads quickly.

I have to agree with Kathleen, we visited yesterday. The brown bread sandwiches were quite dry, but the white bread ones were not too bad. Our teas were very weak and light in color. Overall, it's a nice little cafe located at Toddington train station.

I arrived at this restaurant with a coach tour group after visiting Cheltenham and enjoying an afternoon train ride. We had booked afternoon tea, but unfortunately, I was not impressed. The sandwiches were very dry, and the tea was not hot enough. I left feeling disappointed.

Naively assumed that a ‘traditional’ station cafe might be able to present a decent breakfast… along the lines of similar establishments around the country. Very poor quality sausage lacking any sort of meaty flavour, lukewarm and with a nasty soft texture. I could well believe it was a veggie version but no suggestion anywhere that this was the case. Flabby bacon, hash brown tasted of old cooking oil as did the fried bread. A nice idea… but using up the crusts from the loaf is a bit of a cheat as they go hard. Also only half a slice of fried bread… seems a bit miserly. Egg was the best bit… clearly just cooked whereas the rest of the food looked and tasted as though it had been hanging around for too long and kept barely warm. Maybe my timing was wrong as I was there about 20 minutes before the end of breakfast service… that’s no excuse, quality should be up to standard whatever time the food is served. Disappointing… convenient location for a snack or meal when going past

Enjoyed a lovely HOT pot of tea for 2 no skimping on tea bags so a decent cuppa accompanied by a good slice of delicious coffee and walnut cake and a generous cheese and pickle roll 2 happy customers enjoyed our pit stop between our steam train journeys to/from Cheltenham a great atmosphere and experience
