Craft Beer & Character by the Station

Key Information

Just across the road from the train station, it’s a perfect first (or last) stop for visitors looking for something with more flair than your typical station-side pub.

About The Old Ticket Office

As the name suggests, this venue used to serve as an actual ticket office – and that history hasn’t been lost in the redesign. Inside, it’s all tiled walls, wrought-iron details, and industrial-chic lighting, combining heritage features with a fun, modern vibe. There’s a buzz here most evenings, and with indoor and outdoor seating (including heaters), it’s a popular haunt year-round.

The Old Ticket Office is best known for its impressive craft beer selection – a rotating lineup of local brews, IPAs, stouts, and lagers, plus a decent range of wines and cocktails. Staff are happy to recommend something new if you’re unsure where to start.

Food here leans toward small plates and sharing options, ideal for grazing with drinks. Think Korean fried chicken, truffle fries, halloumi bites, and flatbreads. Prices are mid-range, with most dishes between £6–£12, so you can mix and match a few for a casual dinner.

It’s not the spot for a traditional Sunday roast or pub classics, but if you’re after something lively, social, and a little different, The Old Ticket Office delivers. Whether you’re meeting friends, killing time before a train, or hopping off just to explore, this place makes a memorable impression.
