About Our Café
The Turntable Café has been a staple of visitor's experience at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway for years, fuelling families, enthusiasts and of course our staff for days spent on our wonderful little railway.
The café is open to the public, including those who aren't travelling on the train, daily when the railway is operational. You can find the dates of the railway's season here.
Dogs are welcome downstairs in the café, with further seating available upstairs.
