Situated in the middle of the medieval town of Sandwich, this waiting room and ticket office was built by the East Kent Road Car Company in 1922. It reopened as a bar/cafe in May 2022, on its 100th anniversary.

Throughout the day, it serves up coffee, local and premium beers, wine, ales and ciders, including Kentish Pip.

Food ranges from sweet or savoury waffles, pastries through to baguettes, sandwiches. In the evening the light bites feature a range of Kent meat and cheeses.
