Bodmin Parkway - Signal Box Cafe

The award-winning Signal Box Café, located in the former signalbox adjacent to the main station building is operated by the BWR. It is open 363 days a year and serves a variety of snacks, sandwiches, cream teas, cakes and sweets, together with tea, coffee and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks, and a limited range of souvenirs. The home made cakes in particular are heartily recommended!

In 2012 the Signalbox Café was awarded the ‘Best Station/On Train Retail Outlet’ in the National Community Rail Awards. The Awards – which “celebrate outstanding achievement in Community Rail Development” – are organised by the Association of Community Rail Partnership (ACoRP). The ‘Best Station/On Train Outlet’ award recognises establishments that provide outstanding products and service on or near a railway station.

There are no catering facilities at these two stations, although both offer a pleasant spot for a picnic.
