    We loved it. This is such a lovely restaurant, the food was superb and the staff so friendly and efficient. The quirkiness of the building and the fact that we are in a railway carriage added to the enjoyment. We will definitely return if we are in the area again.

    We had a lovely family meal out, having eaten there before on a couple of occasions we knew what to expect and that we would enjoy it. My husband and son had the Meze and the kids snd I had starters and 1 dessert. To us it was nice and affordable and very tasty. The staff were really nice and friendly. We will definitely go again in the near future .

    It's interesting to eat in a train carriage. The food was okay. Wasn't the best, but was nice

    I wish we had decided to go to The Sidings before. It's sad that we have missed out on this treasure for so long! Food and service was fantastic! We will definitely be back. Perhaps a lactose free dessert could be added to the menu ????.

    A return to a much loved Restaurant. We sat in the rail carriage for our mixed meat and veggie mezes. For dessert and coffee we sat outside as the weather was amazing and it’s a real sun trap

    What a fabulous place to eat! Always wanted to go here and finally got around to doing it and we were not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and service throughout the meal was superb.

    Excellent reception, shown to our table after a drink at the bar. Not rushed with our meal at all. Attentive without being a nuisance. Very reasonable cost given the quality of both the food and the drinks
