Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Solid breakfast, just watch the bacon size.

Butler Henderson Cafe is the quintessential breakfast spot where you can munch on a hearty morning feast while watching steam trains zip by. Jim and the gang serve up a cozy atmosphere that feels a bit festive, even if it’s just your average Tuesday. The sausage baps and afternoon tea are hits among the crowd, with one reviewer even debating the age-old scone dilemma of jam vs. cream. But let’s not gloss over the fact that not everyone is thrilled, with some suggesting the breakfast could use more than a sad piece of bacon and an egg.

Overall, it’s a safe bet if you're in the area and fancy a decent meal with a side of trainspotting. Just don't show up expecting a Michelin star experience; it's more about the charm and less about the culinary wow factor. Still, you'll leave feeling full and maybe a bit nostalgic about the good old days, when breakfast was just breakfast and not a life-altering experience.
