Food from the Farm
With options to pull up a stool at a signature green tiled bar or sink into leather railway carriage booths inspired by traditional railway station houses, The Station Café at The Creamery is a comfortable spot to enjoy a slice of the Somerset good life.
Outside, the garden offers a scenic spot to while away the hours when waiting for a train.The menu offers hearty British classics, served simply and generously. Ingredients come fresh from the market gardens and Butchery at The Newt.
Please note The Creamery is located at Castle Cary Station, not within The Newt Estate. Dogs are permitted within The Station Cafe, but unfortunately not inside the shop. We are a cashless venue.

A Rich History
The original ‘Milk Factory’ was erected by brothers, G&C Prideaux, in 1912. Local farmers would deliver churns of milk to be made into cheese at the factory, which would be transported to the newly accessible London market via the railway line. The height of ‘La Belle Epoque’, it was an era of industrial invention, intellectual and artistic creativity and global wanderlust. Travelling the world was a thrilling new possibility and the reimagined building has multiple references to this ‘Golden Age of Travel’. The restored Creamery keeps the year 1912 firmly in mind, with a new brick extension matching the detailing of the original factory. The design celebrates a rich history of handling milk products, with modern cheesemaking returned to the heart of the building.
