MLSR Tea Room
The tea room serves hot and cold drinks, a variety of sweet and savoury snacks, homemade cakes and sandwiches for our visitors on all Steam Railway open days.
Please note that the Tea Room is an on-site facility and therefore an admission ticket must be purchased to enter the site and use our facilities on all of our Steam Railway open days between 10.30 am through to 4.30pm.
The quality of the Tea Room management has been formally recognised and on 28th September 2022, the Middy Tea Room was awarded 5-star rating for food hygiene.
