I went for brunch with my wife this morning. The cafe is situated in the old waiting room at the old Wilmington train depot in hull. For maps put in Foster street/ Cleveland Street. On entry on the left are some old pictures of how things used to be . Fascinating. My father used to work in the signal box for the railways there. The interior is very rustic. We had a medium and a large breakfast which was fresh cooked and served very quickly. It was hot and tasty and came with plenty of toast. Tea or coffee is included. Total price was just under 13 quid. The staff are very friendly and we was made to feel very welcome. This to me is a transport cafe but in the top league. No frills or fancies just good old fashioned grub at a very reasonable price with excellent staff.
