Bistro Welcome to the Bistro@thestation page. Keep up to date with all our new upcoming events Come along and see for yourself.

This new triple award winning place to have a drink and a bite to eat is a community interest project driven by local people for both the village and the commuters who use busy Etchingham station. The Bistro is located within a beautiful stone built Grade II listed building originally constructed in 1852 by South Eastern Railway. The community worked with Network Rail, Southeastern Trains and othe

r sponsors to renovate the once partially derelict building to open a bistro and meeting place for everyone. In 2010 the Bistro won a National Railway Heritage Award sponsored by Network Rail for Partnership. This prestigious award recognised the attention to detail given to the renovation of the building.
