Just a little snippet of this week’s delicious Off The Rails menu…

Our Dartmoor roast chicken breast, served with honey-glazed carrot, creamy mushroom mash, wild mushroom gravy and seasonal greens.

And to finish… Claire’s garden apple & berry crumble, warm, buttery and delicious, served with a generous scoop of vanilla bean gelato.

Simple, seasonal and seriously delicious.

In West Bay for the day?

Go see our friends at West Bay Tea Rooms for the best proper scones… and those cheddar ones!! Honestly, yum! And they’ve got loads of lovely cakes and bakes too.

They also offer takeaway, so grab yourself something lovely and take it down to the beach!

Have a mooch around our wonderful harbour, go for a wander along the coast, get some fresh sea air and enjoy West Bay for the day.

Then come and see us for dinner!

Good food, good people, cake, sea air and a proper Dorset day out.

Another wonderful review for the Platform team!

There’s something particularly special about welcoming guests back — and even more so when they leave such lovely words behind.

Our guests recently returned for their second visit and chose our “Off The Rails” menu, describing the food as “exceptionally tasty”, the service as “great” and the overall atmosphere as “wonderful.”

We’re incredibly grateful for the feedback. Our team puts so much care into what we do, and reviews like this genuinely mean a great deal.

Thank you for choosing Platform — we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

WE’RE RECRUITING!

We’re very sad to be saying goodbye to two of our amazing lads, who are both off travelling and onto their next adventures.

So… we’re on the hunt for a couple of new faces to join our Platform family!

KITCHEN HAND
Ideally with some experience, a good work ethic and a willingness to get stuck in.

FRONT OF HOUSE
Again, ideally with experience — someone who loves people, enjoys being part of a busy team and doesn’t mind the odd bit of chaos!

We’re a busy little railway station with a brilliant team, great food, plenty of laughs and no two days quite the same.

Fancy jumping on board?

A little thank you from EF Go Ahead Tours “Just wanted you to know I verified that Simon (our tour guide) already emailed Go Ahead's Main Office that our group was
overwhelmingly impressed with the lunch selections today.

One guest - "Best meal I've had in 3 weeks"!
Another 4 said "best fries - truffle fries" ever.

Crispy-excellent flavor-not oily" Myself "amazing seafood chowder". Delicious-full of seafood
options and not too creamy"!
Superb!!!!

Everyone agreed " best meal on our trip so far"! You have done an incredible job as a chef,
restoration artist & interior designer! Bravo!
Best of luck on the restoration of the monastery!

Can't wait to return some day to see the results! Love your vibe! However, secretly hope your husband wins - so you can bring
your culinary and design skills to the US so you are more “

GUESS WHAT… IT’S THAT TIME OF THE WEEK!

Yep… OFF THE RAILS IS BACK!

Available Thursday, Friday & Saturday — because quite frankly, who doesn’t fancy escaping the rails for a couple of hours?!

Good food, cheeky drinks and absolutely no need to behave yourself.

Hop aboard… you know you want to!

AFTERNOON TEA, THE PLATFORM WAY

We’re rather proud of what comes out of our kitchen at Platform… because everything is made completely from scratch. No shortcuts, no bought-in products — just proper homemade food, made with care.

And our Savoury Gluten-Free Afternoon Tea is no exception.

Beautifully presented, wonderfully indulgent and packed with delicious homemade savouries — proving that gluten-free can still feel wonderfully luxurious.

We’re proud to cater for all dietary requirements, without compromising on flavour, quality or presentation.

All aboard for a rather special afternoon tea…
