The Brief Encounter Refreshment Room Bistro Bar at Carnforth Station, expertly managed by Liam Law and Andrea Wren, is a delightful destination steeped in cinematic history. This charming venue is best known to film enthusiasts for its role in the 1945 classic Brief Encounter, directed by David Lean and featuring the unforgettable performances of Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson. While the movie refers to the station as Milford Junction, it 's here in Carnforth Station where the magic truly happened. Step inside and experience our Refreshment Room, meticulously restored to evoke the authentic ambiance of the 1940s. We take pride in serving a wonderful selection of homemade food, complemented by a licensed bar and an array of high-quality hot beverages. Whether you 're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or a delightful afternoon tea, we welcome you to join us and indulge in the cozy atmosphere. Our venue hosts a diverse lineup of entertainment and special events throughout the year, with updates available on our Facebook page. To ensure a perfect experience, we recommend booking a table in advance, especially for afternoon tea, which requires a minimum of 24 hours ' notice. Come visit us in our Dining Room or the Bar, or explore the charm of the former Station Master 's Office. We look forward to welcoming you to The Brief Encounter Refreshment Room, where memories are made, and every meal is a moment to savor.
