A great selection of teas and soft drinks. On event days the outside area hosts local artisan food vendors serving handmade pizzas and modern “street food” options.

Bahamas Locomotive Society
The Engine Shed is an accredited museum that houses numerous displays and artefacts from the age of Steam. Throughout the museum, you can follow a route to guide you through the exhibits and memorabilia to experience how railways used to be. The path will help you understand the history of the railways, the steam locomotive, and the lives of the people who built, operated and maintained them. There are several display cabinets for you to browse so you can take your time and gain a real insight into how things used to be.
