These are the perfect spots to stop along the railway for a bite to eat, a brew, or a pint.
The Old Parcels Office, keighley
The Old Parcels Office, overlooking the tracks of Keighley Station from the bridge, is the railway’s recently refurbished venue for great food and drink in the centre of Keighley.
The day starts with our Full English Breakfast from 9 a.m, It’s the perfect way to fuel up before riding the trains through the Worth Valley. You can choose from Classic Full Breakfast, The Big Breakfast (for those with a larger appetite), A Full Veggie Breakfast or Fluffy American Style Pancakes.
Starting from lunchtime, we can keep you going with a selection of main meals, light bites, sandwiches, and burgers, full of flavour. Our favourites across the weekend for the hungry traveller include a prime steak burger, topped with Monterey Jack cheese, bacon and onion rings; for a lighter bite, a proper fish finger sandwich filled with battered goujons, and to finish off with a classic Sticky Toffee Pudding with lashing of creamy custard.
Along with the flavour-filled menu, our well-stocked bar offers a rotation of hand-pulled real ale, draught lagers, and cider. If you have worked up a thirst with all the comings and goings of steam trains, we will be happy to quench your thirst throughout the day. You’ll also be able to get a proper brew to keep you going.
A traditional pub with a warm welcome, a perfect space for meetings or celebrations.

the tea room, oxenhope
In 1982 the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway invested in an atmospheric tearoom. You can now enjoy lunch and refreshment breaks throughout the day seated in a railway carriage that used to speed along Britain’s mainline railway network. Besides top-quality tea, coffee, and other soft drinks, the tearoom offers sandwiches, pies, cakes and biscuits!

If you don’t have time to visit the Old Parcels Office, the Buffet is also open whenever passenger trains run. Positioned on the platform, the buffet is an old W. H. Smith bookstall; you can buy hot and cold drinks, snacks, sandwiches and sweets.
Directly alongside the Buffet is a gift shop, selling books, souvenirs and lots of little gifts.

On-train bar
The Keighley & Worth Valley is unique because most of our trains convey a real-ale buffet car, serving real-ale from traditional hand pumps. The buffet car also serves tea, coffee and a wide selection of soft drinks & snacks – but it’s the real-ale that is the real treat for our passengers.
But how does a traditional beer barrel with sediment remain drinkable on a moving train? The beer is drawn from the cask before the journey into a specially made drum on the train, ensuring a perfect pint throughout the day. The Railway uses local breweries, and on selected weekends, there can be up to three real-ales on board – we usually try to have two at least!
OPENING TIMES
You can check on the timetable to see when the On-Train bar is conveyed by looking for the coffee cup symbol in the notes section.
Members & Local Resident Car holders can enjoy a discount on it too.
The Tea hut, oakworth
Sit a while and enjoy a nice cup of tea outside the historic station’s Tea Hut and explore the Goods Yard or the trains passing through the station. Enjoy the spirit of a true country station and the open spaces of the Worth Valley as well as top-quality teas, snacks & confectionary.
OPENING TIMES
10.00 am until 4.30 pm
