On-train bar
One of the things that makes the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway extra special is that most of our trains include a real-ale buffet car, complete with traditional hand pumps serving proper cask ale.
The buffet car also offers tea, coffee, soft drinks and a selection of snacks – but for many passengers, enjoying a good pint while watching the Worth Valley roll by is the real treat.
Ever wondered how real ale can be served on a moving train? Traditional cask beer contains natural sediment, so before each journey the beer is drawn from the cask into specially made containers on the train. This keeps it in top condition, ensuring a great pint every time.
We try to source our beers from local breweries, and on selected weekends you may find up to three different real ales available on board – though we usually have at least two to choose from.
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
The Tea Hut is closed until March, and will re-open for the Steam Gala.
