The Triple Choc Hot Chocolate 😍😍

What an absolute gem of a place! A beautiful hour spent here after our bike ride. The staff were so friendly & the food absolutely fantastic - we both opted for the club sandwich after seeing other rave reviews & were not disappointed. So fresh & tasty. As for the cake selection - wow! Can't wait to go back!

What a lovely welcoming little treat. Came here with my friend today, had the yummiest sandwhich, tea and cake. Yummy food at a good price, and very welcoming, helpful staff. 10/10

What a lovely discovery on Mother’s Day after a wet Dog walk. A warm welcome from friendly staff and amazing cakes!!! We will be back again for sure x

What a brilliant 3 days. So much organising goes into this festival and every year it gets better and better. Fabulous time had by everyone x

We stopped in for a slice of cake and a hot drink each yesterday and everything was absolutely delicious � such lovely staff too!

Very friendly staff with excellent choices of food and drink at great reasonable prices. The Free Festival a bonus as it was such a wonderful afternoon would recommend a visit

This was my first time to the Booking Hall. I'd heard so many good reports about it. What can I say? Amazing! We had 3 dogs with us and this was not a problem. The seating outside was great. The cakes were yummy, the staff very friendly and it's so lovely that the station is being looked after. We will definatley be back. !!

The home of the Bacon Sandwich... the home of the Ploughman’s... the home of decent HOT coffee... the home of fine service... and the location is perfect. An absolute gem on the flitch way?

The best local festival around.... amazing set up, fantastic bands, great food and even better drink and all held together by a fabulous team of organisers, staff, family and friends! Much love to you all. Well done Josh and Grace ���

Tea was great, egg sandwich brilliant, but the apple pie... well, that was super

Sandwiches , cakes are delicious. Staff very friendly. We love cycling up to Rayne Station because we always stop and have something to eat. I always recommend Rayne Station to people if they are going on a bike ride. Can't wait to go out on my bike and have a sandwich, cake, and a drink.

Love this place! The sandwiches are so good! Recommend ‘The Clucking Club’ - you will never want a shop bought sandwich again!

Staff are lovely too!

Just a perfect lunchtime . Excellent food, friendly staff, beautiful setting and very well run

I love it here been couple of times now. The sandwiches are lovely & the selection of cakes is amazing. I had trouble deciding which to have. A great setting and you can eat inside or out on the platform.

I had no idea that I hadn't 'liked' you, because I do very much! Simply the best place to eat and drink whilst writing a sermon and catching up with the whole village!

Have been here so many times and always lovely, have never written a review for them before but well deserved one today. The goats cheese salad was absolutely amazing!!!

Great cafe serving amazing cakes, sandwiches and coffee right on the Flitch Way. Staff are friendly and helpful and there's plenty of seating both inside and out. The building is the old Rayne station from when the railway used to run from Braintree through Rayne, it's a beautiful setting to enjoy some homemade scones and a cup of tea.

Cycled from Chelmsford with 2 friends and arrived as it opened. No matter, very quickly produced coffee and toast with a smile. Thank you ladies, we will return.

Brilliant cafe and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
