‘No leaves on this line… Just awesome breakfasts!’
A café in Kent, described as a ‘one-of-a-kind’ spot and ‘hidden gem’, has gone viral after a video showed food being delivered to customers by a model train.
Nibbles Railway Café in Newenden, a small village in the Ashford District of Kent, claims to offer a ‘truly unique dining experience where nostalgia meets novelty’.
‘Watch your breakfast roll in – literally- delivered to your table by a beautifully restored vintage N gauge railway,’ the website says.
The café has gained a large social media following with more than 20,000 followers on Instagram.
Perhaps the best news is the fact that you can get a bacon butty for just £3.90!
Videos show the trains carrying mugs of coffee, full English breakfasts, Playmobil characters as passengers and a tips carriage.
For Halloween, the trains were decorated with spooky decor, including a giant skull.

In a TikTok video posted by the account Ashford Food, which claims to ‘promote the amazing food and drink that Ashford and district has to offer’, one of the trains is shown delivering a range of food items to customers
The caption reads: ‘Experience the joy of a model train delivering your food straight to your table! Nibbles, in Newenden, right on the border of the Ashford district, has seen its custom triple since launching this unique concept and we can see why’
In other amusing videos, one of the trains is shown delivering a single can of Coke.
Speaking to the BBC earlier this year, owners Dave and Lindsey Wheeler said business at the village café has nearly tripled since they built a complex model railway to deliver food and drink to customers.
The café is so popular that they are regularly fully booked with no availability for walk-ins or takeaways.
In an Instagram post, the café said they have been overwhelmed with customers, with 100 customers booked every day, which is their capacity.

One commenter jested: ‘Do they offer a bus replacement service if the train get inexplicably cancelled?’
The café is similar to Prague’s Výtopna Railway Restaurant, which delivers food and drinks through a fleet of 14 digitally controlled miniature trains on a 900-meter track

The restaurant has a cult following and more than 1,400 five-star TripAdvisor reviews.
But in the UK, Nibbles Railway Café appears to be one of a kind.
One user commented on the Kent café’s Instagram page: ‘You should franchise this idea, it popped up and I looked for anything similar local to me, and there’s nothing. My son would go nuts for this!’
