Leonard Wilfred Davies, born 19 December 1906, started a butcher's dynasty now four generations old. His butchers typical cheeky sense of humour now lives on through his grandchildren along with his knowledge of butchery.

In 1997 Leonard’s grandson Richard opened The Station Inn, which quickly generated a great reputation for quality steak. With Richard’s son, Ben’s passion and expertise as Head Chef and Butcher, The Station’s dining experience is a true reflection of the families deep passion for serving amazing steak.

20 years on from opening The Station a major upgrade has taken place, which at its core aims to celebrate the families heritage and knowledge of meat. In order to identify your exact preferences the chefs help you choose the best cut of beef to cook for dinner. It makes for an unforgettable ‘butchery and dining’ experience.

    When we were seated I was surprised and disappointed to find it was a carvery only of which there was no indication on the website. For personal reasons, in that I have a neurological problem, I find standing holding a plate and serving myself with different dishes impossible so I avoid carveries. I need my wife to load and carry my plate which is somewhat demeaning for me. My piece of beef was an end piece which was about 30% fat and gristle and separating off the edible meat, performed by my wife, was very difficult. That being said, the remaining meat was quite good, the sticky-toffee pudding was very good, as were all the staff. However, we will not be returning on a Sunday.

    We went to the Station Inn at Marshbrook for the Butchery night. The food was once again outstanding and all the Staff were very attentive.

    Superb steak and sides. When some restaurants say they grill a steak, what they mean is they put it in a frying pan under a grill… Not here! Proper grilled with a lovely charred crust, perfectly pink interior with delicious sides and sauce. Finally a proper steak in Shropshire….

    I took my grandmother out for lunch and we were very well looked after by the two waitresses. The food was lovely and we had a great time. Thank you all.
