Title: Charlbury station cafe Post by: Richard Fairhurst on December 06, 2021, 10:22:57 The little coffee shop at Charlbury station has today reopened under new ownership.
It's now called "Cafe de la Gare", which is a hint that it's now being run by Cafe de la Post from the neighbouring village of Chadlington. Open from 6am, though I apologise for not getting up this morning to try it out, nor venturing down now in the pouring rain... Title: Re: Charlbury station cafe Post by: IndustryInsider on December 06, 2021, 10:27:39 Good to see it’s reopened. Hope it can survive as such businesses are now much more marginal with the reduction in commuters. Quite a few have yet to reopen.

I suspect the commuter/leisure mix will have changed - apparently they did a dry run on Saturday and were pleasantly surprised at the number of leisure passengers using it. It's notable that Charlbury has become the railhead for Soho Farmhouse, and you'll very often see taxis and minibuses picking up groups to take there - I wonder if they might be a lucrative potential market too.
