October 14th 1982
Perkins Bar Bistro first opened with Tony Perkins in the kitchen and Wendy Perkins running the front of house. Having moved up from London and putting all of their savings into this derelict railway station- they simply had to make it work! Fortunately Tony's bistro style food using fresh local ingredients coupled with Wendy's front of house warmth proved very popular with locals and beyond. At this time the Perkins family of Tony, Wendy and their two sons Jonathan and David lived above the restaurant in the Station Masters flat. Summer 2002
20 years after Wendy and Tony opened the bistro, sons Jonathan and David took over the reigns. David ending up running the kitchen and Jonathan running the Front of House. Summer 2005

Perkins Bar & Bistro offers the dishes we have fallen in love with over the last three decades – all to be enjoyed in a relaxed and informal space – modern and classic seasonal dishes that commit to ingredients sourced from quality suppliers, local when possible. We have an honest approach to cooking, letting great ingredients speak for themselves to produce freshly cooked dishes served without fuss.
