Great little cafe nestled in Gillingham not far from the railway station and main high street,great friendly service and nice grub. Nicely kitted out and atmosphere.
Plenty to choose from.
Downside is not much parking but this cannot be helped.
I've been here a couple of times already!
Let me tell you, today's omelette was one of the best I ever had. Served with a fresh, crispy salad and a coleslaw. I'll be back! Highly recommend ! 👌

The pastries and shortbread specialities are an explosion of sweetness and a feast for the eyes and are delicious.
Thing is, that's it.
Over the last 18months I've tried all their usual café fayre.
Only the delights I've waxed lyrical about above are worth going through the door for. Oh and the nice clean loo.
They have a highly heated display cabinet for sausage rolls &c and yet contrive to produce a dry grey sausage meat disappointment.
Then there's the coffee. As has always been the case and continues still, the friendly staff are conscientious and don't rush.
It is as it would be in an exemplary café.
So how disheartening must it be for the crew to be keeping up their side of the bargain as they swap quite the thinnest weakest Mocha, say, I can ever remember.
Yeah, yeah oh my coffee's pretty poor. So unimportant, so quotidian.
These have been getting harder to ingest over the last year or so and I'm afraid that this time, I took four sips of the over-hot wet stuff and then poured it into the gutter in despair.
I've given these lovely people the last of my train journey tea time tenners as I'm resigned to going without unless I can get to Waitrose and back in time for the Waterloo service.
Good luck to them.
Egg and bacon bap with MAYO! YESSS. Fab. Should have had it with Mother's Pride trash bread. My bad. I could have had any form of bread choice going! More fool me. But Brioche with savoury? Who are these weird people !!!!
They had air con but insisted on the back door being open, so it was drafty. Shame bout that.
The first time of going there, the food was grear, so was the service, really friendly and welcoming, I am certainly going again.
I love the filling station, it's a friendly small cafe that always makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door, on a warm summer's day you're lucky to find a free table, it's very popular but that's the joy of having take out as an option too l. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the food is always fantastic and the milkshakes are always delicious. I cannot recommend enough.
They are simply the best Sandwiches, and milkshakes cakes I have tasted are used to live in Marlborough Wiltshire and I would say they were even better than the poly tea rooms😄
Great food there Sandwiches are packed and cheaper than other places around here. Milkshakes are delicious.
The milkshakes are a firm favourite of my daughters, and the staff are always welcoming and friendly.
Love the milkshakes, favourite place to go after shopping, car park isnt big but its always worth going 😁
Great little place...clean and food cooked well.
An excellent place for breakfast.
Great atmosphere, lovely staff and good food. I'll definitely be going back
Modern, Artisan type coffee/deli/cafe.
Lovely food, tasty coffee...well worth dropping in.
Its by far the smartest place in Gillingham.
We regularly visit the Filling Station for lunch and also buy the most fantastic bread which is brought to the shop, freshly baked in the early hours of the morning. Malc you really are a star 🌟for that. Carole's delicious food is so beautifully served and brought to the table by lovely Ellie, always friendly and smiling. What I would say, is ignore the bad reviews, the writers of those definitely have a problem. The water issue should not be an issue and it is the height of discourtesy to expect to be able to consume one's own food in a coffee shop with only a glass of water.
Great value, lovely food and friendly staff🤗
Very nice straight forward food, enjoyed a lot sat outside in the sun👍
Really nice place to have something to eat. We went in for breakfast. Lovely and clean. Will go again and will recommend . They have a small car park as well. In all a very good experience.
The owners are friendly the food is good ..... thanks..
