Emsworth Train Station is home to Queenie’s Vintage Tearoom and Bar which transports people back in time - and doubles up as a speakeasy on Friday nights.

The Vintage Tearoom, owned by Queenie Butler Hoskins, opened up in May 2022 and it has become an asset to the station as it continues to progress. The 1940’s tearoom is decked out with traditional decor, timeless music and the service has proved to be one of its biggest draws. Dishing up freshly-made deep filled sandwiches, dippy egg soldiers, loaded waffles, nachos, chicken goujans and a range of sweet treats, there is something for everyone – and to make things even better, the tearoom has now got an alcohol licence.

The licence has given the tearoom endless opportunities and on Friday nights from 7pm until 9.30pm it turns into a 1940’s speakeasy where cocktails and bar snacks will be on offer, as well as live music from local artists. Toasted marshmallow espresso martini, Terry's chocolate orange cocktail and mulled wine are all on the menu for the Friday night specials which have gone down a treat.

Queenie said: “It is a whole experience really so when you come to us you step through the door and step back in time and that is more than just the decor, it is the way you are treated as well because it is a really personal experience.

Queenie's Vintage Tearoom and Bar, Platform 2, Emsworth Railway Station, is a recommended place to go in the area.
