The Railway Café by Mughli – Alderley Edge, Cheshire

Opened last week, The Railway Café in Cheshire’s Alderley Edge is a “pop up” collaboration between Mughli and highly regarded Chef David Gale. Although making restrained use of familiar spices, the creative yet compact menu is a world away from the "Curry Mile" favourites that once helped Mughli to build their brand. 


With Chef Gale planning to open his own place in the centre of Manchester, this partnership is scheduled to only last 3 months – hence the “pop up”.


I’ve already been three times - I’ll write something more detailed when I get more time but as the window for going is short, I thought I’d get some pictures up quick smart so you can see what it’s all about…

It was all fab but I’ve included some stars (*) to rate my favourite dishes.
