The Romans first built the road outside the entrance to link the Roman forts at Stanwix (Carlisle) and Birrens (Eaglesfield), this being part of their main route from England into Scotland. They built a marching camp just to the rear of the Station in the first century AD and we believe there’s been an Inn of some type here ever since.
Local boy Thomas Telford (From Langholm) was tasked with improving the local roads in 1840 and about this time, the Kirkpatrick Inn (as the Station was then known) was rebuilt with the same frontage visible today, it was predominantly at this time a Coaching or staging House.
The Caledonian railway came though the village in 1840 and Kirkpatrick Fleming Railway Station was built about 250 yards in front of the Inn, since that time the building came to be known as 'The Station Inn'.
Summer 2019 witnessed the complete renovation and remodelling of the building, into the one you see today and to highlight the renovations we thought that we would change the name slightly to “the Station” just as the locals have always known it.

The Turkey roast dinner was by far the best roast I have ever had. Highly recommended.
This was an unexpected but joyous find. So good the first time that we came three days later for Sunday roast... And it was even better. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was uniformly well prepared, well presented, and delicious. (The pictures speak for themselves here - but the shredded beef in a giant Yorkshire is a highlight but the popcorn cauli is a lovely starter and the fish and chips comes in a half portion which is nice). Kids were well looked after with colouring and meals that were of a good size and good value (our picky toddler cleared his plate both times). Only 3 minutes from the motorway: very much worth the detour!
Fantastic dog friendly pub/restaurant. We called in here while driving through as it was just off the M6. Lovely staff and great food. We'll visit again if nearby.
Found this little gem off a eating restaurant just off the M74. Amazing welcome from the young lady behind the bar. Placed in a booth which had plenty room. The place is spotlessly clean. Even the toilets which is usually not the best but I just had to prove these guys clean everywhere. The food for lunch is a restricted menu. But still a nice selection. Can fault my fish n chips. Nice and crispy fish and chips triple cooked. Plenty parking also. Don't bypass the hidden gem folks. We definitely going back if your passing.
A historic building and the incredible creativity of the person who created the restaurants in this place. Interior very calm with a friendly atmosphere. Comfortable seats, atmosphere and accents telling the history of this place allow you to feel comfortable and original. We visited this place on a summer evening before the weekend. I only ordered Churros, wanting only dessert. If the food offered in this place is as delicious as the Churros then I will be coming back for sure. If you are visiting Gretna, Scotland or just passing through Gretna, you are only a 6-minute drive from here
