A bar and cafe in Paddington Station.
There's nothing particularly special about this place, but then most bars and cafes in stations suffer the same problems. There's plenty of seating inside around the bar, as well as tables out on the patio overlooking the station platforms and shops. The entrance is up a single escalator from opposite the platforms, though there's no down escalator, so you have to go down a staircase to get back to the platform level.
Orders for food and drinks are taken at the bar, and brought to your table. The menu is fairly basic, with a range of pizzas (around £6) and some burgers, as well as panini which they label 'ciampini', though they are much the same. Quality is fine, and they are served with a small amount of salad, which at least is fresh.
The bar has no ales, but the usual lagers as well as Hoegaarden and Staropramen. There's an extensive range of spirits as well.
