The Digby Station restaurant occupied a building between the Digby Station and the Digby Restaurant.[1] It was operated for many years by a Mrs. Vye who was famous for her cooking and pastries, inspiring a line of local verse:

Lunches tempting served by the Misses Vye
And featured oft by luscious custard pie[2]

In December 1938, it was announced that the Digby station restaurant would close as train passenger were ow being served by Dining Cars and other onboard refreshments.[3]
