Hi All, I am looking at a surprise present for the Inlaws, and come across a dining on a Steam train experiance, and was wondering if anyone had done this before and is it good. i dont know if this is worth it but it's only £109 for 2 people including a 6 course meal and the trip is about 5 hours. Cheers Kev b
Would recommend it There is something that feels good about eating good food and drinking nice wine when on an old-fashioned train. I was lucky enough to do the British Pullman from Victoria to Folkestone, food was tremendous, service first class and I got hammered on fine red wine. Then we had to slum it on the Orient Express to Venice for a couple of days. Amazing experience - though I never understood how James Bond managed a shag on it, there was not even room for a w*nk (I know, I tried). Tremendous fun - I have been a lucky lad ! I would thoroughly recommend it.
here go mate, see what you think http://www.virginexperiencedays.co....th=culture,cruises-steam-trains,price-100-250
Sounds a great idea mate. Think you can do it in North Yorkshire too if that's more practical... http://www.nymr.co.uk/food-and-drink/pullman-diner-service/
Took r lass on nymr for her birthday. Snap was good and so was ride on a puffa train. highly recommend it.
Sounds a bargain Been on North Yorks Moors plus meal Also the "quasi" Orient Express in UK that cost £500 for two!!! Good day out and something different
I've done it on the Watercress line in Hampshire - its good fun and the food was pretty good - the only drawback is its not a long track so we went up and down the line a few times - once per course I seem to remember it would definitely be an improvement to have a longer journey so the scenery isnt in a loop http://www.watercressline.co.uk/Home
