Overview
Why buy from us?
Take a trip back in time and enjoy a luxurious evening on the Great Central Railway Saturday Dinner. Start your journey at the Great Central Station in Loughborough, where you'll board the elegant ‘Charnwood Forester’ steam train that will take you through panoramic views of the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, passing through atmospheric Quorn and Rothley stations illuminated by the original Edwardian gas lights, providing you with an authentic early-20th-century experience. Once you board the first-class dining carriage, you'll be treated to a scrumptious three-course meal, with a choice of vegetarian options, served directly to your table. You can enjoy the breathtaking scenery while indulging in a starter, a main course, a dessert, cheese and biscuits, and coffee with chocolate mints. When you arrive at Leicester North, you'll have the opportunity to explore and stretch your legs before boarding the train back to Loughborough. What's more, your rail ticket is valid for the entire day, allowing you to discover individual stations at your own pace and ride the different diesel and steam trains that frequent this historic railway line. Don't miss out on this popular event! Make sure to book well in advance and select your menu options at least a week before your journey. This makes an ideal gift for someone special, and whether you're travelling with a partner, family, or group of friends, you're guaranteed a fantastic evening on the Great Central Railway Saturday dinner train!

  • - We have 3 lines of communication; phone, chat and email and our customer service centre is open 6 days a week. The average answer time for our call centre to answer is 20 seconds and we have a vast help section where you should be able to find any answer online.
  • - Once you have chosen a date, we will help to ensure that you get the confirmation in time for your event and if need be we will liaise with the supplier on your behalf if there is a problem.
  • - After each event we invite our customers to review the venue and the provider.
