Overview
Enjoy a classic cream tea for two aboard the Mendip Belle steam train on the East Somerset Railway, served at your table as you travel through the scenic Mendip Hills. This quintessentially British experience combines a heritage steam railway with scones, jam, butter, and clotted cream, served with tea or coffee. Board the 15:30 Mendip Belle service from Cranmore Station and relax into comfortable seating around your table while taking in beautiful countryside views. The journey includes stops at Cranmore West and Merryfield Lane Halt before reaching Mendip Vale, where there’s time to finish your cream tea, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings before the return journey. You can also explore other scheduled services on the day and visit the engine sheds and workshops. Cream tea for two gift vouchers are available to buy online, making this a perfect gift or leisurely day out.

Ann W.
Received as a gift, this experience was a delight, staff were helpful and friendly, the guard a lovely character. We were aware that the track was relatively short but you can do the trip on any of the earlier trains for free. We took our dog on the 2pm train as expected he could not go on the cream tea special, we visited the sheds and had our cream tea in a first class carriage.
Barry Trowsdale

A lovely relaxing afternoon. Delicious scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam and a pot of tea. Beautiful old steam train with sights and sounds from yesteryear. Nice to see such enthusiastic people keeping steam alive. Thanks to everyone at Cranmore for looking after us so well.
Paul Gregory
What a lovely day my partner and myself had, we travelled up from Devon we had a great day.
C m levett
Interesting to see track preserved but journey very short. The cream tea was served by pleasant staff but was very small for cost.we treated family members to trip as well and were disappointed for the extra cost. We realise the railway is a small enterprise and relies on donations but we would not recommend as a day out for a family there is not enough to do for a day out.

Brian Hughes
Interesting and enjoyable but the present length of track is ridiculously short and the train never goes more than 5 mph.

Enjoyed the experience to ride on a steam train again, it brought back memories from our youth and the cream tea was a nice touch.

I had great difficulty in finding the station. I was expecting to see a brown board at the side of the road directing me to the station. The train ride and cream tea very pleasant.
