Enjoy a traditional Sunday lunch for two in your own private compartment aboard a beautifully restored vintage steam train in Derbyshire. Sit back, relax and take in the scenery as you journey along the charming Ecclesbourne Valley Railway together. On arrival, you will be welcomed aboard by the friendly train staff and shown to your exclusive compartment, elegantly prepared with crisp linen tablecloths, crockery and cutlery ready for your meal. Your dining experience begins with a delicious starter, followed by a classic roast lunch made with locally sourced meat, served with Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables. After dessert, tea or coffee with petits fours provides the perfect finishing touch. As the steam train gently travels through the Derbyshire countryside towards Duffield and back, you can soak up the nostalgic atmosphere and enjoy around 90 minutes of relaxed heritage rail travel. Perfect for couples or close friends, this unique dining experience combines vintage luxury, scenic views and a comforting Sunday roast in the privacy of your own compartment.
