We booked our trip which included breakfast late last year and not necessarily for Valentine’s Day (though my husband has been walking around looking smug now for days) it was so well organised, the station attendants and all staff where dressed up in appropriate clothing of the time of a steam train. We had a lovely drink in the cafe before the trip, they sold cakes and breakfast items that looked lovely also!
On the train we were in carriages prepared for our meal. White linen table clothes and a reserved table for each of us. Our drinks and food ordered was taken just as we set off and tea and coffee arrived in lovely large pots followed soon by our breakfast orders.( We had pre ordered these).
The trip was two hours and we had a beautiful view as we ambled along watching nature at its best.
We would both recommend especially as a ‘meal’ as this way your guaranteed your selected seats together as you can buy just train tickets but no guarantee who you may be sat with as it was busy in those carriages.
They seem to provide lunch and evening meal options and also an Indian extravaganza which we are thinking about booking.
The staff on (and off) the train were polite and friendly and enhanced our trip even more. We found the cost superb at just under £58 for the two of us including or breakfast and brews with the option of purchasing selected extras on board (we may have participated in a prosecco it was Valentine’s Day after all)
If your looking for nostalgia and a wonderful way to spend time then we would recommend 100%
