Step aboard the Northern Belle for an experience that truly redefines luxury train travel. Perfect for anyone looking to spoil a loved one with an unforgettable gift, this exquisite fine dining journey is a celebration of indulgence, elegance, and timeless charm.
Your day begins with a red carpet welcome at your departure station, where you’ll be escorted aboard the Northern Belle’s opulent 1930s-style Pullman carriages. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that this is no ordinary train ride. One of the liveried Stewards will guide you to your plush seat, where you can relax and enjoy the first of many highlights – a glass of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut NV Champagne, poured just for you.
As the train sets off, you’ll embark on a journey through the glorious British countryside, but it’s the incredible cuisine that steals the show. The celebrated Head Chef, Matthew Green, has crafted a sumptuous seven-course lunch using only the finest seasonal ingredients from across the British Isles. As you settle into the rhythm of the journey, each course is expertly paired with the perfect wine chosen by the Sommelier, ensuring that each bite is a culinary delight.
Start with freshly prepared canapés, including indulgent caviar blinis, before moving on to a delicious seasonal soup course. The main course showcases the best of British produce, artfully crafted to reflect the route you’re travelling. Then, indulge in a decadent dessert, expertly prepared by talented chefs, before rounding off the experience with an exquisite selection of British cheeses, complemented by chutney, fruitcake, biscuits, and a glass of Port.
The experience doesn’t end there. Relax and reflect on your incredible journey with Fortnum & Mason tea and delicate petits fours, as you soak in the spectacular views of the British countryside from the comfort of your luxurious surroundings.
Whether it’s for a special occasion or a truly lavish treat, the Northern Belle Train Fine Dining Experience promises to be a day you’ll never forget. It’s the perfect gift to truly spoil someone special – a journey that blends fine dining, sophistication, and the romance of a golden age of travel.
