ALL THE BELLS & WHISTLES
Dining with Distinction is so much
more than just a foodie experience, it
is a nostalgic voyage into the past to
sample the prestige and glamour of a
1920s dining train.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR
Attention to detail is paramount
and every little element, from
the crisp white table linen to the
bespoke dinnerware, adds up to an
unforgettable quality experience.
DINING MANAGER
Allow me to take the opportunity to
introduce you to our Dining with
Distinction services, where our aim is to
re-create the grandeur and sophistication
of dining by train. From the moment you
board our Orient Express style carriages
you will begin a gastronomic journey back
in time to the golden age of steam.
Delivering first class service is at
the heart of what we do, and we
often find that it is those special little
touches that keep our diners coming
back time and time again. Diners will
be greeted by our Dining Manager
and enjoy a red carpet welcome
before being seated and introduced
to their personal waiter for the night
who will endeavour to ensure that
their every whim is catered for.
Our vintage Pullman style carriages, with their
polished marquetry and sumptuous upholstery,
provide an impressive vantage point to admire the
picturesque scenery as it meanders by.
PROUD OF OUR ROOTS
The East Lancashire Railway has
been an integral part of Lancashire
for over 100 years, and the pride we
take in our home county is evident
in our menus, carefully designed to
encompass our passion for seasonal,
locally sourced, quality produce.
We have a multitude of dining options available,
from a four course fine dining evening to a great
value two course lunch, where we pride ourselves
on using locally sourced produce wherever possible.
Our well stocked bar has a variety of wines, spirits
and beers, including real ales. Champagne is also
available for those truly special moments.
A FIRST CLASS AFFAIR
We are delighted to receive the
region’s most prestigious dining
accolade, the Taste Lancashire
Highest Quality Assured Award
which recognises the importance of
the food and drink industry to the
area, as well as celebrating those that
deliver a consistently high quality
experience.
Whatever your occasion or appetite, enjoy a
taste of luxury with a Dining with Distinction
experience. My team and I look forward to
welcoming you on board.
