YOUR JOURNEY
This festive journey begins with a red carpet welcome at your departure station, where the attentive Stewards will escort you onto the luxurious Northern Belle train. As you settle into your comfortable seat, you will be greeted with a glass of sparkling Mimosa, setting the mood for the enchanting day ahead. While enjoying your cocktail, take a moment to peruse the delectable menu crafted by renowned Head Chef, Matthew Green.
This journey takes you back to the Golden Age of rail travel, where no detail was too lavish for the discerning traveller. As your departure date nears, the Executive Head Chef and his dedicated team will be preparing a delightful three-course brunch and a sumptuous six-course dinner for your return trip. Each meal is thoughtfully designed using the finest seasonal ingredients sourced from the British Isles, featuring a delightful mix of classic and innovative dishes, all expertly crafted in the kitchen carriage.
