In one of the Northern Belle’s vintage 1930s Pullman-style carriages, your table is elegantly set with pristine white linen and sparkling glassware. Each carriage is uniquely decorated by skilled craftsmen such as marquetry experts, muralists, and mosaic artists.
Prepare for a nostalgic voyage back to the opulent era of rail travel, where no luxury was spared for the esteemed passengers. As your journey approaches, the Executive Head Chef and his team will be diligently at work in the kitchen carriage, creating a lavish seven-course lunch. Each dish features premium seasonal ingredients sourced from the British Isles, showcasing a blend of traditional and innovative recipes.
Next, lunch is served as you traverse gracefully through 14 tunnels and over 22 bridges – including the breathtaking 24-arch Ribblehead Viaduct, towering at 104 feet high and stretching a quarter of a mile.
