The Northern Belle

Experience authentic opulence of 1930’s rail travel aboard the Northern Belle luxury train. Visiting Britain’s top destinations, the Northern Belle takes passengers back to the Golden Age of Travel where a ride on a train was all about the journey as much as the destination. Climb aboard and be welcomed by restored 1930’s carriages that take you back to a time of glitz and glamour with seven lovingly restored carriages all featuring their own unique designs. Restored by some of the UK’s top craftspeople, the Northern Belle is expertly finished with intricate marquetry, murals and mosaics with every detail restored back to its former glory. A journey aboard the Northern Belle is more than a trip, it’s an experience of the senses with exceptional fine dining featuring the finest seasonal ingredients from Britain, hand-crafted on board by an executive head chef. As the scenery unfolds, sit back in your armchair and experience a truly once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Beautiful brunches, lavish lunches or delicious dinners, every journey aboard the Northern Belle included sumptuous cuisine. As you take your seat, converse with fellow passengers and watch the glorious British landscape glide by, a feast is brought to you to ignite the senses. Every meal a unique culinary experience, accompanied by champagnes and wines carefully selected to compliment your meal. With stewards available for your every need, a top-up of your favourite beverage is never too much trouble.

As equally impressive as the 1930’s restored carriages is the fine cuisine served on every journey. Featuring fine seasonal ingredients, dishes are hand-crafted on board by exceptionally talented chefs for a combination of classic and innovative dishes. As the scenery unfolds outside your window, your senses are infused by the tastes in front of you. Ideal to celebrate a special occasion, a meal aboard the Northern Belle is comparable to that of a high-end restaurant but with ever-changing scenery outside and a truly authentic 1930’s experience inside.

Big things happen in the small kitchen car. Exceptionally talented chefs create some of the most sumptuous cuisine you have ever tasted, all from a kitchen the size of a cupboard. As meals are prepared at speeds of up to 100mph by chefs with incredible levels of training, a new meaning is brought to the phrase ‘fast food’. With unique skills that allow chefs to work in confined spaces and yet still create incredible flavours, you can expect cuisine like you have never tasted before. Plus unlike some operators, the Northern Belle chefs can cater for a wide range of dietary needs.
