Breakfast Train - £20.00 Per Person Departs Froghall 10:30 Book Now

The Churnet Valley Railway is excited to announce that with its post Lockdown re-opening, a new dining option is being made available to travellers. For those wishing to join our morning excursion, bookings are now being taken for the Moorlander Breakfast Train.
Offering something different, instead of rushing breakfast at home why not come and relax aboard our dining train? Our full waitress service will provide you with your chosen start to the day, freshly prepared onboard our dedicated Kitchen Car, whilst you can sit back and enjoy the 20-mile round trip through delightful countryside as you venture through the weaving Churnet Valley before climbing deep into the Staffordshire Moorlands.
With a varied menu there is a taste for everyone onboard. Priced at £20.00 per person, for those wanting an extra sparkle an additional glass of prosecco can be purchased at £5 to make the morning that extra bit stylish. All dining tickets must be pre-booked in advance, as we are unable to offer on-the-day upgrades. Please see our website and social media pages for updates.

All served with unlimited Tea/Coffee/Water, with our fully licenced bar also available on board for further purchases including Prosecco – either by the glass or by the bottle depending upon the size of your party.  

Some of our dishes are available as Gluten Free. Please contact our office to check before booking what we offer and what our alternatives are. We are able to offer additional allergen free alternatives upon request. This must be requested at the time of booking. We cannot deal with these requests on the day.

First Class Service
Delivering sterling service is at the heart of what we do, and we often find that it is those little touches that keep our customers coming back time and time again. Upon arrival diners will enjoy the "red carpet treatment" where they will be greeted by our Dining Manager before being introduced to their personal waiter, who will endeavour to ensure that their every whim is catered for.

We are immensely proud of our home county of Staffordshire, from its impressive industrial history, to its captivating landscapes and, of course, its award-winning produce. The pride we have for our area is evident in our menus, which have been carefully designed to encompass our passion for seasonal and where possible locally sourced, quality ingredients.
