Step back in time and dine in style aboard our dining service. Travelling through the picturesque Churnet Valley, our heritage steam train dining service combines the romance of traditional rail travel with freshly prepared meals served at your table. From elegant lunches and cream teas to themed evenings and immersive events, we offer something for every taste and occasion—including through our partners a Steam Train Dining for Two gift voucher - perfect for a memorable day out.
All dining experiences depart from Froghall Station, where free parking is available. A fully licensed bar is open (drinks sold separately if not pre-ordered) on every train, offering a range of local ales, wines, spirits, and soft drinks. Our friendly team provides full table service throughout your journey in beautifully restored heritage dining carriages. On some service there is also a trolley service.
We recommend smart casual dress to complement the classic setting. Due to the historic nature of our trains, wheelchair access is limited—please contact us in advance with specific requirements. With the exception of assistance dogs, pets are not permitted on dining services.
Vegetarian and gluten-free options available with advance notice.
