As Britain’s rolling landscapes glide by, savour a seven-course luncheon that marries culinary flair with farm‑fresh provenance. Choose on the day from our à la carte selection — perhaps English river trout to start, followed by grass‑fed Hereford beef or halibut landed that morning, finished with a pâtisserie tour‑de‑force. All dishes are cooked to order, paired with sommelier‑matched wines and the impeccable service that defines the Northern Belle.
Re‑imagine a classic ritual as our pastry chefs present a seasonal medley of finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream & jam, and jewel‑like cakes worthy of a royal reception. Sip loose‑leaf teas or clink glasses of Champagne while plush carriage interiors and picture‑postcard scenery provide a backdrop of pure indulgence.
Morning light falls gently across polished walnut and glimmering crystal. Settle into your seat as the day begins, savouring the first toast of celebration as autumn’s colours drift past your window. Hours melt away in unhurried comfort until dusk draws in, and the carriage glows like a festive jewel box. A lavish evening unfolds at your pace, each course a story of the season, crafted with the flair and finesse of our celebrated Food & Beverage Director, Brian Clark. Two journeys, one seamless ribbon of indulgence, framing a day steeped in elegance and winter magic.
