Brief Encounter Afternoon Tea
Crewe, Manchester, Bolton
The Experience
Enjoy a traditional afternoon tea with a difference aboard the vintage Northern Belle train.
This unique experience begins as your steward welcomes you on board and shows you to your comfortable armchair seat. The elegant table, laid with starched tablecloths, uniquely branded silverware and highly-polished glasses perfectly complements the luxurious carriages.
Soon the treats are served: a delicious selection of finger sandwiches, homemade cakes and pastries, freshly-baked scones with lashings of clotted cream and preserves, as well as tea or coffee. Indulge as you enjoy the convivial atmosphere and admire the views from your window.
Our journey includes a stop at Carnforth station; restored to its 1940's glory and the setting for the iconic film Brief Encounter.
Visit the heritage station, have a dance on the platform accompanied by our house band, or learn a little of the film and history of the station.
As you stand on Platform 1 with its vintage suitcases and railway posters, you can almost imagine the era of the movie from a bygone time.
After our very own Brief Encounter at one of Lancashire's most picturesque stations, our journey and gastronomic feast continues. This truly is an experience to remember forever.
