Relax in your elegant surroundings and gaze out the picture window, watching the passing scenery unfold and contemplating the gastronomic journey ahead. Within minutes, one of our liveried Stewards will carefully pour you a sparkling Mimosa cocktail as you study celebrated Head Chef Matthew Green’s sumptuous menu.
Ahead lies a journey back to the Golden Days of rail travel, a time when nothing was too good for the pampered passengers. Our Executive Head Chef and his team will already be hard at work in the kitchen carriage preparing a sumptuous three-course brunch and six-course dinner, accompanied by our Sommelier’s choice of wine. Each course boasts the finest seasonal ingredients from the British Isles, classic and innovative dishes are crafted in our recently refurbished kitchen carriage.
En route to Chester a delicious three-course brunch is served as the glorious countryside passes by. On arrival, follow the platform guides as they accompany you to our private transfer which will escort you to the Cathedral. Spend the afternoon learning the history of the Cathedral and take time to explore on your own.
After an incredible day we rejoin the Northern Belle for a Champagne reception, before tucking into a sumptuous six-course dinner during the leisurely journey home.
Chester Cathedral, a stunning example of mediaeval architecture located in the heart of Chester, boasts a rich history dating back over a millennium. Originally founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1092, the cathedral's awe-inspiring Gothic design features intricate stonework, majestic stained glass windows, and a soaring central tower. Beyond its architectural splendour, the cathedral serves as a vibrant hub for worship, culture, and community events, welcoming visitors to experience its timeless beauty and spiritual significance.
