       A MESSAGE FROM OUR
  DINING MANAGER
Allow me to take this opportunity to
introduce you to Dining with Distinction,
steam train hauled luxury dining experiences
through picturesque Lancashire. From the
moment you board our Orient Express
style carriages you will begin a gastronomic
journey back in time, where to dine by train
was the height of sophistication.

Our dining carriages are immaculately preserved, with
their sumptuously upholstered seats and dimmed
lights, providing a picture perfect vantage point to
admire the passing scenery of rolling green hills and
traditional villages.

We have a multitude of dining options available, from
a five course fine dining affair to a great, great value
two course lunch and our NEW FOR 2019 Comedy
Dinner Show, where we pride ourselves on serving
locally sourced produce wherever we can. Our bar is
superbly stocked with a variety of wines, spirits and
beers, including real ales. Champagne is also available
for those truly special occasions.

Whatever your occasion or appetite, Dining with
Distinction is always a first class experience. My team
and I look forward to welcoming you on board!                   P RO U D O F O U R RO OTS

TO P MA RKS
    We are honoured to have received the
    prestigious Taste Lancashire Quality
    Assured award which recognises
    the importance of the food and
    drink industry to the area, as well
    as celebrating those that deliver a
    consistently high quality experience.

          F I RS T C LAS S F I NE S S E
    So much more than just a simple foodie
    experience, our Dining with Distinction
    services replicate the glamour and
    grace of the golden age of rail travel,
    which is why attention to detail is of the
    utmost importance to us. Everything,
    from the beautiful bespoke dinnerware
    and crisp table linen to the actual bells
    and whistles, is lovingly restored.

    Of course quality is just as important
    as presentation, and delivering sterling
    service is at the heart of what we do.
    It is those little touches that keep our
    customers coming back time and time
    again. From the red carpet reception
    and greeting from our Dining Manager
    to being seated and served by their
    personal waiter.
