The Dinner
One-day round-trip dinner train from London on the British Pullman
Belmond operates The Dinner, a one-day evening rail journey aboard the British Pullman, its heritage train, departing from and returning to London Victoria on the same evening. This is a circular tour through the English countryside rather than a trip to another city, and passengers remain aboard for the whole journey instead of disembarking partway. The evening opens with a welcome glass of chilled champagne as guests take their seats in one of the train's gilded carriages. Once the train is moving, Head Chef Jon Freeman's curated menu is served course by course, paired with the sommelier's choice of wines, while live music plays in the carriage. This suits travelers who want a self-contained evening of fine dining and rail glamour rather than a multi-day trip, and who are drawn to a chef-led menu and wine pairings as much as to the setting.
