The Dinner hosted by Raymond Blanc

One-day dinner train through Surrey hosted by chef Raymond Blanc

Illustration of The Dinner hosted by Raymond Blanc

Belmond runs The Dinner hosted by Raymond Blanc, a one-day round-trip rail journey aboard the British Pullman through the Surrey countryside. Raymond Blanc OBE, the two-Michelin-starred Chef-Patron of Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and a champion of organic and sustainable food, created a five-course tasting menu for the journey, each course accompanied by the sommelier's handpicked wines. Guests board the vintage carriages, with their art deco interiors and gleaming bespoke glassware, to a welcome glass of champagne, and a liveried steward serves the meal course by course as the train moves through the Surrey countryside. This suits food and wine enthusiasts who want a single evening built around a well known chef's menu, in a fully hosted setting with no planning required beyond the booking itself.
