Pullman Wine & Dine Services 2010 Programme

We apologise that our dining train is unlikely to be operation until late summer, due to major maintenance work being carried out on the coaches. 

Join us on a ride through history, travelling in our luxurious Pullman coaches as they journey on a period country railway. Ideal for those special occasions. Enjoy a three course luncheon or a dinner served in opulent splendour aboard our beautifully preserved Pullman train.

Travel in our Royal Carriage Aquila

The Royal Carriage Aquila dates from the 1950's and was used on the Royal Train from Waterloo to Southampton and Portsmouth. Enjoy your meal in “Regal Class”, seated in the sumptuos armchairs while you enjoy fine food and exquisite wines. You could possibly be sitting in the same armchairs that the present Queen sat in! The accommodation in this carriage is limited to 17 diners. A supplement applies.

Or Pullman Carriage Hermione

The luxurious Pullman Carriage Hermione dates from 1926 and was used on the Southern and Devon Belle Services for a number of years. Later the carriage was part of the noted Golden Arrow train. Accommodation is provided with seating for two either side of your table and on the other side of the aisle, individual seats. This carriage seats a maximum of 42 guests.
