Dine in style on board our High Weald Belle!Climb on board a steam-hauled train for a wonderful evening dining experience whilst you travel through the glorious High Weald. You can sit back, relax and enjoy a freshly prepared three-course evening meal as you travel in our restored 1960s carriages along the Spa Valley Railway.
Arrive at Tunbridge Wells West at 18:30 to tour our engine shed, visit the gift shop, and enjoy an apéritif and canapés before boarding the train for a 19:00 departure. You'll complete two leisurely journeys along the line, with background music playing on the train, steam and the occasional deer passing the train window. You'll get to experience dining in style with us.
Your train is scheduled to be hauled by one of our steam locomotives in one direction, either the mighty Bulleid Pacific 34053 '303 Squadron' or an engine from the Victorian era, Caledonian Railway No. 828.
During the journey, you can purchase a selection of beverages, including fine English Wines and Ciders from the delightful Biddenden Vineyard in Kent and beers from Harvey's Brewery in Lewes.
Towards the end of your evening with us, you'll be served tea or coffee before arriving at Tunbridge Wells West between 21:30 and 22:00.
