All aboard for a feast on the rails! Step into our beautifully restored 1950s/60s heritage carriages for an unforgettable culinary journey through the Nottinghamshire countryside.

Steam, scenery, and seriously good fish & chips – what more could you ask for? As our magnificent steam locomotive powers along the historic Great Central Railway route towards Loughborough, you'll tuck into a freshly prepared meal from a traditional local fish & chip shop, served piping hot as you depart.

Your classic British feast includes:

  • Your choice of main: Traditional fish & chips, hearty sausage & chips, or vegetarian pizza
  • A refreshing drink to wash it down
  • A tasty flapjack or biscuit to finish

The experience:

  • Savor authentic fish & chips while watching the Nottinghamshire countryside roll past
  • Feel the rhythm of the rails as steam billows past your window
  • Enjoy that perfect combination of vintage travel and British comfort food
  • Relax in heritage carriages as the landscape unfolds before you

This isn't just dinner – it's dining with a view, wrapped in nostalgia and powered by steam. The perfect blend of heritage, scenery, and the nation's favourite takeaway.

Whether you're a railway enthusiast, a foodie, or simply after a unique evening out, this journey combines the very best of British tradition: great trains, great food, great memories.
