The Dining Cars

Take your seat in one of our two restaurant cars, Malva and Samphire, for a unique train dining experience.

Elegant dining area inside a vintage train carriage with ornate lighting, floral-upholstered chairs, laid table, large windows with passing countryside views, and a mirrored ceiling reflecting warm interior lighting.

Chef Simon Rogan

A chef with tattooed arms, wearing a white chef’s jacket, stands in a professional kitchen, holding a spoon and preparing food on a worktop, smiling or concentrating on his work.

The culinary curator on board is Chef Simon Rogan MBE, an award-winning British chef and restaurateur who pioneered the farm-to-fork movement in the UK. Known for his 3 Michelin star restaurant L’Enclume in the Lake District, he has unwavering respect for the surrounding nature, with a focus on hyper-local ingredients.

The Bar

A woman in a dark dress sits on the edge of a seat by a window, bathed in warm sunlight, with her legs crossed and her hand resting on her face, inside a vintage-style room or railway carriage.

As we spirit you away to destinations anew, let off steam with a tipple or two at our Bar, located within the Observation Car.
