DALES DINING

Travel in our First Class Dales Dining train and enjoy a luxury journey through the Yorkshire Dales whilst enjoying a bite to eat.

In the morning, our Dales Dining train serves a cooked breakfast as part of your journey.  At dinnertime, Ploughman’s lunches or Winter Warmers are often available, depending on the time of year.  In the afternoon, it’s Cream Teas or Afternoon Teas.

Our evening Dales Dining services offer a choice of Fish & Chip Specials or the Curry Express, depending upon the date of your journey.

On selected dates, we offer more than just a journey – we have Murder Mystery evenings and Faulty Towers (The Dining Experience) which feature entertainment with professional actors around the stations and on the train, plus a more extensive 3-course meal is served as part of a longer experience.

The carriages in which you travel may vary.  We mainly use our own 1950s and 1960s historic ex-British Rail Mk 1 vehicles, lovingly restored in our workshops.  These Mk 1 coaches offer seating around a table of 4, in an open-carriage layout.

Additionally, we occasionally use coaches such as the 12-wheel LNWR Directors saloon, a very special coach which has two saloons and a variety of seating options.

Travel in Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee Royal Saloon to make your journey even more special – breakfasts and Afternoon Teas are usually available, and are served by the coach’s owner and restorer, Stephen Middleton and his family.

Online advance booking is absolutely essential for all of the ‘Dales Dining’ events.  Most events do sell out, and in particular the Afternoon Teas, Cream Teas and Fish & Chip Specials usually book up very quickly and so early advance booking is strongly advised!  More information is available by clicking any of the images below.
