Announcements
Join us onboard our first class dining train for a unique dining experience. You’ll embark at Bitton Station before the whistle sounds and the train gently pulls away. In the kitchen car our chef will be busily preparing your meal with the finest local ingredients while you relax and watch the Avon Valley countryside roll by. During your meal our onboard bar will be open and our attentive staff will be happy to help. Experience something special for a couple of hours as you experience the unique sounds, smells and taste of a bygone age.
If you’re looking for a unique gift, birthday or Christmas present, why not choose from one of our gift vouchers?
Please note: We are showing all our menus in advance and asking for meal choices at the time of booking.
When you’re ready to make a booking, click on the relevant link. This will open a new window and take you to the website of our ticketing partner QuayTickets. They are the commercial arm of the charity ‘The Lowry’ in Salford and provide ticketing services for venues across the UK. We chose to work with them as, just like us, any profits they make support their core charitable work.
Cupid’s Cream Tea
This Valentine’s Day, treat your loved one to a traditional cream tea onboard our heritage steam train.
Step aboard with your loved one and enjoy a romantic steam-hauled journey along our picturesque line, accompanied by a delicious cream tea. Tuck into a warm scone with Cornish clotted cream and local English jam, served with a hot drink of your choosing and a Valentine’s chocolate.
You will enjoy a 50-minute round trip of our line for this journey, with the opportunity to alight at either of our stations, Avon Riverside & Oldland Common, to see the engine switch ends.
When you arrive at the station, please collect your boarding card from the station booking office. The train will be ready to board at 15:30 and departs at 15:45 before returning to Bitton at approximately 16:35.
Seats are in open carriages around tables for four. Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of the carriage used for our Cupid’s Cream Tea, we are unable to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs.
£26.50 per person
Train departs at 15:45 on Saturday 14th February.
