Afternoon Tea Train Experience

Join us for a relaxing Afternoon Tea on board our elegant steam train as you journey through the beautiful Cotswold countryside.

Your experience begins on the platform, where our Train Manager will greet you and direct you to your reserved table in one of our First-Class carriages. Once on board, you’ll be looked after by our attentive staff as you enjoy a delicious selection of finger sandwiches, two petite scones with clotted cream and jam, a savoury tartlet, and an assortment of cakes — all served with traditional charm and style.
