Enjoy a Christmas lunch in luxury on board the British Pullman vintage train. This luxury train day trip is all about fine dining, beautiful English countryside, and good old fashioned festive spirit.
Your unforgettable afternoon starts at London Victoria Station in the British Pullman Lounge. Tucked away near platform 2, away from the rushing commuters, you will discover seasonal refreshments, live music, and an array of impeccably dressed passengers. A journey on this train is the perfect opportunity to get dressed up. As a general rule, the dress code is smart casual, but many people use the Festive Lunch as a chance to wear their finest clothes. Read our dress code guide here.
Before long, it'll be time to head to the train. When you step on board, you'll see that the exquisite 1920s carriages have been beautifully decorated for the festive season. Settle into your plush armchair and enjoy a chilled glass of champagne as the train pulls away from the station. For those interested in the history of this vintage train, your steward will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the carriage you are in, and between courses, guests are welcome to wander through the train to marvel at the other carriages. Each one has a unique name and a unique story. Click here to find out more about the different carriages. If you have a preference, you can speak to our team after you’ve booked and request your favourite. We recommend coming up with a ‘Top 3’ as we can’t always guarantee a particular carriage (but we’ll always do our best to make it happen).
Watch the cityscape transform into beautiful countryside while the chefs prepare a stunning five-course lunch. Over the course of the afternoon, lunch will be served leisurely, alongside fine wines that have been specially selected by the resident sommelier. Finish off with a Great British Cheeseboard followed by tea, coffee and petits fours.
