You'll find these favourites aboard our griddle car, along with a bar serving beers, wines, spirits and hot drinks on most trains. Children's meals are also available. Now you don't have to. Today on the Great Central Railway you can relive that experience and enjoy a pot of tea, sandwiches and scones, available on selected trains. Perhaps you'd prefer to tuck into a slice of Melton Mowbray Hunt Cake or savour an early Irish Malt or Armagnac as you steam through miles of Leicestershire countryside towards the setting sun.
Afternoon teas are available to pre-booked parties on some afternoon trains.
Please phone for details. Throughout the year The Great Central Railway also stages original themed restaurant car events. See the list of special events for dates. With a choice of meals of up to 6 courses, chartering your very own train could prove a highly individual alternative for a wedding reception or special birthday or anniversary celebration, providing your loved ones with a day to remember. The Great Central Railway is a popular East Midlands tourist attraction, creating a lasting impression with over 100,000 visitors a year, both young and old.
