About this experience
Journey back to the golden age of rail travel with The Midlander First Class Steam Train Lunch Experience for Four. Departing from Loughborough Central, your steam locomotive will take you on a leisurely journey through Charnwood’s breath-taking countryside, with a pause on Swithland viaduct to admire the views over the reservoir to the forest.
During your journey, you’ll be served up a delicious two-course meal, with the likes of chicken and mushroom pie and broccoli and stilton pasta bake mains on the menu, followed by cheesecake or chocolate and raspberry tears. Finish with coffee served with chocolate mints, before sitting back and enjoying each other's company as the idyllic views roll by.

“Great afternoon out!”
Lovely day out, very nostalgic. The food was lovely, all freshly cooked. I didn't enjoy the fruit salad, maybe a better choice of desserts, but the coffee & warm mince pie made up for it as we weren't expecting it. Highly recommended.

“Awesome day!”
I was so pleased to receive this gift from my sons for my birthday. I called up and was able to use my voucher easily. I actually upgraded a little to go on a Saturday. The instructions were sent in lots of time, it was so brilliant. The train journey was lovely, the staff kind and friendly, excellent service. The food was wonderful and the whole experience was like being in a bygone age. We had an absolutely fabulous time.
“First class experience”
This was a gift for our golden wedding and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations. The surroundings, service and food were all excellent. The trip evoked many memories and was a wonderful reminder of my much loved late brother who loved steam trains.
