For a Sunday lunch or evening meal with a difference, whether for a special event, anniversary or just a night out, why not try the Bodmin & Wenford Railway’s Luxury Dining Train…?

Excellent food and drink, together with a superb, first-class dining service on a steam-hauled train provide a unique and memorable experience. Relax and allow our uniformed stewards to serve-up some mouth-watering dishes, whilst the beautiful Cornish countryside slips gently by.

The Railway’s dining train coaches are beautifully fitted out with wood panelling, table lamps and curtains, bringing back the style of an age gone by! The train has tables for two or four persons, each with a table lamp next to a window.

A full three-course meal, with tea/coffee and mints, is served to your table, and our stewards can offer a selection of wines and spirits, locally brewed beers and soft drinks – on board the train.
Fares including 3 course meal & train travel:- Adult £36.50, Child £26.50
Our Luxury Dining Train is also available for private hire - click here for further details.

Dress code - at your discretion but most passengers choose smart casual.
