Delightful food and wonderful staff
We came to the pie and mash steam train ride. The food was prepackaged in cardboard trays with wooden cutlery. The food was delicious but rather difficult to eat with the wooden knife and fork. My husband had the helles lager while I stuck to fruit juice.
There was also trolley service on the train and as it was such a warm evening they came around with extra ice.
It felt like we were back in the olden days on this wonderful steam train. The carriages were restored to the highest level and the seats were comfortable.
It was a 2 hour journey and there was occasional commentary giving useful information about the train, the stops and what may be in the future.
Overall it was a delightful evening and one I would highly recommend.
A big shoutout to the lovely staff ( who changed my pie order at last minute) and to their cheery demeanour which added to the occasion.
