Mother's Day Sunday Lunch
There is no more memorable way to treat the most important woman in your life than a Mother's Day lunch aboard the Belmond British Pullman. From the moment you step onto the platform at London Victoria, the day belongs entirely to her. Liveried stewards welcome you to your immaculately restored Art Deco carriage, where gleaming brass fittings, inlaid marquetry panels and velour armchairs set the scene for a thoroughly special afternoon.
A four-course Sunday lunch is served as the English countryside glides past the window, accompanied by a glass of champagne and half a bottle of wine. The menu showcases seasonal British produce prepared in the Pullman's compact but accomplished kitchen, with unhurried service throughout. The train makes a circular journey departing from and returning to London Victoria, so the focus is entirely on the occasion, the food and the company.
Smart day wear is appropriate. You are asked not to wear jeans or trainers.
