From the moment liveried stewards welcome you to your immaculately appointed carriage, the adventure begins. Stepping aboard the British Pullman is like stepping back in time, every detail, from regal carpets, woven brass luggage racks and mahogany glass-panelled doors to silken lampshades and velour tapestry armchairs, transports you to a more gracious age.

In the care of your steward, as time passes unnoticed, enjoy a delicious five-course lunch, unruffled and unhurried. A glass of champagne rounds off your meal before the train returns to London Victoria. Guests do not disembark during this circular journey.

Also available as a steam-hauled departure, see our Steam Hauled Excursions page for details.

Smart day wear is appropriate. This is one time in your life when you are free to look fabulous, dressing down is just not our style. Please do not wear jeans or trainers.

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.
