What a fabulous time we had the whole experience the trip the staff were excellent the Greek dining meal was expertly presented and very nice would really recommend the whole experience could not fault it

The cake was lovely and even had a choice of coffee. Parked in the overspill carpark, but no sign to the station which made us on the last minute as we had a disabled person with us, had to ask someone where the station was, then walk up over the bridge. Also didn't know beforehand we had to collect the beverages from the ticket office. When we got on the train we couldn't find anywhere to sit together as couples were taking up all the seats of 4, so we had to sit in one of the larger enclosed areas at the back of the train with another couple, so none of us had a window seat. Also the train didn't complete the journey, as we were told it wouldn't make it up the hill. We were offered no compensation for this. Staff on the train were pleasant though and they came round with more beverages to buy, we had made sandwiches though as we didn't know.

We chose the lunchtime dining experience for our trip on the Churnet Valley Railway and had a really great day. The online booking process was straightforward and we were warmly greeted when we arrived. The dining car was beautifully laid out for lunch and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our three course lunch was delicious and unrushed. Overall, we had a wonderful time and felt we had celebrated my husband’s birthday in style.

Food delicious, staff friendly really enjoyed the Greek meal experience

We attended the Greek dining experience on 21/8/26, arrival and welcome great, steam train and dining carriages lovely, food ok, service top class, but why o why wasn’t it mentioned
to us that we had to share a table with
2 complete strangers, we sat opposite a couple where the man must of coughed
200 times during the evening, often not
covering his mouth, needless to say we didn’t eat much, what should of been a romantic dinner for 2 turned into what seems like a visit to A&E, it doesn’t mention anywhere that we had to share
a table, please guys tell the people before they book, all in all what should have been a nice evening turned into a bit of a nightmare

Went on the Greek Dining Train and had a fantastic time. Food was lovely, the staff were all attentive and welcoming. So lucky to still have these old carriages and steam engine to enjoy. Worth every penny for such a wonderful experience, highly recommend.

Brilliant.

Smooth checking in on arrival, great organisation, friendly staff. Service was quick. Food was delicious. Maybe a bit of Greek music playing on arrival would of added a bit to the atmosphere. We all loved the experience and for train buffs a perfect evening.....😍

Very friendly Volunteers.\n Food was great. Good value.\n Everybody was lovely. Thank you so much again. Really enjoyed it.

What a wonderful date night! From the moment we arrived to the moment we were seen off the train, the customer service was exceptional.

Being so close to a steam train was an epic experience. The sights, sounds and smells were incredible - the gentle music in the background, the chugging and rhythm of the engine, the hiss of the steam, the unmistakable smell of the coal and smoke, and of course the wonderfully dramatic chooo-ooo! of the horn. It was such a wonderfully immersive, nostalgic experience.

It felt intimate and romantic, and at one point we decided we must have been born in the wrong era! As we steadily travelled along the tracks, it genuinely felt like life had slowed down for a while - something we don’t get enough of nowadays.

The meal was absolutely delicious. My only criticism was that the black bean cakes were enormous - half the size would have been plenty!

The only thing that slightly let the experience down was the gift shop. We really wanted to buy something to remember the evening by, but the selection and presentation felt a little dated and uninspiring. I think there’s a real opportunity to make it much more appealing with unique railway and locally made items.

Overall, though, it was a fantastic and genuinely memorable evening. We absolutely loved it! When can we go again?

Really well organised, lovely pie and mash, lovely scenes. Would recommend for a birthday treat.

A really enjoyable evening journey on the railway, with an excellent Mexican meal served.The train carriages are very well maintained, with comfortable and roomy table seating. Our meal was served by a delightful group of young people, who went out of their way to make it a special event for us.Food was hot, tasty and good portion sizes.

All of it. Was fantastic

We thought the experience was a joy. A step back in time indeed. Staff were helpful and committed. The only small disappointment was the fact that our train couldn't make the incline close to the turn around...

The volunteers were very friendly, the food in the trio was delicious and the full train experience was delightful.

Absolutely brillant morning apart from not being able to go last 4 Miles as the engine was struggling to get up the hill, staff are amazing very pleasant and the food was good to

Lovely little cafe at Froghall station and staff friendly and got chan e to stand on the footplate and chat to the driver

Had a great time on the fish & chips train.

Collected fish and chips from the van before getting on train. Fish and chips were amazing!!

The train ride was great too and beautiful scenery, there was a lovely lady on the tea trolley who was very friendly and informative.

The only thing was we weren’t told we weren’t going on the circular route, so we assumed it had finished when we got back to froghall and started to get off, luckily someone else on the train said it was going back up and down again due to not being able to go on the circular route, I feel like this should have been mentioned when we collected the tickets, as a lot of people got off the train, and only had an hour journey instead of 2 which was what was paid for.

But we will be back soon as really enjoyed it.

Apart from the shortened journey it was a pleasant ride and a happy atmosphere
