The Derbyshire Countryman offers a range of dining experiences and special events.
Whether it’s a Sunday roast or a luxury afternoon tea, you will be served at your seat or in your own compartment in one of our restored carriages, as you watch the beautiful countryside roll by.
The increasingly popular Derbyshire Countryman is underpinned by delicious food prepared, wherever possible, with locally-sourced, seasonal produce.
Sunday Countryman
Watch the countryside slip gently by as you enjoy a delicious three-course meal.
Starting with soup and a bread roll, followed by roast topside of Derbyshire beef, with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and gravy; the finale is cheesecake, served with fresh cream.
Luxury Afternoon Tea
Set in a traditional vintage coach, our Classic Countryman Afternoon Tea is an indulgent experience.
Enjoy freshly made sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and selection of cakes and pastries, served with Taylor’s of Harrogate’s fine teas and coffee.
The Countryman’s Lunch
Our friendly team will welcome you on board our heritage steam train and will offer you a complimentary bottle of beer, cider or soft drink.
You will then be taken to your seats, where you can relax and enjoy a delicious two-course Ploughman’s lunch, followed by tea or coffee.
Cream Tea Countryman
Join us on board our beautifully restored heritage carriages for a traditional British cream tea.
Enjoy a freshly baked scone, served with jam and clotted cream, and a slice of a locally baked cake, served with lashings of tea or coffee.
