Christmas Lunch

2026 dates not announced yet. Details are from 2025.

Guests are welcomed aboard across a red carpet with Champagne, canapés, and caviar blinis before settling into vintage Pullman-style armchairs. The journey meanders through the wintry countryside while diners pull Christmas crackers and enjoy a seven-course seasonal feast served with wine, an award-winning British cheeseboard, and port. Strolling musicians perform festive tunes throughout the trip, which concludes with Fortnum & Mason tea, Northern Belle coffee, and petits fours.
