In 2013, the British Pullman and Northern Belle, sister trains to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, will be taking guests in style and comfort on a number of new exciting and interesting day trips across Great Britain, departing from a host of regional stations year-round.
Included in the varied programme, which offers something for all members of the family, is one of special interest for foody travellers – a day out to Le Manoir aux Quat’Saison, Oxfordshire. Wander through the hotel’s world famous gardens before sitting down to a decadent two-course lunch prepared by Raymond Blanc’s team of expert chefs, departures available aboard the British Pullman from London Victoria on 20 March or 18 September and from Crewe, Stafford and Birmingham aboard the Northern Belle on 28 November.
