What an authentic experience! We booked the Lancastrian Lunch for our family of 4 for my Dad’s 80th birthday. The 3 hour trip just flew by in the most memorable way! From arriving and being shown to our First class seats (they are all 1st class by the way) , a glass of fizz already on the table, a substantial 3 course meal with friendly and attentive staff, to the gentle ride through the lovely Bury/Ramsbottom countryside, it was all perfect! My Dad was allowed up into the engine to see the stoking and have a chat with the driver. This was actually the highlight for him, so a huge thanks for that!

I want to highly recommend the 'dining with Distinction' company, had a lovely meal on the East Lancashire railway steam trip from bury. I am a coeliac and need gluten free food I really worry about events like this but I had to risk it as it was special birthday treat for my dad. They gave me a sticker on my seat and each meal brought to me separately, nothing served from the shared trays! Really good quality food too. I got a Yorkshire pudding! Nicest one I've had out. Bread roll was delicious soft and didn't collapse when I buttered it. Food excellent quality fresh, hot and tasty. Brownie as usual but extremely tasty. Again nicest one I've had out. I'd taken back up sandwich and snacks and didn't need anything! Staff were very clued up and carefull. They do loads of dining events on this line and I'd definitely recommend going if you're a steam fan, or just after something different, beautiful views lovely people.

Myself and the GLW thoroughly enjoyed the Wine Tasting dinner evening on board the steam-pulled train (with engine Hunslet Work No. 2890 for those interested). The four-course meal was high restaurant quality, with the superb wine pairings selected, served and presented by Kwoff (Silver Street, Bury). The staff serving were polite, professional and welcomingly efficient. A wonderfully relaxing and massively agreeable way to spend a Friday evening.

Great dining experience on the East Lancashire Railway steam train 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 We boarded at 19:30 and deboarded at 10:20. The steam train was in motion up and down the line for a good portion of our time on it. Great waiter's and waitresses along with a bar waiter. The food was really good and after 4 courses I was stuffed 🧸 Really pleasant experience and I'd love to do it again. Thanks for hosting us 🤩💪

I booked the Lancastrian Lunch to celebrate my 50th Birthday with my Family. 1st Class service in a Heritage 1st class dining coach, hauled by. Steam loco, my family were very impressed overall, particularly the quality of the 3 course meal. The staff even gave me and another party rendition of “Happy Birthday” and served my desert with a lit candle. Very impressed. Recommend booking at least 2 months prior as it was fully booked

Excellent outing. Better than we thought it would be We were greeted on the station platform by a lovely lady dressed in a very smart red uniform who offered to take our photographs with the steam enine in the back ground We were shown to our table in a very clean and tidy carriage. The carriage was impressive as was the carriage steward who was good company all the trip and served drinks with a happy attitude. We had a 4 course meal served on hot plates and we could not find fault with any part of the meal And good outing and we will go again

This was a comedy themed night based on Allo Allo. It was good fun, everyone joined in, some in themed fancy dress. The setting was beautiful in the restored carriages and whilst it was dark outside and we couldn’t enjoy the scenery, the setting, lighting and comfort more than made up for it. A thoroughly enjoyable meal with silver service from lovely, competent staff. The only downside was a poor quality glass of fizz, very sweet, but a very minor complaint. All in all a lovely evening and we’ll be back.

Lovely evening out. We have done this experience before quite a few years ago and didn’t disappoint for our 2nd time.. The train was amazing. Attention to detail on our table was tip top and our servers were great and very polite.. The food was excellent quality and piping hot which was amazing.. We took a bottle of wine with us and paid the corkage fee of £8.50, which was great as we are a little fussy with wine and we like what we like. Really enjoyed the experience again and would highly recommend.

I think the ELR is fantastic, and I wish it continuing success, however the Dining with Distinction catering isn’t consistent. I’ve had two really nice meals in the past year, but the food on my recent visit was very average for the price you pay. The majority of the staff are pleasant, however it does take rather a long time for the main course to be served as every item was served separately. It might be better if there’s the space in the galley/kitchen on board to just plate up the main courses and serve them to passengers.

We celebrated our first anniversary on board the East Lancashire Railway and enjoyed the Red Rose Dinner service. Everyone's food arrived simultaneously which left no room for complaints and the food was exceptional. What struck me was the considerable size of the portions we received which was beyond what we had expected for a four-course dinner. Our waiter Valem (?) was animated, entertaining and generous, and he was a huge part of the experience. All the staff were attentive and cheerful, and it was clear that they enjoyed working at the venue. Overall, an experience to remember.

Great cafe in heart of Prestwich village. Been coming for a number of years now and spot on every time. Food delicious and good value. We had cooked breakfast which was delicious.

We had a nice breakfast there. The atmosphere was lovely and cosy and the lady serving was very welcoming. Lovely vegetarian black pudding. Will definitely go there again

We go on a regular basis and the staff are awesome, Jo & Dave who own/run the place are just great and they can cater for all needs. You have to visit to feel the great atmosphere. They also have acts on occasionally (hand picked) and make a great night even better. 5* from us
