Give the Gift of a Dining with Distinction Experience at the East Lancashire Railway #Gifted
Now, buying gifts for Birthdays, Engagements, weddings and other celebrations can be challenging at times, but now it is that time of the year where it goes next level and we all frantically dash around trying to find our friends, family and loved ones the most gorgeous gifts.
Well, East Lancashire Railway have you covered for all your gifting needs 365 days of the year, as they offer the most exquisite and exciting dining with Distinction Railway Experiences.
East Lancashire Railway, located at the Bolton Street Station stop in Bury centre, is all about keeping Britain’s railway heritage alive and steaming.
An amazing organisation run by their incredible volunteers who have a genuine and authentic passion, dedication, and love for all things Railway.
Give the Gift of a Dining with Distinction Experience at the East Lancashire Railway where your lucky gift recipient can immerse themselves in the traditional age of steam and learn all about our historical industrial heritage.
From the moment of arrival, your lucky guest will experience all the bells and whistles the East Lancashire Railway team are all superstars and will pull out all the stops.
Now, I think that was the whistle blown, so it is just a case of which dining experience to choose from, here are a few of my top pick dining experiences.
Feel that opulence and VIP vibes on a rather royal Red Rose Dinner service, where they literally roll out the red carpet, on board you can enjoy the beautifully restored pullman style carriages that will take you steaming through the idyllic Irwell Valley countryside.
Enjoy a sensational sparkling welcome with a glass of fizz to begin before moving onto a sumptuous and superb four course silver service dinner offering, where your personal waiter/waitress will provide the very best in food and service, as you soak up the atmosphere lounging back in luxurious upholstered seating and crisp white linen table detail.
Red Rose delicious dinners at the East Lancashire Railway are truly an opulent dining with distinction experience not to be missed and makes a perfect gift year-round that creates lasting memories that will be talked about for years to come.
Indulge in an iconic British tradition and why not opt for an amazing Afternoon tea with a sparkling welcome, a glass of fizz anyone?
A three-tier tray display awaits with fabulous, filled finger sandwiches along with some scrummy homemade scones with clotted cream and jam of course and a patisserie plate with all things super sweet and yummy.
A nice little touch was the brilliant birthday banner and illustrated card provided for my celebrations – just loveliness. For an additional fee, you can also add on additional extras such as flowers, chocolates and champagne, so celebratory.
Gift a slice of festive fabulousness and enjoy a lovely traditional Christmas lunch aboard a beautiful pullman style carriage which I am sure will get the Christmas seasonal energy going full steam ahead.
Get your Pinky finger at the ready, as to start it’s a glass of bubbles, then a three-course silver service meal with coffee and an after dinner chocolate too. Ooo and of course there are Christmas crackers to add the festive mood.
Traditional trimmings all round, joyful times and a journey not to missed for sure! Your gifties will think Christmas has come early with such a unique and exciting gift experience.
Love to lunch well this is the experience for you, a midweek lunch dining distinction experience on the East Lancashire Railway.
All aboard for a delicious two course meal followed by coffee/tea and an after-dinner chocolate, as you take a journey through the lovely countryside scenes.
You will we well looked after by your waiter/waitress in a pretty pullman style carriage, it is a lovely gift that anyone would love to receive.
There are also other dining experiences such as the Murder Mystery, Premium nights, Sunday lunch, comedy nights, Christmas dinner, Wine and gin tasting experiences, so there is so much gifting choice and something to suit everyone.
Give the Gift of a Dining with Distinction Experience at the East Lancashire Railway and you will be gifting memories that provide smiles and happiness for many years to come.
