YOUR CARRIAGE AWAITS
As our very own Brown Thomas Express car pulls up in store serving Afternoon Tea in The Restaurant in Dublin, we would like to bring you on a whistle-stop tour of the most unique carriages to dine in, across the world, this festive season…
THE PULLMAN CARRIAGE, GLENLO ABBEY, GALWAY
Inside the Carriage: Standing gracefully in the grounds of Glenlo Abbey Hotel in Clifden, the Pullman train carriage overlooks the old Clifden to Galway railway line, which passed through the estate until its removal in 1935. The Pullman has experienced a very varied life. Built in 1927, its routes included the Monaco/Istanbul/St. Petersburg runs, and also the Brighton run. In 1974, it played a starring role in the Agatha Christie film Murder on the Orient Express – that never-to-be-forgotten movie, directed by Sidney Lumet, and starring a host of greats, including Albert Finney, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, and Lauren Bacall.
What to expect: Converted into a wonderful restaurant car without losing any of its original character, the Pullman Restaurant allows you to step back in time and dine aboard the famous train. Book a private booth or sit by the window with spectacular views overlooking Lough Corrib and imagine yourself as a stylish hero or heroine in an Agatha Christie novel.
SUPPER ON THE TUBE, LONDON
Inside the Carriage: This is dining with a difference. Supper on the Tube is one of London's top 10 supper clubs, which takes place in the unique setting of a refurbished 1960s Victoria line carriage that's located in a North London museum.
What to expect: Enjoy a mouth-watering Colombian menu (by head chef Bea Maldonado Carreño), a warm atmosphere and unforgettable service.
CHRISTMAS LUNCH ON THE BELMOND BRITISH PULLMAN
Inside the Carriage: Dining on board the Belmond is a cause for celebration in itself. Why not have Christmas lunch on the Belmond British Pullman? We can't think of a more marvellous way to celebrate the season.
What to expect: Christmassy entertainment, champagne, holly-bedecked carriages and a delicious meal set the scene, while beautiful winter countryside passes you by – an unforgettable experience that would make an amazing gift.
