Magical Indian experience in Churnet!
The whole experience was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The trip was a birthday present for my wife as we both like train journeys and Indian food it was a perfect match and a unique combination.
The station itself like all the rolling stock very well maintained and together with ample free parking made a great first impression. The staff were lovely, obviously enthusiasts themselves it rubs off in the way they greet you and explain what will happen on the trip. I had a problem of my own making when buying the voucher, but the booking staff sorted it out within the hour, outstanding customer service.
The carriages were great, roomy comfortable and the tables spacious. The staff were always on hand to look after you without being pushy and the food was delicious. Fresh tasty and the portion size was good, the nan bread was amazing, none of that stodgy bread you get from a takeaway after it’s been in the bag too long!
The trip seemed to fly by, and we were very fortunate to have a lovely couple Louise and Paul to share our journey with. We all said that we would come back for the other trips that are on offer. In fact, there was a pie and mask at 18.30 on the day we were there. Very tempting but unfortunately it was fully booked.
Would highly recommend this trip and based on our experience their other train events as well.
