We are pleased to offer another in our series of weekend breaks featuring steam hauled dining trains, on this occasion at the Kent and East Sussex Railway, a line which was for many years part of the Colonel Stephens light railway empire.

The journey begins as you board our vintage motor coach for a gentle ride through picturesque towns and villages, to the attractive wealden town of Tenterden, and our hotel, the White Lion.

Evening dinner is taken aboard one of the beautifully restored dining cars, resplendent with gleaming brass, fine marquetry panelling and ornate tableware, bathed in a romantic glow from your table lamp, as you glide through the Rother Valley. After our journey, you return to the nearby hotel.

On Sunday morning there is time for a leisurely breakfast, before commencing our homeward journey.

INCLUDED

Tour price is £215, which includes travel from the island, or Portsmouth, by vintage coach, travel and a six course dinner on the Wealden Pullman , overnight accommodation in twin or double room at the White Lion Hotel and breakfast.

There are limited places available for this special treat, which is ideal for a birthday or anniversary celebration, and early booking is therefore strongly advised. Deposit £50 per person please. The coach will depart from Ryde Esplanade, and Portsmouth Hard Interchange for mainland rail connections. Deposit £50 per person to confirm your booking please.
