Ploughmans Lunch

Over the centuries, bread and cheese have formed the basis of a working-class lunch, and here we have our Yorkshire twist on what has become a traditional and well-loved meal.

Including a mix of meat, cheese, pie, and some fresh fruit and veg, this is perfect for those who like a good, filling lunch!!

Your ticket includes unlimited travel on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway for the day and a slot on our steam-hauled dining train to enjoy lunch.

You can find more information about getting the railway in the dedicated travel section.

Due to the age and delicate nature of the carriages used in Afternoon Tea services, dogs are not permitted to board.

We recognise that these dogs provide valuable assistance for the sight-impaired and those with hearing loss, epilepsy, diabetes, physical mobility problems and more. Assistance Dogs are welcome on ALL KWVR trains, for which no charge is made.

Our historic railway carriages are primarily restored to reflect their original construction; therefore, access is a step up from the platform and down to alight to board the train. This means that the Dining Train carriages are unable to accommodate wheelchair passengers. We can provide a small ramp to aid with limited mobility, but all passengers will be required to walk to their seats along the narrow walkway.

We are unable to offer any dietary options other than those listed, which include Vegan, Vegetarian, or Gluten-Free menus. While we provide a Gluten-Free menu, we are unable to care for any other kind of food intolerance.
