Royal Forester Dining Car Service
|
|
|
The Royal Forester will be running on many weekends in 2009.
Join us for fine food and drinks as you leisurely travel over the DFR, hauled by one of the DFR fine GW steam locos. Further details are detailed below.
Booking is always essential, and is taken by telephone rather than impersonal on-line booking systems. This ensures we are able to fulfill your booking satisfactorily and allows us to concentrate our limited income on developing the Dean Forest Railway, as we are all unpaid volunteers providing a service for your enjoyment!
Call 01594 845840 between 11am and 4pm.

Sit back and relax in the comfort of our First Class Dining Car...
Your friendly Steward serves a three course meal as you leisurely travel along the Dean Forest Railway, hauled by one of the magnificent Great Western Steam Locomotives.
Enjoy the romantic atmosphere of first class dining on a steam train from a bygone age!
Time for an aperitif before the meal and a liqueur afterwards from the well stocked bar on board. Can there be a more civilised experience? And time perhaps to inspect the locomotive and take a photograph after the meal?
