THE QUANTOCK BELLE DINING TRAIN
  • West Somerset Railway,
    The Railway Station,
    Minehead Somerset,
    TA24 5BG
The service operates on the scenic West Somerset Railway between Bishops Lydeard (near Taunton) and Minehead, recreating that wonderful, nostalgic atmosphere of the great days of steam. Our diners enjoy good food and excellent company as the train winds its way through the beautiful Quantock Hills, past the ancient port of Watchet and along the coast to Blue Anchor Bay and through to its conclusion at Minehead. Whatever the occasion may be – a special anniversary or birthday celebration, a cosy dinner for two, or a Sunday lunch out – we are sure you will find dining on the Quantock Belle a delightful and memorable experience. This year we will be joined by Chef Sam le Roux.

The Quantock Belle operates on a number of dates and is extremely popular.  Advance booking is therefore mandatory.  Your fare includes:

  • Return travel at your reserved dining table;
  • A three-course meal with tea or coffee served during the journey;
  • Value Added Tax, as applicable.

A comprehensive bar service, including a varied wine list and soft drinks, is provided to your table by our attentive liveried stewards throughout the day and charged towards the end of your return journey.

A vegetarian option (homemade gluten and dairy-free) is available as an alternative to all advertised menus but must be notified at time of booking. If you have dietary requirements please let us know on 01643 704996.

Dessert is served on the return j0urney to Bishops Lydeard, and accompany by a continuous tea and coffee service. 

For our afternoon services once you have arrived in Minehead you will then have an hour to explore the seaside town before your return service departs. 

Quantock Belle Evening service will run for selected dates in 2024. Menus to be confirmed. 

We are confident you will have a wonderful and memorable day out with us and we look forward to seeing you on "the QB" soon.

Tickets are sold as individual tickets or a guaranteed table for two (price includes a £15 supplement to guarantee your table) . If you book four tickets, you will be seated together but please note if you purchase less than four that you may be seated with another party unless you purchase the guaranteed table for two option.

Please be aware due to the heritage nature of the stock, we are unable to accommodate mobility scooters and wheelchairs on these services. If you have any accessible requirements, please do give us a call on 01643 704 996. 

We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your departure time, this is to ensure you have plenty of time to get seated and settled before your train departs.
