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.

In the past six years Forever Jackson has headlined in resorts, festivals, theatres and hotels all over the world! Averaging at 150 shows annually, they are in high demand!

Robin Parsons pays true homage to the late great King Of Pop. Singing 100% live lead vocal, his voice replicates the distinctive tones of Jackson – you could be forgiven for believing he mimes!

His dancing mirrors the legend in every detail, step for step right down to the smallest of mannerisms and his look (created through a two and a half hour process using ONLY theatrical make-up) is the exact image of MJ!
