A moveable feast of
fine dining and fun
Step on board and into another world –
of vintage razzmatazz and Art Deco
style. This unforgettable journey of
great entertainment and spectacular
English destinations centers on the
train’s original 1920s carriages
The British Pullman carriages of the
Venice Simplon-Orient-Express originally
ran on legendary 1920s services such as
The Brighton Belle and Golden Arrow.
Today, each one has been restored to its
former glory, giving you and your loved
ones the experience of a lifetime.
From the moment you leave London on the
British Pullman you are whisked away
into a world of pure indulgence.
Champagne flows and gourmet cuisine is
served as you take in the beauty of the
British countryside.
With destinations as such Glorious
Goodwood, Cowes Regatta, Chatsworth
House and experiences including
Valentine’s Day and The Dinner in
association with Laurent Perrier the
British Pullman really does offer you a
journey of true elegance. |

Dining on the
British Pullman
 The
dining experience is pure
indulgence, with innovated a la
carte dishes and excellent wines
served by your steward.
Each menu is lovingly conceived by
our chef Matthew Smith, using the
finest British ingredients. His
passion is fuelled by knowing he is
a part of making someone’s special
occasion extraordinary.
Each meal is accompanied by the
finest wines and champagnes,
expertly selected by our sommelier. |

Carriages
The British Pullman carriages were
described by their originator, George
Mortimer Pullman, as 'Palaces on
Wheels'. His description still holds
true.
The original 1920s and 30s carriages
have been painstakingly refurbished and
are again the most sumptuous railway
carriages in the world.
Each of the eleven carriages has its own
name, décor and history. Minerva, for
example has Edwardian-type marquetry,
Zena was used in the 1976 film 'Agatha',
while Perseus was reserved for Royalty,
visiting Heads of State and used in
Winston Churchill's funeral train in
1965.
The British Pullman can carry up to 226
passengers and the carriages seat
between 20 and 26 passengers in each. On
board passengers are seated in either
'coupé's' (small compartments seating up
to four people) or in the open car
mostly at tables for two. There is a
limited number of single tables and
tables for three in the open car. |
