Lovely experience

We had this gift as a Christmas present It was such a lovely experience and very nostalgic, from the Steam Train ride and cream Tea at the Whistle Top Cafe, to the museum pieces around the station. We had a very enjoyable time.

CHRISTMAS GIFT

We had a lovely day on the East Somerset Railway with Cream Tea. We were on holiday in Bristol so it was ideal to come to the railway. Everyone was very friendly and we were astonished at the number of visitors, which happened to be a full Afternoon Tea on the train with 64 people. We collected our Cream Tea box after one trip on the railway, with everyone watching the engine cross over, it is amazing that so many people are happy to get involved in steam transport. We had our tea on the train with our coffee and tea cups, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The scones were delicious and we had to take one each home as we were full! We visited the shop, workshop and David Bellamy's paintings so filled the day really well.

GREAT DAY OUT

Very easy to convert our voucher for train tickets and a token to use for our Cream Tea whenever we wished. The train journey was short but you could travel more than once. The cream tea was very well organised in a bespoke box with TWO scones. Although not in the dining car we ate ours in our train seats.
