Carriages Bar And Restaurant

Spotted this little gem, while travelling to the nearby reservoir. Little unsure about the quirky train carriage built inside to give the feeling of fine dining aboard something like the Orient Express, but it’s good fun, and probably helps attract more people than an ordinary pub would, so 10/10 for ingenuity, but I’m not sure it’s completely necessary as the star of the show was definitely the food. I had the sea food chowder, which came with garlic bread and fries, and it was spot on delish. Sea food bang on cooked, good thick creamy sauce, seasoned to perfection. Garlic bread was light and crunchy and not too heavy on the garlic. Fries were fresh, not frozen, always good to see, crisp with skin on and light and fluffy inside. My partners pie was good and tasty, although she is not a fan of courgette, and their was quite a bit on the plate, in fact, I think it was the whole courgette. Her sisters lasagne was great although it kept getting compared to a previous lasagne which was swimming in an orange sauce. Malteser’s cheese cake for dessert was just divine, to finish the night off.

We were in for a real treat and a fantastic surprise 😁 when we booked a meal without knowing anything about this place. We were taken back once we entered to find an actual train carriage inside the pub, I know the name kind of gives you a clue but WOW. Definitely would recommend this fine establishment for a romantic evening with a loved one or a family gathering 😉👏❤️
