Indulge in bottomless Prosecco and an array of hand-crafted savoury and sweet delights, served aboard the rare Devon Belle Pullman Observation Car. Sit back, relax, and savour the elegance of a bygone era as you journey through the Purbeck countryside in vintage style.

 

A Journey Like No Other

Step aboard the Devon Belle and settle into your luxurious Pullman seat as the steam locomotive glides through the rolling Purbeck hills.

Your personal steward will serve a glass of Prosecco or sparkling elderflower, accompanied by a hand-crafted afternoon tea menu, freshly prepared for your journey - all served at your seat, allowing you to relax and enjoy panoramic views of the Dorset countryside and the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle through the carriage’s wide observation windows.

On your return to Swanage, enjoy five and a half miles of unrivalled scenery while tea and freshly brewed coffee are served at your seat, rounding off your journey with a comforting warm beverage.

Afternoon Tea Menu (served at your seat)

  • A selection of delicate savoury sandwiches
  • A range of miniature sweet treats and patisserie
  • Freshly brewed tea or coffee on the return journey

Prosecco or elderflower remains bottomless throughout the experience, perfectly complementing the savoury and sweet offerings.

Sip, savour, and celebrate in style as the bubbles keep flowing and the countryside drifts by.
