Titan of the luxury train industry – and one of our favorite ways to see the United Kingdom – British Pullman, A Belmond Train, has announced its latest pop-up dining series, for which an all-female collection of the country’s finest chefs has been assembled.
This is the first time British Pullman, sister train to the famed Venice-Orient Express, has curated an exclusively all-female line up for its acclaimed dining series. It will also be run in collaboration with Dom Pérignon, with the legendary champagne maison contributing wines to be partnered with the chefs’ tasting menus. Running from June 23 to October 20, 2023, the chefs include Lisa Goodwin-Allen, Anna Haugh, Angela Hartnett OBE and Nieves Barragán Mohacho.
“We’re very proud to collaborate with legendary champagne maison Dom Pérignon and each of our incredible guest chefs on this year’s dinner series,” said Craig Moffat, general manager of British Pullman.

“Each of the chefs crafted a bespoke menu for the train, which celebrates their identity and heritage: perhaps Spanish delicacies by Nieves Barragan or contemporary Irish cuisine from Anna Haugh, all framed by the British Pullman’s art deco surroundings. Our train lends itself perfectly to glamorous nights of revelry and the team and I can’t wait to welcome the first diners in a few short weeks.”
The cuisine will range from various corners of Europe, from traditional English favorites to Spanish and Italian gastronomic delights.
