Refreshments in different surroundings

Tea on the Train
@ The Bellingham Belle

Our Mark 3 HST railway carriage makes for a different setting, first lass comfort and warmth. The carriage never ran on this line. In fact, it used to run the East Midlands main line routes and previously as the Grand Central between Sunderland and King's Cross.

November to March 10:30-15:30 except Christmas closures AND April to October 10:00-16:00

Home baking

Tea on the Train

Most of our cakes and scones are home made as are our soups. We use local produce and suppliers wherever possible supporting the rural communities around us.

We are open every day 10:00 to 16:00.
