Corbridge's other USP is that its restaurant is served by trains. At least according to perception - there's the Curry Train from Newcastle Central which takes the punters direct to the restaurant, and returns them at the end of the evening.

It had favourable reports on this recent thread:That sounds fun! There should be more unofficial tie ins like this!

As has been mentioned previously on the forum: “Our trained, smartly dressed staff will greet you at the station, at 5.30pm under the clock. They will welcome you and your guests and escort you by train to The Valley at Corbridge. The orders are taken on the train from our full à la Carte menu and will be ready on your arrival. Drinks are served on the train”.
