Vintage Trains On-board Service

[Masbroughlad]

Do Vintage trains employ their own on-board catering team, or do they use a third party?

Thanks in advance.

They certainly used to use a third party catering team. My experience was that they were, shall we say, 'disorganised' when I did dining trips with them. On one they actually forgot to serve our breakfast and it took repeated prompting until it actually appeared, after a bit of a mad panic in the kitchen.

However, I believe they have recently changed suppliers and I have no experience of the new one, having only done tours in Standard since. I'd be interested to hear if it's improved.

In March this year, the catering on our trip was run by Paisley Flour Catering, from Stourport on Severn.

I don't recall many issues, but much preferred the in-house catering they did pre 2020.
