The new series of pop-up evenings aboard luxury trains in the UK hosted by an array of award-winning celebrity chefs is announced for 2015. The Belmond British Pullman and the Belmond Northern Belle luxurious art deco carriages are transformed this year into Michelin-grade fine dining restaurants. A group of top UK chefs that includes Raymond Blanc, Tom Kerridge and Anton Mosimann will prepare luxurious dinners exclusively for just 100 guests and each evening promises to be a theatrical culinary experience.
Tom Kerridge, Chef Patron of the UK’s only two Michelin starred public house, The Hand & Flowers, is set to re-create the pub experience on board Belmond British Pullman- becoming ‘train publicans’ for the night. He and his team will host the dinner on 12th July 2015.
Raymond Blanc, OBE, is to return with his team, from the critically acclaimed Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire, to Belmond Northern Belle’s Galley Kitchen as the train departs from York for dinner on 6th November 2015.
The host of BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen, James Martin boards both trains this year. He will showcase dishes from his career spanning over 20 years at the first ‘pop-up’ event on board Belmond British Pullman, London on 12th March, before hosting a traditional Sunday Lunch on Belmond Northern Belle on 31st May 2015. James’ show is a platform for many well-known and up and coming chefs, and a regular slot for many of the names coming aboard this year.
And Anton Mosimann will showcase his culinary philosophy “Cuisine Naturelle” that uses fresh ingredients, devoid of oils, fats and salt, on an epicurean journey that leaves London Victoria.
Events start at €470 a person.
