Train fanatics, this one’s for you. This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and as a celebration the company is bringing a swanky pop-up restaurant to its old headquarters.
The ‘LNER 1923 Restaurant’ will arrive at The Cookery School at the five-star Grand York Hotel in York on Monday, November 6 and Tuesday, November 7.
The idea is that guests will travel through time via their taste buds, with each course representing a different century. The starter looks back to the past, the main celebrates the present and dessert is a glimpse into the future.
Expect confit chicken, slow cooked sole, dishes from the actual 1920s LNER menu and, most intriguing of all, mushroom panna cotta, spirulina ‘moss’ with a rhubarb, pear and ginger gel cover, finished with amaranth micro blossom.
And the time travel doesn’t stop with the food. Apparently there will be a roaring ’20s soundtrack and other touches ‘designed to stimulate the senses and take diners back to a decade filled with post-war optimism, prosperity and glitzy glamour’.
The event is completely free but organisers ask that guests bring along a stash of non-perishable foods to ‘pay’ for their meal with donations to York Foodbank. So, we guess all that’s left is to sign up for the event here and get your glad rags on!
