Totally obsessed with the Wes Anderson TikTok trend? Want to get involved yourself? Well, here’s some exciting news: you’ll soon be able to dine on board a real-life art deco train. And yep, it really does look like something from one of the director’s films.
The super bougie British Pullman train has just announced a series of pop-up moving dinners in collaboration with Dom Pérignon champagne, and we have to say, it sounds pretty darn delicious.
Oh, and the best part about it? You’ll be served up scran from some of the country’s most acclaimed female chefs, all while travelling from London through the rolling English countryside.
Four stellar culinary women have been chosen for the dining series, which encourages guests to dress up for the experience in black tie. On June 23, Lisa Goodwin-Allen will offer a tasting menu including wild garlic mushrooms with roast Orkney scallop, tomatoes and basil, and a main course of Lake District lamb with onions and whey. (Our mouths are quite literally dribbling.)
Anna Haugh, head chef and owner of Chelsea’s Myrtle Restaurant, will present a contemporary Irish fine-dining menu on July 14. On September 29, meanwhile, Angela Hartnett, the chef-patron of Michelin-starred Murano, will serve up an Italian-inspired feast.
Finally, on October 20, Michelin-starred Spanish chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, of Sabor, will offer a menu spotlighting different regions of Spain – so it’s safe to say there are plenty of cuisines to choose from. Each menu will be paired with both Dom Pérignon and a sommelier’s choice of wines, too.
The series opens on Friday June 23. Find out more here.
