Churnet Valley Railway (1992) PLC Avis 

The staff were very helpful and cheerful, the trip was well organised, but I did ask in the cafe if they did gluten free bread to have a few slices of toast they said they had the bread but could make the toast but didn't give an explanation as to why.

Lovely staff/volunteers! Great experience! Great quality Coffee and Cake! Loved it!

Lovely breakfast great staff. Really enjoyed it

Brilliant day, despite changes to timetable. Lovely oatcake lunch. Very friendly and knowledgeable volunteer staff. Look forward to visiting again.

Had a lovely time with our dad's for a father's day treat. Unfortunately journey was amended due to risk of fire which is understandable but so happy to see the steam train rather than a diesel.
It may be a little better if tables were allocated with your name on. Really enjoyed it though. Well organised overall.

Bombay Express.
From the moment we parked the car we were pleased with the look and feel of the railway, beautiful old fashioned station which added to the atmosphere of our trip, felt like we had travelled back in time.
The sun was out and the seats outside the cafe were an added bonus as we were a little early, so we sat outside and had a pre journey drink in the glorious sunshine.
Extremely impressed with the set up of the carriages, old and authentic with the tables expertly laid.
Beautiful comfy seating with plenty of space.
All staff were smartly dressed, most impressed with the station master, he looked superb in his old fashioned uniform and it really set the mood when the engine driver was tooting along the tracks.
The food was top quality with the courses spaced out well and adequately timed. The staff were very attentive, with nothing being too much trouble. They were professional, polite and smiley 😊
I will definitely be using this Gem of a place again.

Greek Evening.
This was a magical evening - being in a lovely train carriage, eating excellent Greek style food whilst being driven by a steam engine in full steam.
Perfect

Highly recommend a visit to the Railway. So organised and lovely staff and volunteers. Excellent food too.

Lovely Indian dining experience for my mum and her partner, even though due to fire risk the journey was altered it didn't take away the enjoyment.

Excellent evening, staff made us feel special and food was delicious. Couldn't fault it.

What a fantastic day out!

Well done to all the volunteers who must work so hard to maintain and keep our history alive.

Booking, service and staff all exceptional

Really enjoyable evening good value for money.

I’ve been coming to this amazing little festival for few years now such a great laugh bring all your friends and just be yourself can’t go wrong amazing beer on amazing food and amazing entertainment to

All good couldn’t fault the evening at all, as usual . Excellent value for money and all staff cheery and helpful. Well done everyone. Looking forward to the Balti Express on 19-Sept another good evening out!

Enjoyed the experience but had noises kids in our carriage which spoilt it a bit. Perhaps seats/carriages could be Allocated based on families, dogs or couples?

We made a mistake and arrived at the wrong station after putting the post code in from the bottom of our reciept . The staff were fantastic they made sure we didnt miss out on our sausage barn and cup of tea.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and are looking to return.

Well organised good communications prior to visit. Great value for the money

I can't praise the experience enough despite the initial disappointment of the change in the route due to extreme weather conditions.We were a party of 36 having various food options.Both the food and efficient distribution were excellent and the staff were very helpful getting people on and off the train,when needed.Overall it was a brilliantly successful and enjoyable day out.I can fully recommend the experience.
