A Culinary Journey aboard the British Pullman in 2014

Announced for 2014, Executive Head Chef Robbie Gleeson hosts, along with a selection of award-winning chefs, a brand new series of pop-up evenings on the British Pullman.

Cuisine from all over the world and several household names will be coming to the vintage carriages from the 1920s to the sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

The pop-up dinners are restricted to 100 people aboard the British Pullman with a wide variety of food on offer; from top quality ‘pub food’ to ‘Cuisine Naturelle’ with a Royal seal of approval.

Executive Head Chef, Robbie Gleeson, has invited a selection of his favourite chefs to work with him in his kitchen to recreate their menus in the art-deco Pullman dining cars.

“Cooking aboard the British Pullman is not like anything a chef has ever done before - I’m really excited about collaborating with the all of the invited chefs and looking forward to working together with them to devise an unforgettable menu within the constraints of the train’s galley kitchen,” comments Robbie Gleeson, Executive Head Chef.
