The Settle-Carlisle Railway Development Company operates the award-winning refreshment trolley service on most train services travelling between Settle-Carlisle and Carlisle-Settle.
Focusing on locally produced food, we offer a range of cakes and biscuits made by Country Fare in Mallerstang. Country Fare is based at a farm within sight of the line between Kirkby Stephen and Garsdale. Why not try one of their award-winning ginger biscuits, flapjacks or speciality shortbreads? Forget the calories, sit back and enjoy!
Ale produced locally by Eden Brewery (based in Penrith) is available from the trolleys on the trains. The new range features canned Wyvern Blonde .
Unique to the Settle-Carlisle Railway, you will also be able to enjoy a locally made ice cream. With a variety of flavours available, why not indulge yourself with a delicious treat?
We serve a wide range of hot and cold drinks including filter coffee, tea, hot chocolate, latte, water, fruit juice and a selection of confectionery, crisps and much more.
We are conscious that hot drinks are served in single-use cups on the trains. Unfortunately, there are no facilities on board for washing cups and mugs. To help reduce the number of paper cups used, you can buy a reusable travel mug from the trolley team. When you buy a travel mug, you will receive a voucher for a free tea or coffee.
We also stock a range of Settle-Carlisle Railway merchandise on the trolley including hessian bags for life, playing cards, and stationary as well as a great guide book to compliment your journey on the line. Browse our online shop to view a selection of goods available.
