点评:We had booked a Sunday afternoon tea on board the train. Obtaining confirmation of our group booking proved difficult; emails were not answered and no helpful phone number is displayed on the website. We began to think perhaps we had made a mistake.
On the day all was well however. We received a warm and friendly greeting from the railway's staff and were soon directed to our tables in a comfortable, restored, former North Eastern Railway director's saloon.
The food was excellent, plenty for an afternoon tea, and clearly much care and pride had been taken in both menu selection and presentation. Refills of tea and coffee were provided free of charge.
The industrial standard of the track on the Tanfield Railway made for some lively riding. The skill of the waitresses in pouring cups of tea and coffee without spilling a single drop was impressive! They were careful not to overfill the cups too. The service was excellent.
Recommended as a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
翻译:我们预订了火车上的周日下午茶。但团体预订确认却很困难;邮件无人回复,网站上也没有提供任何有用的电话号码。我们开始怀疑自己是不是搞错了。
不过,当天一切顺利。我们受到了铁路工作人员热情友好的欢迎,并很快被带到了一间舒适、经过修复的前东北铁路局长休息室的座位上。
食物非常美味,作为下午茶来说分量很足,而且菜单的选择和摆盘都经过精心设计,令人倍感自豪。茶和咖啡免费续杯。
坦菲尔德铁路的轨道达到了工业标准,这让旅途更加轻松愉快。女服务员倒茶和咖啡的技巧令人印象深刻,一滴也不洒!她们也非常小心,不会把杯子装得太满。服务非常出色。
强烈推荐,这是一种非常愉快的周日下午时光。
