Carriages Dine In Style
About
Step back into the glamorous era of Pullman‑style rail travel at Carriages of Cambridge, a charming venue nestled within the original Pullman carriages at Bannold's Capability Barns. The venue offers a quintessential British afternoon‑tea experience, complete with hand‑crafted sandwiches, fresh scones paired with Cornish clotted cream, and a selection of single‑estate teas or fine coffees. Every detail—from the Victorian‑era furnishings to the garden‑grown ingredients—conveys an authentic sense of place that captivates visitors of all ages. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a cosy family outing, or simply in search of a unique dining experience, Carriages delivers an atmosphere of romance and refined comfort amid historic rolling‑stock. The ladies and gentlemen of the team gladly welcome guests with on‑site privacy, and an optional private room is available for events or gatherings. Afternoon‑tea appointments are available from Tuesday to Saturday, with two sittings at 12:00 pm and 3:15 pm. If you wish to extend your stay, an optional high‑tea option is also offered. For those looking for a memorable dining experience or a venue for a celebration, booking in advance is recommended during busy periods. Feel free to explore the carriage “Louis”, “Oliver” and “Lancelot” and enjoy the quiet charm of a bygone epoch carried safely to the present day.
