Things ground to a halt with the outbreak of the Second World War: all British dining cars were taken out of service. Then, of course, there was the British Rail sandwich, the Winter of Discontent in edible form. Diners can still enjoy the luxuriousness of food on the move aboard the Belmond British Pullman. When all of this was going on, Belmond, the luxury hospitality company, had been securing unwanted dining cars and restoring them. Today, Belmond British Pullman runs services during which passengers enjoy menus dreamed up by chefs such as L’Enclume’s Simon Rogan.
