The usual Saturday chores were banished on the 21st May by our enjoying Lunch on a Steam Train, travelling on the heritage railway from Loughborough to Leicester, and back again, through attractive countryside. Our meal was tomato and basil soup, followed by our pre-ordered choice of beef, Merlot and mushroom pie, or roast leg of lamb with date & herb stuffing and mint gravy, ending with lemon tart & cream, with tea or coffee and mints to follow. The wine list and
beers offered a good choice and we all managed to savour something to suit our palettes, knowing the coach would be waiting for us at 3.0pm to make the return trip back home to Market Rasen. It was quite quiet on the way back … something to do with the very good food and drink of which we had partaken in ample sufficiency, no doubt. Much better than slaving over a hot stove or sitting in a static restaurant folks! You missed a treat.
