As well as Luxury Pullman Dining we are pleased to offer a range of everyday catering options either served onboard your train or from the Station Refreshment Rooms menu. This building was formerly the Maidstone & District Motor Services waiting room at Palace Avenue, Maidstone - built in 1922 as Britain's first bus station. Today you can enjoy anything from an ice cream to a cooked lunch with desert seated inside the quaint 36-seater restaurant or al fresco in the dappled shade beneath surrounding trees. The children's play area is adjacent to the Refreshment Rooms and offers shaded picnic tables.

The 2008 train service affords on-board catering on three of the five daily trips leaving Tenterden at 10:40, 1:15, 3:30 and from Bodiam at 11:40, 2:15 & 4:30. You may depart from either station and opt to have your meal either during a single (50 minutes) or return (1¾ hrs) journey.

The on-board Catering Steward will ensure that your booked seats are reserved and that your table is prepared appropriately.

We aim to provide a trolley service on the departures detailed above for the sale of light refreshments.
