Enjoy the winter landscape and good food? That’s possible on Sundays 8 and 22 February and Sunday 8 March 2026. During a train ride along the border of Groningen and Drenthe, a delicious Dutch mash pot is served. A unique opportunity to dine on a moving train!

Eating on the train used to be very common. Even in the Netherlands, domestic (express) trains had a restaurant car. Nowadays, you’ll only find this in a few international trains. But at Museumspoorlijn STAR, it is once again possible. On Sundays 2 and 16 February and 2 March we serve a tasty mash pot during a train ride on our railway line. Along the way, you can enjoy the winter landscape in the evening twilight in our illuminated and heated historic train. The journey lasts about an hour and a half. The train departs around 17:30 from Stadskanaal station.
