The Sidings Hotel is one of the more unusual event venues in the York area, combining hotel accommodation, restaurant facilities and private-event space within a collection of restored railway carriages. The property is situated on Station Lane in Shipton-by-Beningbrough, approximately six miles north of York, directly beside the East Coast Main Line. Its distinctive railway setting means guests can enjoy views of passing trains from the restaurant, garden and accommodation areas. The venue was established in 1985 by a former railway enthusiast and has developed around five authentic Pullman-style railway carriages. Parts of the carriages have been converted into individually themed guest rooms, while another carriage provides the principal dining experience. Railway memorabilia and historic railway features are displayed throughout the property, giving events a distinctive heritage atmosphere. The Sidings currently advertises private events for 10 to 100 guests, with flexible catering and event packages. It is suitable for weddings, private celebrations, family gatherings and corporate events. The restaurant and bar provide food and drinks, while the outdoor terrace and beer garden offer additional informal space. The hotel also provides complimentary Wi-Fi and substantial on-site parking. Accommodation is available in converted railway carriages, making the venue particularly suitable for smaller residential celebrations or events where guests want to stay on site.
The converted railway dining carriage is the signature event and dining space at The Sidings. It retains the character of an authentic Pullman-style carriage while providing restaurant seating and views of the East Coast Main Line. It is particularly suited to group dining, private celebrations, special occasions and railway-themed events.
The restaurant provides the main food and dining environment and can support group meals, private functions and celebrations. The venue offers flexible catering for events, allowing menus and arrangements to be adapted to requirements.
The outdoor terrace and beer garden provide additional informal space overlooking the railway line. They are suitable for drinks, casual gatherings and outdoor breaks, particularly during warmer weather. The terrace benefits from the distinctive experience of watching trains pass nearby.
