Trains - an update

Whilst the focus over the last month or so regarding Britain’s railways has been their actual operation and timekeeping London North Eastern Railway (LNER), probably the most aggressive operator in terms of marketing, has revealed its new First Class menu which celebrates specially sourced food and drink from local suppliers along the East Coast route.

As part of LNER’s customer experience, three complimentary menus, Dine, Dish or Deli, offer customers in First Class a wider choice. The menus vary depending on the time of day.

The dishes on Dine services include the ‘Full LNER’ or ‘Full Veggie LNER’ cooked breakfast freshly prepared by LNER’s onboard chefs. Roast chicken with roast potatoes and wilted greens served with sherry and shallot sauce and a creamy coconut sweet potato curry are among the choices later in the day, with sticky toffee pudding and salted caramel sauce to finish. The variety of vegan options available includes a delicious sweet potato pakora Bang Bang salad bowl, falafel, roasted pepper and humous sandwich and special vegan sausage roll.

Hot sandwiches, including vegan options, waffles, and a speciality salad bowl also feature on the Dine and Dish menus, along with a variety of hot and cold beverages. For customers enjoying the Deli offer, a range of sandwiches, snacks, biscuits and sweet treats are available as part of the complimentary catering offer in First Class. Customers in Standard can also sample a variety of produce through LNER’s at seat service ‘Let’s Eat At Your Seat’.
