GWR have just introduced a Pullman catering service on the 1045 down train from Paddington (and a corresponding up service) about a week ago - which as a significant pre birthtday treat (the big 60) |I sampled today on a new 800 class unit. (Electric to Didcot)
I cannot express how outstanding it was - £18 for starter (including fresh orange and / or Grapefruit juice) - a main platter of largely Welsh sausage / bacon / free range egg cooked to order / fried bread/ Welsh Black pudding / hot baked beans / button mushrooms and a nice touch - Glamorgan or veggie sausage - 2 pots of Cornish grown tea , and two runs of the best bread basket ever seen of white / granary Bloomer / plus a lovely touch of Bara Brith (currant loaf) and sublime Welsh cakes. Fresh butter . Impeccable service
One of my friends had poached eggs with Somerset Haddock - and he really enjoyed it - nice touch was the Steward changed the place settings for him , so he could eat it with the neccesary fish knife.
I really recommend this - a brilliant value added service for a very fair price. I hope it gets the well deserved following that the Pullmand dining gets on the West of England trains. Do , please support it
