Hey all. Potentially booking a journey to Austria in the autumn in the next few weeks, departing st. Pancras mid-afternoon by Eurostar to Brussels with the the just over 1 hour connection at Brussels on to nightjet.
As the night jet does not convey a restaurant and I am unable to read the the PDF menu for the room service menu which is in German and presents all manner of challenges at the best of times let alone if using a screen reader I'm wondering whether I can take a pre-packed salad meal with me to eat either on Eurostar or nightjet through customs in London or whether I should upgrade to a class of travel on Eurostar that includes a meal in the 2 hours or so that it will take me to travel from London to Brussels
When I did this journey the other way around back in January 2020 it was less of a concern. I had already died in Vienna and whilst I did make use of the on-board bar facilities on nightjet the main meal of concern was breakfast which of course is provided to all passengers except those travelling in a seat. I did use the buffet car on Eurostar and found the quality less than satisfactory and the price a little higher than I wanted it to be by hence my asking whether it's worth upgrading to something where food is included or where I could at least buy something a little better than a pre-packed sandwich or if as I say I should simply take my own meal and eat it when I want. Thanks in advance for any help
