Travelling from Inverness to Nottingham today/last night. Had bacon roll and tea at 7 this morning from Caledonian Sleeper and it was very nice, proper roll , nice thick cut bacon and the tea was very refreshing.
I'm now on the 1015 East Midlands Trains HST from St Pancras to Nottingham and fancying more chanced another of the same.
What a deplorable contrast, was informed by the buffet car attendant that it was a bacon roll - it wasn't, it was a ciabatta sub with stringy, wafer thin bacon with no taste and served still in the plastic wrapper it was frozen in! And it was more expensive!
Haven't tried the tea yet, shouldn't think it'll measure up to the CS offering of Brodie's!
It got me wondering what people consider the worst snack catering on the rails. For me at the moment it is EMT, but are there worse??
