LNER introduces new First Class Autumn menus for business travellers, featuring locally sourced dishes

LNER has unveiled its new First Class menus for Autumn, offering UK-based business travellers a selection of warm, hearty dishes, crafted by local food and drink suppliers along its route.

Business travellers heading to meetings or conferences aboard LNER’s First Class can enjoy complimentary meals across a variety of services, including Dine, Dish, Deli and Brunch, ensuring a satisfying culinary experience throughout the day.

The new menus include chef-prepared favourites like ‘Frittata with posh baked beans’ for breakfast, and for later in the day, hearty meals such as ‘Toulouse sausage and mash’ or ‘lamb rogan josh with mini naan bread’.

For vegetarians, there are options like the ‘pearl barley mushroom risotto’, and a variety of vegan choices, including a Bombay potato salad or Coronation chickpea wrap.

These new offerings highlight LNER’s commitment to supporting local suppliers, sourcing ingredients from award-winning producers along the train route from London to the Scottish Highlands.
