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.
First Class passengers travelling on any service can also look forward to roast pulled chicken brioche rolls, vegan-friendly wraps and desserts such as a salted caramel pot or fresh fruit.
Richard Judge, Head of Customer Experience at LNER, expressed his enthusiasm about the new launch:
Just as the seasons are changing, we’re delighted to launch our new onboard menus featuring hearty comfort dishes with warming flavours. As always, we’re extremely proud that our menus showcase some of the brilliant, award-winning local suppliers we have across the route and in doing so continue to benefit the communities that we serve.
For UK-based business travellers, these new menu options offer the perfect opportunity to combine comfort with convenience during travel. Paul Baker, Sales Director at Global Travel Management, explained:
LNER’s new First Class menus bring a real touch of luxury to business travel. With delicious meals made from locally sourced ingredients, business travellers can now experience excellent food while travelling in comfort and style, making every journey more productive and enjoyable.
