That is small. When I had the same dish recently it was quite a lot more than that one.

They were quite good on that service, I was only on from Newcastle to Edinburgh and actually was given three!Well done on the two cans of cider !!!
Had the beef and Yorkshire pudding on today's 1300 EDB-KGX. It was pretty poor, the gravy was nice and the Yorkie was passable but the beef was tasteless, overcooked and one of the larger pieces consisted entirely of gristle.
The red wine is OK, the date and ginger slice is tasty and the crew are lovely so that's all good. Good first impression of the Azuma as well, rides much better than mk3s and 4s.
No! I did find a tiny sliver of onion but that was it other than the potatoes. Some carrots through the stew would have been nice.T
They don’t believe in vegetables do they?
I thought I saw mushrooms? But I'm inclined to agree generally.No! I did find a tiny sliver of onion but that was it other than the potatoes. Some carrots through the stew would have been nice.
Well spotted. Clearly they were as forgettable as the rest of my lunchI thought I saw mushrooms? But I'm inclined to agree generally.

Why is the shop selection so rubbish?
I'd like to be able to buy some Walkers or McCoy's chrisps in place of the sub standard stuff the sell.
Also none of the items on the drinks trolley can be bought in the shop either. This has been the same since Virgin took over.
Have they got a different brand of Whisky in the shop then ?
I don't think it's a matter of policy that you can't get the things on the trolley from the counter. It's more that they aren't holding a massive amount of stock of anything, and some of the staff send the whole stock out on the trolley. On the whole I'd say this happens less often since Virgin went (or possibly just before that when they hit rock bottom with First Class catering and realised they needed to do something about the on-board service)Why is the shop selection so rubbish?

Oh right, sorry, I was thinking of the standard trolley. That overrated hop on board beer is available in First and the buffet isn't it?I've been told by many of the stewards (soon as VTEC took over) that it was. East Coast never had an issue selling you what was on the FC trolly.

This evening's treacle tart seemed quite sweet and sickly.
I've had a number from LNER and none have been like that.That was normally the point of a treacle tart?
Anyone asked for seconds on LNER ?That is small. When I had the same dish recently it was quite a lot more than that one. View attachment 70494
I did once. They thrashed me and then sold me as an apprentice to an undertaker.Anyone asked for seconds on LNER ?
