In connection with the £30 First Class Return offer on EMR, I was wondering which EMR services have the best food?
The EMR first class offer is not very generous. Most food must be paid for, even in first. There may be a couple of southbound inter-city services that have breakfast but that's as good as it gets. Even a free glass of wine is restricted to certain weekday afternoon peak services out of London.In connection with the £30 First Class Return offer on EMR, I was wondering which EMR services have the best food?
The tuna sandwich at under £5 is good value IMHO
It isn't that long ago that (under EMT) you could get a cheeseburger with potato wedges for under a fiver. That was good value.
See the Special Offers thread - it's targeted by emailWhat is this £30 First Class return offer you speak of? Is it the weekend upgrade, or something entirely different?

I have always found EMT/EMR food in First on weekdays to be of decent quality for the price.
Yes. Standard class catering is outsourced while first class is dealt with internally and therefore consists of 2 completely separate menus and price lists. When the standard class catering hasn't turned up I have heard some TMs make it extremely clear that standard class passengers would not be permitted to purchase anything from the first class catering over the tannoy and I think I have witnessed a standard class passenger wanting to buy water refused during the EMT days.Is there actual first class specific food, that standard ticket holders aren't allowed to buy?
Didn't even know EMR offered such a service in First Class.
Having had an extremely grim bowl of pasta and meatballs on a trip a little while ago, I think the price is the only thing reasonable about the service.Indeed. The current EMR menu has less choice but is still reasonably priced.
