Firstly, sorry that this thread will clash with previous ones as I’ve read bits of this elsewhere but wonder if I can have a dedicated answer all in one place... if this exists elsewhere then by all means point me in that direction!
I’m planning a 1st class ALR for spring or summer next year. I’m usually interested in chasing units/shacks but for the ALR I’m more interested in travelling in style and enjoying the passing scenery. I’m aware that most of the 1st Class offerings either have no complementary food or just snacks, but wondered if people could help me compile a list of which TOCs / routes do have some complementary snacks or hot food. I’ve come up with a few myself (mostly those I’ve used on 1st Class advances before) but wondered which gaps I’ve left (if any):
East Midlands Trains (Mainline only)
LNER
Virgin West Coast
Cross Country (Voyager/HST routes only)
Transport for Wales (WAG ‘67’ only)
Great Western Railway (HST/IET only)
TPE (certain routes only?)
Anything Scotrail?
