Hello,

I am thinking about travelling on one of the above services very soon and i'm just wondering about the following:

1) How good is the food quality on the services
2) Is the food avaliable to Standard Class customers
3) Any other feedback on the Travelling Chef food!

Cheers,

The travelling chef food is excellent quality and a reasonable price although I preferred the older menu.
But saying that I have had about 1/2 the new menu now and it has all been good even things I would not normally buy.

The breakfast is very nice! I had a full breakfast platter the other week and it's just like I'd have it anywhere else. I was in First class though so got to eat it on a proper plate with metal cutlery.

The only problem I had with the breakfast platter was that I was travelling next to the kitchen and the smell as they were cooking it was mouth watering. The meal lived up to the smell though, it was delicious, and a reasonable sized helping.

And you consider that a problem, I would call it an appetizer, now where is that drooling smillie!

Similarly, I love the way they announce that the travelling chef is on board and if people would like to take their seats for pre-lunch drinks...nice touch guaranteed to clinch the decision:D

Wouldn't that be the pullman dining because the travelling chef is at-seat service in FC and you can buy it in the buffet for Standard.
