The new menu, launching on Tuesday 28 May, at the Great Western Railway will allow discerning diners travelling to and from Paddington, Plymouth, and Swansea the chance to enjoy seasonal dishes, showcasing the best quality produce from regions across the Great Western network and around the UK.
11 passionate Pullman Chefs, who bring new meaning to the phrase ‘fast food’, create their culinary delights in the onboard kitchen, while an attentive crew delivers the ultimate high speed dining experience at 125mph.
Dishes premiering on the menu include a crispy, light Oxfordshire-grown asparagus, pea, and feta puff pastry tart to start; and a main of panko breaded Scottish salmon, served with a pressed golden potato and a smooth balsamic mayonnaise.
Also on the main course menu is a gorgeous, glazed confit pork belly, nestled among a medley of green beans, and crispy salt and vinegar potatoes.
For those who want to make their meal meat-free, they can start their journey with a delicate pea and watercress soup, followed by a paprika-glazed Mediterranean vegetable medley as their next stop on the menu.
Diners wanting to take advantage of the two-course or three-course menus can round off their Pullman experience with a dessert of refreshing lemon meringue tart. Or for something heartier, they can choose one of the nation’s favourite desserts – a sensational sticky toffee pudding, coated in a warm butterscotch sauce with a delicious dairy-free custard.
Showcasing the Great Western network’s outstanding local produce is a selection of cheeses which include a soft and buttery Cotswold brie from Simon Weaver Organic in Gloucestershire, and a creamy Devon Blue from Ticklemore Cheese in Devon.
No dining experience is complete without a selection of drinks, and the menu offers plenty of choice with red and white wines, regional beers and local ciders, and soft drinks which complement each dish perfectly.
Sales & Marketing Director, Amanda Burns, said: “We are thrilled to bring our customers this much-anticipated summer menu of high-quality food. A huge amount of hard work has gone into curating each and every dish, with our onboard chefs paying the highest attention to detail to bring each diner a stylish and delicious meal as they travel in comfort with us.
“The menu is a beautiful mix of ingredients from the Great Western region, as well as farther afield, bringing the best of British and Irish produce to your plate while you take in the view from your First Class seat.
“The Pullman Dining service is a unique way to travel by train, so whether you’re heading to London for work, Swansea for a long weekend, or Plymouth for some sea air, our crew are ready to get your trip off to an appetising start.”
The Pullman Dining summer menu launches on Tuesday 28 May with the service running Monday to Fridays on a number of trains to and from London Paddington and Swansea, and London Paddington and Plymouth.
