Food on eurostar

We have standard tickets on the eurostar from London to Paris at 9:00 AM. Is there any sort of beverage service? Can you buy meals on board? if not, can you bring food on board?

There is a buffet car selling refreshments. Equally you can bring your own food on board. At Waterloo there is an Marks and Spencer food outlet as well as other food stalls.

Have a good trip.

JBart: We have business-premier class tix on Eurostar. Is there food service for that class, and if so, what? Thanks so much.

Hi Mimi,

I went to Paris by premier class Eurostar in February 2005 and we had a meal provided that was similar to the meals I have received on long haul economy flights with Qantas or BA. I recall it was a small heated tray meal with a sort of chicken breast and vegetables meal with some sort of sauce. You also got coffee and a little screw top bottle of red or white wine.

The food was as edible as airline food (economy class) but not as nice as a fresh bread roll with ham or cheese from a shop in Paris would have been. The seats were not that much better than standard class and it is only about 2 1/2 hours for the trip, so I went standard class in October and would always do that in future unless I premier class was the only seating left on the day I had to travel.

With you there Faux all the way. I always travel economy on Eurostar so that I can take my own food. Leaving England I make something at home and take a good bottle of wine but when I leave France I can visit the nearest traiteur and buy the most fantastic meal to eat. For me that is heaven.

Faux %26amp; Bart: I would have never gotten the business-premier class, but for some reason, when I went to book our trip, it popped up CHEAPER THAN ECONOMY!!, so bargain-hunter that I am, I snatched them up. I could hardly believe my eyes. We paid $118.00 USD for 2 seniors, one-way to Paris, which is exactly what we wanted, as we are continuing on and flying home from Italy. I think it was some kind of fluke, but it happened early on a Sunday morning exactly 90 days before our trip. Anyway, thanks for the food into. We will definitely buy our own sandwich or snack, but I certainly will appreciate the screw-top bottle of wine. Cheers!!

Hi Mimi, In those circumstances I would grab the premier class seat too!
