Their xweeter team said they'd be launching that on Monday 28th May.....several things wrong with that., which were duly pointed out & clarification requested - I haven't seen one to date....

What the press release doesn't mention is the price increase. Three courses up over 10% from £39.50 to £44.

And I thought inflation was only 2.3% now. ;)

That said, I do plan to dine on the Pullman in the coming weeks, provided I can find a dog sitter for Finn. GWR have relaxed their rules for dogs on the Night Riviera but they remain barred from the Pullman.

(Yes, he should be on the floor but he was up and laid out before I'd even got my shoes off!)

Dogs have a heightened sense of smell.  If your shoes were on the floor he probably knew what was coming and got some distance.

I am no chef but the kitchens seem quite well appointed.
