Travelling Chef on Saturdays

« on: November 13, 2012, 19:10:58 »

Evening,

I am looking at doing the 09:59 WSB^» - PAD^» train this coming saturday which has a Travelling Chef. I will be traveling either on a First Advance or Weekend First (Probably the latter as I am doing voluntary work till 3AM in the morning so I might end up missing it over a lie in... Wink

)

My question is (and I am rather appalled I don't know, because I should but I haven't done Traveling Chef on a weekend in ages!) does the Traveling Chef take orders from First Class at-seat, or is it pay in the Buffet and wait for the food to be put in a cardboard box? Wink

Before anyone goes off on one. I am only asking as I don't want to miss brekkie and it will change what I order if it's cardboard box Cool

(Cheese Toastie instead of a Veggie Brekkie as I hate having all the sauces mixed together in the box - If anyone has had the unfortunate pleasure of watching me eat, I can make ALOT of mess and I eat food in groups and not a little bit of this, that and the other in one fork full Wink

)

Ta,

There is indeed a different menu at weekends.

breakfast at the weekend is available, but when I did it last month it was in a box. Not well presented but it was mighty tasty.

If you're travelling in standard class on a weekday you only get the breakfast in the box, and I agree it is tasty. At least the beans come in a little pot as well, otherwise they'd probably end up leaking through the box.
