I might consider a 5 ounce fillet steak to be rather inadequate, but still a lot better than no steak.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

It's certainly a big supplement for a small steak! |

£15 is in my view a reasonable supplement for a small steak, though I would prefer a larger steak for a larger supplement.

I rarely order a steak in a restaurant as whilst I find them tasty, I also find them a bit boring. So, I’d save my pennies (if it’s £15 extra that’s a lot!) and go for one of the other options which are reasonably priced given the unique experience.

Sorry, I should have said the supplement is indeed £15.
Apparently the steak is one of the most popular main courses. Presumably that’s why it features on every menu.

You could always have two?  |

Two steaks seems excessive, in a way that a single larger steak of the same total weight does not.

This is why I always ask for my pizza to be cut into six pieces. I couldn't manage eight. |

Or two small ports versus one large one. (There's a joke there somewhere about ships and harbours - is Felixstowe a large port?) |

Just caught the start of an article on BBC» Radio 4's Food Program (Friday,11am) about catering on trains and stations, both in the UK▸ and abroad. It's the first thing on the show so it's not difficult to find. Some interesting information including an interview with a chap from the ORR» .
