GWR’s summer menu available at 125mph from next week.
Great Western Railway (GWR) is welcoming a new summer menu to its Pullman Dining service next week, with seven new dishes on offer to customers.
The new menu, launching on Tuesday 28th May, will allow 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 the UK.
Chefs will create their culinary delights in the onboard kitchen, with silver service crews delivering the dining experience while the train travels at 125mph, bringing a new dimension to the phrase ‘fast food’.
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 £37 two-course or £44 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.
The summer menu service will run Monday to Fridays on the journeys.

GWR’s Sales & Marketing Director, Amanda Burns, commented on the new menu saying: “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.”
