Pancakes, Crumpets & Pies: LNER Launches New Onboard Menus

LNER has revealed its new First Class menus, which continue its long-held commitment to championing and celebrating local food and drink producers along its route.

LNER’s handpicked suppliers stretch from Caithness in the Scottish Highlands to London, with producers based in destinations across LNER’s almost one-thousand-mile route. From Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Durham, Northallerton, York, Harrogate, Leeds and Stevenage, the food and drink specialists have been selected for the quality of their produce, as well as their responsible approach to production.

All four of LNER’s First Class complimentary onboard menus are serving up new dishes. Dine, Dish, Deli and Brunch options offer customers a wide choice, with menus differing depending on which service they choose to travel on.

A tasty American style pancake stack will join the famous ‘Full LNER’ and ‘Full Veggie LNER’ breakfast menu for customers travelling on Dine services. The pancakes also feature in the new Dish and Brunch menu alongside firm favourites the bacon roll and plant-based sausage sandwich. Lighter options include Hot Buttery Crumpets, or Peach Melba Overnight Oats with peach, raspberries and blossom honey topped with gluten-free oats soaked in natural yoghurt. These two options can be found across all four menus.

For those travelling later in the day, among a selection of hot and cold dishes, there’s a new Homity Pie served with crisp salad on Dine, Dish and Brunch services. Filled with potato, leek and onion in a creamy sauce, the pie is topped with cheddar cheese and served with a crunchy green pea and bean salad and lemon vinaigrette dressing.

Customers enjoying LNER’s Dine services will also be able to opt for a fish dish of oven roasted cod, boulangère potatoes and green beans, with either a cheese plate or a lemon and elderflower dessert to finish.

From the 15th May, a variety of new sandwiches and drinks, including both vegan and gluten-free options, will also be introduced to LNER’s Café Bar and through the ‘Let’s Eat At Your Seat’ service.

We are always excited when we get to launch a new menu and we believe this is one of our best and most extensive yet. We are proud to work with local producers and suppliers across our route to create a truly wide range of delicious food and drink options onboard our trains, ensuring our customers get the very best experience and service when travelling with us.
