Eurostar, the high-speed rail service linking the UK and mainland Europe, is launching a brand-new summer menu for Business Premier passengers to enjoy on board. 

Designed by Michelin star chef and Eurostar Business Premier Culinary Director, Raymond Blanc OBE, the summer range will delight customers palates with light, refreshing flavours inspired by the wonderful city destinations that Eurostar travels to. 

In line with Eurostar’s commitment to sustainability, the menu champions seasonal, local and responsibly sourced ingredients including courgettes grown in the French village of Charbuy, 15km from our Burgundy kitchen; beef from Aldens, an Oxfordshire butcher founded in 1793 and run by the same family for eight generations; and delicious goats’ cheese from the Yonne region. 

Raymond Blanc OBE, Eurostar’s Business Premier Culinary Director for the past nine years, said: “Travel is back on the menu, and we want to celebrate with new summer dishes that offer our Business Premier passengers fresh, seasonal flavours, whilst on the move. All the recipes are full of flavour, designed to complement each other and bring the best locally sourced ingredients to the plates of our Eurostar Business Premier travellers.”
