Once onboard, you'll enjoy complimentary at-seat meal and beverage service provided by our onboard staff of First Class attendants. Selections include freshly prepared chef inspired entrees as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Menus rotate approximately every three weeks.

In 2026, the "free snack" policy on first-class trains depends entirely on the operator and the distance of the journey. On high-speed intercity routes, such as LNER in the UK, Eurostar Premier, or Amtrak’s Acela (First Class), complimentary meals, snacks, and beverages (including alcohol) are typically included in the ticket price and served at your seat. On these lines, you can expect anything from a light pastry to a full hot dinner. However, for many European "standard" first-class tickets (like on SNCF's TGV or Germany's ICE), snacks are generally not free; instead, you get more spacious seating and the option to order food from a bistro menu that is delivered to your seat for a fee. Some premium services, like Italy’s Frecciarossa, offer a "Welcome Drink" and a small snack box as part of the service. In the U.S., Amtrak’s long-distance "Sleeper" passengers get all meals included, but "First Class" on shorter regional routes may only offer a complimentary water bottle or a small snack pack. It is always wise to check your specific "Fare Class" details, as "Business" and "First" classes often have different catering levels.
