Eurostar has sexed up its Business Premier class with the introduction of menus by Michelin three star chef Alain Roux.
From April 14, travellers in the premium compartments will be able to taste the creations of the chef patron at foodie heaven the Waterside Inn in Berkshire.
The cross channel operator has also announced a new guaranteed boarding service for Business Premier passengers from May which means they can get on the train they want without a reservation, avoiding lengthy stand-by queues.
The operator will also launch an app for Iphone and Android users this summer so they can book tickets on their mobiles and check in using mobile ticketing.
Commercial director for Eurostar Nick Mercer said: “Our Business Premier class of service is a key priority for us and we will continually invest in it to ensure it remains the benchmark for short haul business travel.
“Last year, we saw a revival in the business markets in the UK, France and Belgium and this translated into an increase in our Business Premier passenger numbers.
“However, in the current climate many of our business clients have tough decisions to make about their choice of travel class, so the aim of these latest improvements is to highlight that Eurostar continues to invest in offering its Business Premier customers exceptional levels of flexibility, service and value. ”
