Lunch at St Pancras

A lot of fuss has been made about Eurostar's recent move to St Pancras, but not just about the super fast train bringing a short stretch of Britain's railway up to the standard of the rest of western Europe but about the station its self. Obviously being father of two boys this was a must.

The main floor of the station, i.e. where the trains sit also have the worlds longest Champagne bar (given my youngest isn't out of nappies I thought passing him off as 18 would be tricky) so we settled for the Baby Betjeman's cafe at the end of the platforms. The Champagne bar runs as far as we walked down the station blocking the view of the trains for little people and, sadly, the does not give such a good view of the trains to the boys were not as entertained as I had hoped.

The coffee and food was good but, not surprisingly, expensive at about £13 for a small portion of Lancashire Hot Pot, portion of (excelent) chips and a coffee.
