A free one, with free booze.

If you want more detail, a quick phone call to Eurostar may help.

Well, it's not free, as it's about the only reason to pay a huge premium
for travel in First Class! Me, I'd rather pack a sandwich and sit in
Economy.

As you'll arrive in Paris in mid-afternoon (14:17 French time), I should
think it would be a full 3-course lunch. Bon appetit!

Last time I went on Eurostar (to Brussels), it was actually *cheaper* to go
first than economy for the train times we wanted.

With the bigger seats and *far* nicer atmosphere onboard in first, it was
an absolute no-brainer, and the free food and booze was just the icing on
the cake.

The huge premium was about a tenner last time I travelled first. It
can be worth checking the foreign prices as well as the UK ones, and
if you are lucky special offers can make first similar to steerage.

You also get better seats (2+1) (and a newspaper). You don't get let
into the lounges unless you have the right sort of first class ticket,
which I think is a bit rude.

Oh, I didn't know that - maybe I will check. But mostly we go on the
Shuttle, anyway.

It is, rather. Still, I suppose the poor business travellers on
expenses feel they need to be sheltered from the oiks.

Hmm - I'm not sure what you'd get. If you travel mid afternoon you get a
"light afternoon meal" which actually isn't too bad. I had this when I
travelled a week or so ago.

You may get something akin to a brunch as I think you're too late for
breakfast and too early for lunch.
