If you read my previous reviews I have and would continue to be an avid user of this service. No better way to travel from Devon to London than with silver served, cooked from fresh food. Today was the first time I have eating in the new train sets. I have already experienced the dreadful seating both in standard and first class, when compared to the old 125s. I hoped that having a good meal and a drink would take my mind off this issue but it didn’t. The food is still good. However, the whole ambience is far from Pullman. All the airline style seats face backwards so couples cannot sit across from one another unless at a table for 4 and all these airline seats stare at the lavatory with its...
Always wanted to do this, and it didn’t disappoint. Clean modern restaurant carriage, and the staff were terrific. We never had to ask for more drinks, as they were there offering even before we knew we wanted another drink.The food was excellent. There were four of us and two had lamb and two had the Dover sole. All of the dishes including starters and cheese and biscuits were absolutely delicious. Top marks to the chef! Kevin and his team provided the most excellent service throughout the entire journey. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they were friendly and approachable throughout. Many thanks to all for a most enjoyable day.
I was fortunate enough to secure a seat for the last orders at Taunton, I had the full monty English breakfast. The service was also First Class, food was excellent and as much as I could cope with, excellent quality, courteous staff, just an outstanding start to the day. When you think that you will most likely want a meal at your destination (Paddington) this will set you up for the rest of the day and when you consider that anything you buy in London by way of a meal will be much more than the great value of the Pullman Breakfast. You know it makes sense, enjoy the best, traveling from the west. Recommended
We used the GWR Pullman on the train from Paddington to Cornwall, and it was amazing. Getting to the coach was, to say the least, a battle on a crowded Cornwall train, but it was well worth it. Old fashioned silver service from a friendly and knowledgeable staff, superb food how they managed it on a train I will never know! It isn't cheap, but it is worth the price, and it really sets the tone for the whole subsequent holiday. Space is limited, and it is only on 2 trains a day, but if you get the chance, do try it.

I was booked on the 07:31 from Newton Abbot to Paddington and reserved a seat in Pullman Dining, The staff where incredibly friendly and welcoming. The choice of food was good, and it didn't take long between ordering and having it place on my table. The price was actually excellent considering that amount of food you are offered(certainly more than I could manage). I certainly will be using this service again in the future.
Unfortunately my Pullman experience was cancelled by GWR and so I was disappointed not to be able to try the service. Having been in contact with the GWR Social Media team they have been most helpful in resolving this issue (much moreso than the standard customer service) and so I am now looking forward to rebooking with my sister in the future.
Some train operators offer complimentary meals in first class so you might wonder what makes it worth paying for Pullman dining. It may be expensive but it is worth it, the quality is restaurant standard all served to you at 125 MPH.
it makes a wonderful start to a holiday in the West Country. We treat ourselves to a meal at least once a year. The food is excellent and the service friendly and efficient.

I had the pleasure of dining with GWR Cardiff to Paddington this morning and indulged in a fantastic breakfast. Good price, great food and exceptional service.
We travelled on this train from victoria to Folkestone with on board dining.
