At-seat ordering, for every seat

Just scan the QR code on the back of the seat in front of you (or on the table) using your phone's camera to be taken straight to our digital menu. All you need to do is enter your seat number, choose from our menu and pay using our secure checkout, and we'll do the rest, hand-delivering your order to you without you even needing to leave your seat.

First Class customers can additionally use the at-seat ordering to request complimentary refreshments including tea, coffee, biscuits and light snacks.
