HS1 has announced that Matthew Fort, British food writer, critic and judge on BBC2’s Great British Menu has been appointed the first ever Food Curator at St Pancras International.
As part of his role, Matthew will be working closely with HS1 (St Pancras International’s owners) to continue expanding the high quality food and drink offering at the station.
He said: “For me there is no better way to start a journey than sipping on a coffee with a sandwich or a delicious slice of cake while watching people walk by. I’m excited to start working with the 24 retailers to showcase the amazing food that is available at commuters’ fingertips, whether it’s a panini for a trip to Paris or a cupcake for the journey home to Corby.”
Matthew Fort has started work already, so passengers may find him around the station sampling the latest products, the specials of the day – or even offering advice on the best seasonal produce!
