12.06 FGW Paddington to Penzance.

I want to take my wife on the above service on a Friday in late June and use the restaurant car.

Is it worth taking the risk of just buying a standard class ticket and trying to get a seat for lunch on the day in the restaurant - or would I be better advised to get a 1st class advance as they get priority over tables if there is great demand for them ?

Many thanks.

Should be OK with standard class. I've used this a couple of times and there were 8 - 10 dining (some of whom got on at Readig), so plenty of space. I think it is only the two evening services out of Paddington when the restaurant may be full with first class ticket holders.
