Eurostar passengers can now get free champagne at the push of a button

Eurostar passengers can now get free champagne served directly to their seat - and all with the push of a button!

All you need to do is download the Eurostar app and use the 'Press for Champagne' button, and you'll be treated to a free glass of bubbly on your journey!

You might want to be quick though, as the the offer is only up for grabs for the first 25 people who opt for the service on each of the selected trains.

In fact the new feature kicks off today (Tuesday 6th August) and then will be available every Friday for the rest of the month on evening services from London to Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

The Tuesday 6th August services will include London to Paris at 17:01, Paris to London at 17:13 and London to Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam at 17:16.

You can download the Eurostar app for free on Apple App Store here or the Google Play Store here .

The fun offer comes as the high-speed rail service begins the 100 days countdown to its 25th anniversary celebrations, taking place in November.

Marc Noaro, Chief Customer Officer, Eurostar, said:   "For 25 years Eurostar has provided customers with a fast, comfortable and enjoyable way to travel.

"We’re trialling a new ‘press for champagne’ button this summer to offer travellers a chance to join in the celebrations and make their trip even more special."

Don't be disheartened if you don't quite get to the feature in time, or if it doesn't work for your journey.

The good news is that you can of course buy alcohol on board, while Eurostar also allows passengers to bring up to four bottles or cans of beer OR one bottle of wine, per person.

However make sure you're aware of the Eurostar rules on bringing alcohol or you could risk having your drinks confiscated at check-in.
