Concorde Room (CCR) LHR : menus 2013

Concorde Room (CCR) LHR : menus from 13 March 2014

Here is the 2014 Concorde Room (LHR T5 airside) menu. All items are ordered from the lounge hosts, who can also bring you items from the Flounge menu and buffet. These items are not advertised in CCR itself, so this link may come in handy:
Galleries First (Flounge) LHR: Dining menu and food options 2013

Another old link with some useful comments on it is here:
Concorde Room LHR T 5 - dining menu

And this thread gives some background to the change in catering supplier from Compass / Restaurant Associates
New lounge catering contract : BaxterStorey replaces Compass - eff 1 Mar 2013

The menu changes every 6 months, and there is quite an overlap with the Flounge menu. The pre flight Supper menu has gone, so it is one menu throughout the day.

Photos of items from this menu can be seen here.
