BA 676 - catering times?
Quick question, out of curiosity:
BA 676 to Istanbul leaves LHR at 0940, and is a Band 4 service. This means it's a choice of two hot mains in Club (basically, a lunch - not breakfast or brunch).
My experience of Club Europe is that it's a drinks run, then food as soon as possible.
Will they delay the hot food service on this flight until couple of hours in?

Thanks. I may take a seat further back for once as I don't fancy lunch at 10:15 having had my usual 100 bacon rolls from the Galleries.

Actually, as Turkey is two hours ahead, it's pretty much lunchtime by the time you've taken off, been wet towelled & had your first drink! 
That particular flight a couple of weeks ago in CE was outstanding, by the way.

I did this flight last week on the 767, though we left at 10.30 with 12 of us in 9 rows of club. Drinks from the bar (x2), then lunch about 90 minutes in which consisted of a salad followed by a choice of 2 hot mains - Breaded chicken and pasta or Cod, peas and veg finished off with cheese (1 piece) and crackers or a passion fruit cake thing - with plenty of drinks on request. Very pleasant way to start a city break in the lovely city of Istanbul.
