Children's meal in CE

Does anyone know what the current children's menu is on a band four flight? Specifically from Gran Canaria to LHR which I understand will be catered in London. Many thanks ..

I suspect it's not that much different to the one served on a band 3 route. Although they often run out of Monopole on the return legs of a Gran Canaria flight so you'll have nothing to mix with your Ribena

Details of the band 3 meal in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...ilds-meal.html

Well, I will find out on Saturday as my partner has booked it for me and told everyone on Facebook!

Most likely breaded chicken, peas and mashed potatoe but it may be pasta or sausage, mash and beens.

The portions are maybe a bit small compared to a CE hot meal as they are designed for a child under 12 years.

Well, I can now answer my own question!

Quite tasty in fact, even though it was served by a slightly bemused CC.

Looks tastier than most of the adult meals served these days

I love the rubber duck! Who needs to use the Lufthansa First Class terminal

I hope you kept the duck, maybe if you had a cup of tea you could have used the cup as a pond for it. Maybe conduct experiments such as seeing if monopole would dissolve it.

The cake looks nice, even nicer than the ones we get with afternoon tea, food looks reasonable and even the snacks are more substantial than what adults get.

I would take that as a meal too.

That's a good offer for a kids meal. I love the little duck! Perhaps those of us brave enough to order child SPMLs for ourselves should keep one as a badge of honour.

The duck doesn't come with the meal! He travels with us everywhere and has his photo taken wherever possible.

I like the rubber duck. But I also like T8191's bear. Which one is better?

There's only one way to find out...

Oh... the duck would have sealed the deal for me.

Still looks good but then I'd still prefer a regular dinner service, they're generally pretty good. Although I've been on services where the choice was curry or another type of curry so those that don't like that may be better with a CHML.

I chose the child's meal on a shorter flight last weekend (LHR-AMS): .

Not as exciting as chicken nuggets but better than the salad.

It is quite amusing when they lower their voice and whisper that there is a childs meal for me
