Long Haul catering from Gatwick
I'm heading out of Gatwick on Saturday to SKB via ANU, travelling with the family and in economy this time. I've ordered a gluten free meal for my wife, but does anyone know what the catering will be that weekend?
Our son is 5 but likes his food so have left as a normal meal. When I flew out of Heathrow earlier this month the braised beef cheek was lovely. Just wondering what to expect out of Gatwick. Also, if anyone knows what the GF option is likely to be that would be great.
Thanks

LGW Caribbean meals [in CW] are just as tedious as any other route. I defer to others on what happens in Y.
Enjoy the destination, if not the longgggg journey!

Thanks, usually in J or W but a very long time since I've done anything over an hour in Y. It may work better for us though as the three of us can sit together in a bank of 3 which may help the 10 hours 10 minutes pass with a 5 year old!. Just need to remember not to expect the usual options.

Just flew out in Y. The meals we had were:
First meal : Chicken curry with rice or pasta. Red coleslaw, bread roll and Lily O'Brien Key Lime pie pot
Second "meal". : Afternoon tea - not sure if there was a choice of sandwich but mine was 2 quarters of a chicken Caesar sandwich and a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam ( sorry but I'm a raspberry kind of guy) with a choice of tea / coffee or juice from the drinks trolley
The flight was roughly nine hours. Not sure if catering is the same on all routes outbound over 8 and a half hours but I hope this helps a bit
