These photos relate to the food offerings after the breakfast period:
Salads
The salad options include cous cous, mixed bean salad, salami Napoli, chorizo, shaved pastrami, quiche.
Sandwiches
Cheese
Cheese on offer was English brie, Denhay cheddar, Cropwell Bishop stilton. Served with apple and cider chutney and quince
jelly, with oatcakes and Carrs Water biscuits (both types).
Nibbles
Dried fruit mix, BA savoury mix (watch out Admirals Club!), Taiwanese crackers.
In addition there were two other food areas, with fresh fruit (pears, apples, bananas and oranges); and biscuits from Island Bakery Organics (handmade biscuits from a husband and wife business on the island of Mull). The biscuits are emphatically a premium product, at the time of writing there were 2 types on offer, apple crumble and chocolate and soft ginger. They were served from a large Avery glass jar (as used for pickling), unfortunately I didn't see any tongs, but they are not wrapped, which is perhaps just as well since they would be pilfered.
Comments
A modest update in options now available, mainly soup related. New menu from 12 March 2014.
