Sadly yes, although it might be the "afternoon tea plus" where you have a choice between the sandwiches or a salad.

To my knowledge, the only destinations that escape the dreaded fate and have a second meal instead are West coast (SAN, LAX, SFO, SJC, SEA).

Incidentally, since we are at it. I did another of the dreaded 9am LHR-MIA in F. The combination of breakfast and afternoon tea was nothing short of vile (mixed grill was disgusting, roastbeef on the 'continental plate' had green hues, they ran out of freaking yoghurt, etc).

For the life of me, I just cannot understand why BA is able to offer a semblance of a brunch for main meal and tapas for second on short day JFK-LHR and BOS-LHR flights but cannot be arsed to have brunchy options on a 50% longer and later departing LHR-MIA.
