Mostly I think this related to the loss of the dedicated PE staff from the 747 and 787. The impact on UC is pretty limited, you need to ask for afternoon tea now. Hardly a deal breaker.

Struggling to understand this point. VS have been herringbone in UC for as long as I can remember. Some people rate AA's latest reverse herringbone above VS but I'd put VS way above that ridiculous CW layout on BA any-day.

Did you read the Trip Reviews? Sample menus are all you are going to get as they could change the menu the day you fly.

Virgin are serving Meon Hill on the 787. Lanson is the champagne in the Clubhouse but onboard the other types they serve Gardet which is like nasty, fizzy dishwater.
Avoid the fizz onboard and have a G&T!
