Had this once - refused it 2nd and 3rd times. on GLA, CDG and TXL routes. Processed rubbish.
Afternoon meal is again the weakest: Sandwiches have reduced(!) in portion size. Ploughmans comes with the packaged, rock-hard rye bread - how can we be offered fresh warm bread at breakfast and with the dinner panini on a band 1, but not when it would be most appreciated, maybe they could throw in some scones while they're at it?
On all band 1s I've had it's been warm towel on the ground, food out on the trolley immediately after TO followed by drinks run - trays hand cleared and no issues with 2nd or even 3rd drinks run (even with 7 rows of CE on a 40 minute flight).
