Good question.
Here's how it was done on CX, SQ, LH and BR and one of my AC 7s, plus 3 recent AC 8s:
"Would you like to join us for dinner service or would you prefer to sleep?
If you prefer to sleep, would you like us to serve you your main meal later on or would you prefer just something light?"
Also asked in most of these cases: "Would you like to be woken for breakfast or would you prefer to sleep longer?"
Brilliantly executed by all but especially the teams on 7/8 as I did not expect them to ask.
