Was he just unlucky?
same happened on our recent LGW-ACE flight. I prefer a drinks service before food and I definitely preferred to have a menu rather than making an on the spot decision. On the return (yesterday) we had said drinks service, but still no menus. Was too hungry to take pictures but the choices were a) massaman beef curry, b) macaroni cheese and c) chicken ceaser salad. I had the pasta (nice, if a little watery) and hubby had the curry (he liked it). Starter was the disappointingly miniscule antipasti- it's tasty, but ridiculously small.
Slightly off topic, but the crew on both of these flights were exceptional. Best CE experience to date. Unfortunately as a lowly bronze, I have no way of highlighting this, other than a Twitter message to BA.
