It is a different matter to EC261 (to avoid a complex set of nuances), so you should either call Customer Relations on a working afternoon (UK time) or submit a separate complaint on that issue. If it happens again, hopefully not, you can more or less predict this is going to be the result if held over 20 hours or so on shorthauls. So in that situation you can buy food at the airport and charge it to BA if no vouchers were offered.
I think you're looking at about 10k Avios per passenger for this.
I was just wondering whether it is feasible to ask the local catering company to supply some business class meals. I am sure AT uses the local RAK catering.
