Due to reduced complements, the only thing which should be offered pre take off are pre take off drinks, menus, and drinks and meal order time permitting.

2 hours for a (if OPs flight was indeed ) full cabin delivering the current full experience is quite quick considering on a 789 there are only two crew delivering in the cabin, one of whom would be the SCCM who has to dip in and out of the service to do other safety related duties and say hello to F customers ahead of joining the service, and one in the galley preparing the service and drinks for 42 pax.

This is something I have been feeding back internally for a while but until the service standards are rewritten to offer a sleeper service and crew complements return to pre covid, this is the current standard.
