A big shout out for the fruit plate which was probably the best I've seen on any airline. Plenty of papaya.

Passed on any alcohol (not exactly an alluring selection) so slept well for about 5 hours.

I was having breakfast in Arrivals (my goodness those shower rooms are really looking manky) so passed on the mains but not a bad selection IMHO.

We ate heartily in town before heading out for the airport so weren't especially hungry; do not get to the airport too early as the current lounge option is a pass into a Sports Bar by Gate 15. Limited buffet - chicken curry passed muster and some brownies were welcome, but all attended by thumping techno music dialled up to 11. Not even remotely relaxing. BA flight leaves from Gate 15. Didn't roam around to see what other dining options there were. Airport itself was fine.
