There was no choice for breakfast (and therefore also no menu), and whilst everything was quite simple, it was perfectly adequate for a flight of this length. Breakfast trays and drinks were served from the trolley, with the offer of bread and croissants from a basket. Butter, olive oil, milk and sugar was offered at the appropriate times from a tray.

The efficient crew announced after takeoff that the forward washroom was for Business Class use only, and enforced it on the one occasion it was needed. I found the continuation of the boarding music through takeoff and climb a little annoying, although appreciated the smart mood lighting on this one year old A320neo, and the free messaging for Business Class (and IB status) passengers.

Menus were offered after takeoff.



Dinner trays and drinks (proactively topped up throughout the flight) were served from the trolley, with the offer of bread from a basket. Butter and olive oil was offered from a tray, with a chocolate also offered from a tray towards the end of the flight. My choice of roasted pork tenderloin was excellent - certainly one of the best short haul business class meals I've had in a long time.
