Cheery crew. Starter was good, noticeably better quality than earlier in the year. The Indian theme wasn't very popular: everyone seemed to order the chicken breast which ran out before the end of the second row. I had the kofta which was excellent, interesting taste and presentation, more imaginative than most. Wine served from large bottles into a small glass, so probably half what you get from the normal mini bottles. I'm not sure the cleaning team in BWI will be fans of whoever in BA is buying such crusty bread rolls. Was very hard not to get crumbs everywhere. 'Light refreshment' was still the hot slice thing, which I gave up on months ago. I wish they'd change this.

I didn't have dinner, the breakfast light refreshment was a fried egg, Swiss cheese and tomato bagel. Hot, didn't taste of much but overall was fine.
