This is definitely in the outside of their control arena, at least they are proactively letting you know so you can self cater, I think this is
the best solution, you know. what you like and have time to buy.
Great to make excuses but a more service focused airline could have solved the problem rather than making it their customers’ problem. Aircraft caterers exist at NAS. They also exist at other nearby airports.

A cynical observer might suggest that NAS is probably one of the more expensive places to purchase food and that BA knows a £20 voucher would be substantially cheaper than paying a caterer for a one-off job.
