Chicken and stuffing is still there

The hot food on short haul (which neither I nor any crew member I spoke to ever saw is gone)

EIR catering?

Is catering available on EI Regional? There was a notice on the website since COVID which stated that catering had been suspended on EIR routes, but that has recently been removed. Previously, EIR (when operated by Stobart) had a slimmed down Bia menu, I think it was just drinks and snacks, no sandwiches etc.

Does anyone know what catering is available today on EIR flights?

I've flown emerald a few times (most recently DUB-ABZ last week) and only offered tea, coffee or water (all free) No food or snacks offered.
Thanks!

Good question!

Was on a morning flight into DUB last week and a guy a few rows ahead of me ordered one, but only got it delivered just as the descent had commenced...

I ordered a coffee on that flight; it's still not shown up on my Amex statement, not even as a pending transaction. The Bulmers I had on the next flight, and paid with the same card, is already shown in my statement.

Guess I got a free coffee on mainline EI so?

I'll find out...

The general AerSpace rules are you can have as much as you want from the trolley. I have found the crews very eager to ensure I get everything.

None on todays LGW flight but did try the "New and improved sausage and bacon roll" . I have to say it was actually improved and quite decent.

Interesting to see the use by date is the same day you got it. I would have thought that the ‘fresh’ would would be loaded with preservatives to allow them last longer…
