The measures are already doubles, and the UK is very different from the US in this respect. A few crew will give more without asking, particularly on short flights, but generally speaking the decorous thing to do is serve one at a time. They’re always happy to top it up later.

But thats the issue isnt it ? In the olden days the crews were very proactive in coming round the cabin offering top ups and doing multiple bar runs.
But these days, especially with the mega CE cabins, either there isnt the time, or the crews just cant be bothered

What BA should also do, in my opinion, is give each CE passenger a bottle of water. Or a carton of water if it wants to be environmentally friendly. Or actually invest in proper size water glasses.

This is an issue on mega CE cabin Gatwick flights - especially to long band 2 destinations that can be in the air for 2hrs 20.

Today's menu on the 549 from Rome
Circa 12 rows in CE
Service, drinks then food, served by 2 teams (from each end)
The chicken dish was poplular, deservedly so, and the crew in the galley kept topping up the carts.. think everyone got 1st choice meal
A further drinks run shortly afterward food dispensed
.. and then, what felt like not long after the clear up; the Capt. announced we were 45 min from landing
All very pleasant

I agree, and this seems to be a new Euroflyer issue. What they used to do is either offer two drinks (or ask 'and would you like some wine to have with your meal') or they'd bring out drinks on the trolley with the food. What seems to happen now is a single drinks run, then food hand-run without drinks, which means you have nothing to go with your meal and the tray-loaded wine glass is entirely pointless. Last time this happened I asked the CSM for wine with my meal and was refused until they'd completed the food service (by which time there was no white wine left anyway). I think the problem would be solved by taking out all the food on the trolley, with some drinks on the top - which is what I've most often seen on LHR services, and some LGW services - but perhaps it depends on the crew, I don't know what the SOP is.

BA1389 from Manchester this morning. I had the egg and tomato muffin. It was about a billion percent better than the bacon sandwich.
