London LHR to Thira (Santorini) JTR
British Airways 652
A320

Ugh, 5+ hours in fake Business Class. But it's nonstop so you suck it up and try to survive the flight. Fortunately, we had bulkhead seats (indeed the entire row) today.
In the air, excellent service from a pleasant although at times annoyingly chatty FA.
OK, I know we're sitting in Economy seats, but the food tray was way too small. Cheese, dessert and starter with no room to spare.
The smoked salmon starter was good.
As was the chicken. But there was even less room now. Jeez.
OK, problem solved by moving the cheese and dessert to the middle divider.
Hey there was even IFE today. LOL.

The chicken looked nice but the pasta looked way too creamy for my taste so I had the cod. Pleasant enough but definitely not grilled despite the description.

That coffee creme caramel is still on the menu.... Really disliked its taste, texture and look. That crumb on top it's making it appear curdled.

CE evening flight, NCL-LHR. Chicken, mozzarella and tomato panini (highlight being that an a/c change resulted in us getting an ex-BMI A321 with proper business class for the short flight)

Quite literally the worst main I've ever had on BA. WTP touts itself as having CW mains... clearly not. Bizarre, overcooked chunks of beef rather than the (somewhat pitiful, but better) steak as per usual. Not to nitpick, but menu also said 'carrots,' not carrot - just all around quite poor, I thought. Bread not horrid but a bit overdone so crunchy, in a bad way, on one end.
Toblerone was delicious but I swear at one point the pre-arrival meal included crisps and was generally much better? With all the 'improvements' to WT (where this was also served), it's a bit of a joke, even compared to the likes of AA.
This was the BA 293 - LHR-IAD in WTP, May 2018.

It would be very unusual for either wine not to be loaded, I think you've been very unlucky. I always have the dessert wine with cheese (or dessert) and am yet to have a refusal. On the occasions I have asked for the port, it has always been forthcoming.

BA 116 JFK-LHR 2010-0820 747-400
Personalized menus and cards at each seat, really nice touch
Good app, the cheese was excellent
Excellent soup and very hot too
Fairly boring salad
Cooking beef is still a skill BA lacks. I was full at this point from lounge dinner and dinner on the plane so I skipped to dessert
Quick breakfast before landing. Overall an incredible flight.

I had exactly that menu on KRK–LHR just under two weeks ago. Really delicious. Though I am disappointed to see that your starter seems to have shrunk – mine came with three prawns and more of the green stuff which I cannot currently remember what was.
