Just spotted that BA's website says that afternoon tea is only until half 4. Will I get lucky on Monday and get dinner instead of finger sandwiches or is the website telling porkies?!

I am very surprised that it has not been amended.
The timings in the front of this thread and those above are the correct timings.
I do however live in hope that these times will be revised. If that happens, you all will hear as soon as I do.

On Band 2 flights you receive a wrap if your take off falls in the lunch time period 12.00-13.59 or the evening period 17.00 onwards.
Prior to 9.30 in the morning you receive a filled croissant and at all other times you get complimentary drinks and a basket of snacks to choose from.
So you should be receiving a wrap on your flight tonight.
I hope you enjoy it.

I mentioned this to a CC member and was told "we give out whats loaded"
Inconsistancy as usual BA!

Well the afternoon tea on the flight to CPH was actually not as bad as I was expecting. Sandwiches were fine and the scones were lovely and warm. Great crew member serving the cabin.
Dinner last night coming back to LHR was good - prawn curry and it had a bit of a kick to it.
I'll upload some pictures when I have access to a laptop.
Looks like setting my expectations low paid off!

For those that take onboard F&B seriously, you may wish to look away....
Doorstep drama...
Where this culinary composition lost points in taste, delicacy and appearance, the VLML gem from LGW's Alpha force certainly made up in pure comedy stakes. Honestly

The one today on my Band 2 lived right down to expectations. Ordinarily I decline this sorry excuse for food and today's experience reminded me why: three curling sandwiches and a cold stale scone, no jam and a ferocious looking cake thing. The whole lot went back uneaten. Still, at least the champagne was warm.

That's a pity - exactly the opposite to what I experienced!

Although in BA's defence they don't look too different to the ubiquitous tuna sandwiches found in SQ's J lounge.

Ha ha, you are right on all counts. It reminded me of the "what?" reaction I had when I first saw the SQ J lounge sandwiches.
