Haha I noticed this when eating it and opted for the pasta on return!

Does anyone have an up to date list of soft and non-alcoholic drinks which are available on board?
Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale, Tonic Water, Slimline Tonic Water, Sparkling Water, Mineral Water, Orange Juice, Apple Juice, Tomato Juice, 5 Alive, Tea and Coffee.

In addition Club Europe has Cranberry Juice, Bitter Lemon, Fanta Orange, Earl Grey Tea, Pepermint Tea, Camonile Tea, and Green Tea all flights plus Hot Chocolate on Band 4 flights

Thanks for a very comprehensive answer. ^

Tomato was removed from some breakfast services for a while at both LHR and LGW but was then reinstated because the conversations explaining we did not have it took as long as serving it in the first place.

At LGW for some reason, some LGW crews, still seem to think they don't have to serve it on the shorter sectors. Which is not correct. It is loaded on the flights and should be available if requested.

Service standards are the same for LGW and LHR.

Hot Breakfast time changed?

Just flown ABZ - LHR on BA1305 dep 0930. I last took this flight exactly 4 weeks ago and that time as per previous departures a hot breakfast was offered. Today though just the basket with the usual crisp/biscuit. I queried this with the cabin crew who said hot breakfast not served after 0830. Not seen this enhancement mentioned elsewhere - is it correct? I'll take earlier flight next time

Hot breakfast stops at 09.29.
Flights that take off at 09.30 get the snack basket.

My guess is that the Summer schedule may be 5 mins later than your last sector in the winter time table. Have you checked the exact time of your last ABZ flight.

It is really annoying though that just a couple of mins can make so much difference. If you catch the flight before the 09.30 one, you will get breakfast though.

These timings have been like this for quite a long time now.

Breakfast up until 09.29 on domestics and then snack basket rest of day.

Thank you - yes just checked, the last flight was slightly earlier on winter TT. The '0830' comment though was incorrect which was my main feeling.

Have to remember that for next time

I'm flying LCY-IBZ departing 09:10 and IBZ-LCY departing 13:30, all in ET. Poking around on FlyerTalk I'm having trouble working out just how different the CityFlyer catering is to mainline BA, with some seemingly receiving a hot breakfast and even a hot lunch/dinner on similar flights. Can anyone be kind enough to elighten me as to what I might receive?

On my last flights LCY to PMI, very similar times though; hot breakfast on the way out (bacon, sausage, etc.) and couscous chicken salad on the return.

Yes, the 08.30 comment was wrong. Some SCCMs don't choose to do the domestic earlies (I love them) and so he may have got a bit mixed up.
