I think we can all agree that the CCR is not going gourmet anytime soon, but I've settled into a little routine that I rather enjoy of ordering Mac & Cheese from the Flounge as a starter, the pork belly dish with two pork bellies, and cheesecake from the Flounge. It's not a bad meal at all!

Entry to CCR?
Can anyone advise me whether it is necessary to have the physical card to gain entry (assuming not flying First), or does the boarding pass give enough information? Due to spending too much time in BA's metal tubes this year, my flight from Helsinki on Friday will take me over the 5k TP threshold. Also, does anyone know how long it takes BAEC to recognise this and mail out said card?

Had a lovely evening in the CCR yesterday and I've to say, the food was delicious; truly an improvement compared to my visits late last year/earlier this year. ^
As my visits have become more frequent now due to the CCR-Card, overall I'm really looking forward to my time there. Especially based on the current menu as I'm not a fan of this season's buffet option at GF (no, I'm not a fan of the Pork and leek sausages as well as the Steak and ale pies; so it would be off the menu anyway
)
My favourite item in the CCR is by far the wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil; it's consistenly great ^ Well done! And for dessert, the Cambridge cream is nice too or the cheesecake from GF! On the other hand, the Concorde Roast is a disappointment more often than not.

Each time I've had the roast I've found it disappointing. The flavour has been fine, but the beef itself has been rather tough. I stopped ordering it a few months back now. Pity, if the meat was tender it would be a good dish.

But Heureka, one card has been finally posted on Friday 2nd May, so hopefully it should arrive by next week. Fingers crossed!

The OH and I had the beef rump last week and were quite impressed, so perhaps we were lucky or Filthy Monkey was unlucky.
The waiter asked how we wanted the meat prepared and it arrived as requested.
On a more general note, we found the staff were very proactive and keen to assist.

Can you order breakfast at any time in the CCR? (or at least around 13:30?)

Concorde Room (CCR) LHR : menus 2014
If you're on a TLV or other late flight, they do clear up quite early. At 2115 the menus were collected up, and from 2130 staff were almost all gone.
