2 weeks ago I had a lunch box with sandwich, wrap and desert bloody appalling. BA replied to my complaint that that it ad failed but offered no compensation.

And - nearly forgetting - welcome tamalien to Flyertalk and the BA forum, I hope you will find this a useful resource and that you will continue to participate here.

Indeed yes, the "logic" is that because they have to cater from both ends, the only way they can store all the food is if they are all kept at ambient. If LCA - LON is catered from LCA then the reduced food level allows for hot food in both directions. Now other airlines simply shove the return catering into the hold, and retrieve it at the turnaround location, but that is apparently too problematic for BA. Either way it should now be over.

Wish I could say the outbound experience was pleasant - 4.5 hours delay (inbound flight delayed, aircraft then tech, replacement aircraft freight misloaded) combined with a CCM losing temper with a difficult pax, shouting abuse across cabin, then called captain down to read the riot act!
Unusual, I hope, but unprofessional I am sure.

Inbound meal was noticeably better to my palate.

Catering up and running now. But...BA are doing their usual penny pinching here.
The biggest change is in ET. Apparently they are now loading 10% fewer hot meals, as a cost cutting exercise. Which means that if you're sat in the back there's a high chance you'll end up with a salad.
The CE meal portion is the smallest I've seen in a very long while where "lamb" = 3 very small, almost bite size pieces of meat.
Honestly!!!

If down the back in ET it looks like a special meal is needed to be fed, although it will scupper any chances of an op-up.
I have always taken a salad from the airport to the lounge as €9 ensured I was well fed no matter what CE produced.
