I've recently had the crab tortellini and medium rare ribeye both were very good (so much better than the food on board so I know my strategy for the future now: dinner in the CCR and just nibbles/LPGS on board).

JFK CCR June(?) Menu
Fresh out of JFK CCR: what I am assuming is the June dining menu:
Starters:
- Warm leek and roquefort tart, tarragon pesto, herbed salad
- Cambridge House smoked salmon, capers, eggs, red onion, lemon, black russian toast.
Soup:
- Minnestrone
Salad:
- Baby Rocket with grilled asparagus, crispy shallots, Dijon Mustard dressing
Main Course:
- NY Sirloin Medallions, Chateau potatoes, Haricot Vert, madeira juice
- Chicken Paillard, fennel, watercress salad, yukon potatoes, Basil vinaigrette
- Tamarind glazed Verlasso salmon, with Black Rice, sauteed bok choy, tomato and olive oil
- Falafel with grilled naan bread Tzaziki sauce and harissa
Dessert:
- Peach and Currant Crumble and Vanilla Ice Cream
Cheese:
- featuring 5 spoke welsh cheddar, persimmons and lavender honey
The tarte was spongy, fluffy, delicious, with a refreshing pesto. The cheese wasn't anywhere near overpowering.
The Sirloin medallions were a bit of a let-down. The sides were all undercooked - not so bad with nice beans, but unsatisfying with potatoes. The medallions themselves were nothing to write home about. The sauce was very good.

June desserts now added, just in time for young KARFA's arrival, who will doubtless note the Yorkshire sourced Rhubarb Cheesecake. This place certainly is a step up from the ANE lounge!

I think rhubarb cheesecake was on May's menu as well. I seem to think it was something like cheesecake with rhubarb three ways or something like that? I was temped to ask if the rhubarb was sourced from the rhubarb triangle

think this is probably the best 'forum' to post this.
was speaking to M the other week and the CCR refurb will be taking place overnight - no full closure. new carpets and new furniture have been signed off and will be installed / changed on numerous overnight work sessions.
