I'd be tempted by the beef if it wasn't for the confusing description. Beef cheek implies slow cooking, but "barbecued"?
Not a fish fan so for hot meals that leaves me with what is basically bangers & mash or the flavour puzzle that is the pasta option.
Will avoid pre-ordering and quiz the crew on the day I think, unless anybody has encountered this menu before and has a recommendation.
The cheese selection appears remarkably dull, unless that Double Gloucester is a particularly fine unpasteurised example.
Starters
- Seared tuna with tonnato sauce and olive tapenade
- Warm plum tomato tart tatin with sour cream and basil pesto
- Pumpkin soup with caramelized pumpkin and fried sage
- Fresh seasonal salad with a choice of Caesar dressing or red wine vinaigrette dressing
Main
- Barbecued Heritage beef cheek with chunky chips, seared asparagus and vine on cherry tomatoes
- Pan fried Panko encrusted swordfish and Atlantic salmon, served with lobster and passionfruit bisque and creamy black risotto
- Duchy originals pork sausages with potato puree, seasonal vegetables and caramelised red onion jus
- Homemade mascarpone ravioli with fragrant lemon sauce, broccoli florets and lemon chips
- Fresh figs chanterelle and pomegranate salad with warm breast of spring chicken and balsamic dressing
Desserts
- Crispy dark chocolate bar with salted caramel sauce
- Warm plum and almond tart served with vanilla crème anglaise
- Vanilla ice cream
Cheese Board
- Coulommier
- Double Gloucester
- Cropwell Bishop Stilton

Hi all, I have the following on BA143 to DEL next month:
Starters
-Seared scallop with smoked salmon and crab Boudin Blanc, salsify purée, compressed apple and Thai shallots
-Papdi chaat with aloo bonda, hara bahra, vegetable pakora and tamarind chutney
-Chicken consomme with fresh mushroom tortellini
-Fresh seasonal salad with a choice of classic extra virgin olive oil vinaigrette dressing or blue cheese dressing
Mains
-Pressed shoulder of British lamb with chervil ratte potatoes, broad bean purée, sautéed king oyster mushroom, chargrilled spring onions and Bordelaise sauce
-Matar paneer and jeera pilau with tamarind okra

-Main course salad of Loch Fyne kinglas smoked salmon with Burford brown poached egg, asparagus, roasted herb new potatoes and hollandaise sauce
Has anybody tried the pan fried stone bass? I do like the sound of some of the Indian options, but with two weeks of Indian food ahead of me I feel like something else may be a good idea...!

I liked the bass. Others on here have taken a different view. I also liked the salmon salad.

I need to be careful what I eat due to occasional IBS reactions. There's no info on Special meals and I don't want to end up choosing one and ending up with a tasteless plate.

Hope this doesn't count as being off topic, but:
I appreciate things can change with two weeks still to go, and I don't know for sure about 1A/K, but my flight to Delhi on the 18th currently appears to only have me and my partner in F. I'm not sure that I want to preorder as I may change my mind on the day, but if we end up being the only two pax in the cabin, am I right in thinking they likely won't load two of each meal so I may not end up with my first choice from the menu?
If I do preorder, will they likely just load what I ordered and nothing else?

Correct there won't be two of everything loaded, they will still cater a full menu even if you choose your main course.
Which seats have you chosen, I see that both flights are on the B787-9?

Thanks CIHY. Currently in 2E/2F...I'd assume there's no huge difference between row 1 and row 2. Chose 2 as it's that little bit further from the loo/galley. It's my partner's first First, and my first 787 First so very much looking forward to it!

I can't help wondering what 'Best of heritage beef' means - especially as it will be accompanied by gnocci in a 'curry and mustard sauce' - I am feeling adventurous so might try it - MrD is having the fish.
He is very glad to see soup being offered as a starter.
