Also booked to SFO in F in April with this menu. I was a little intrigued by the lack of advertised carbs with the mains (excluding the ravioli, obviously, and ignoring the bread sauce), normally BA mentions the carb element. I wonder if they will come unadvertised, or if BA is going reduced carb in F (which is ok with me)? I think I will go for the halibut and hope it's not overcooked.

I have the same as the Kuala Lumpur menu to SAN on 20.3.19. Except being the 'old/current offer' there is one less main. (Somewhat bemused of the timing of my first first!) Currently have the stone bass ordered - any good? I have read too many horrors stories about the steak which would have been my natural choice.

Timing of Meal?
Quick question about timing. Our menu just posted for a LHR-SEA flight ( same as what Gomac posted above) . Our flight leaves at 9:30 AM ( London time). At what point in this 9 hour flight is the meal served? What would they serve before landing? Thanks.

Service is still the long haul standard under ~5000 miles of bar + hot meal after take off, then light meal around 90 minutes from landing (afternoon tea on dayflights departing London before 5pm under 5000 miles).
