Service Question
Upon awaking in F on our recent SEA-LHR flight, the FA serviced the cabin from back to front for breakfast, the opposite of the dinner service. I was up front. Although I was one of the first to awaken, I was one of the last to be served, even a first cup of coffee, which I sorely needed. Granted I didn't ask, but the FA , fairly young and I believe new, was so busy working the cabin to the other back of cabin passengers, I felt uncomfortable asking. She approached each passenge , took their order then disappeared until the order was ready to be served, doing one passenger at a time. It took about 30 minutes or so to get my service.
Is this norm?
I felt this was one of the only annoying issues..... I need my early morning coffee.

As is is so often the case with these things - if you want something, ask for it!

Flying CW on 10th May from LHR to NRT. Just clicked on the Order meals button and once I get through to the next screen it says:
"
Is it likely that the choices will be offered at some point before the flight or is it to do with the catering changes with D&Co coming onboard? (or another possible reason?!)
"
- You will be served complimentary food and drinks on-board. Unfortunately, ordering your meal in advance is not available for this flight.

A quick question as Im getting ready for my First first , am I allowed to ask for more than I item from say the starters or desserts? I wouldnt want to give myself a showing up as my mother would say but do fancy trying the delice and charlotte from my menu . So far 7 of the 14 seats are taken but didnt know if they only load enough for each passenger. Im very excited but also nervous that I dont make a fool of myself especially as travelling solo.

In First I'd say the approach is "If you don't ask, you don't get", the crew will soon tell you if there's not sufficient loaded etc.

That's really the CW menu? All I get is a simple list of three mains to choose from, and none of them are that exciting.
