It also gives the menu used in the First Dining Room in LHR T3 after 18:30 hrs for First passengers. This lounge is open to passengers flying BA on a First ticket or Concorde card holders. The catering supplier is BaxterStorey, who took over the contract on 2 May 2013.

The current catering options in the LHR CCR can be found in the first post in the thread, or you can click here.

There are also photo guides (updated with December menu) which you can see in the following linked posts:

Thanks. I know a number of airlines (notably Asian) explicitly forbid it so I wasn't sure what BA's policy would be.

Charred baby leeks were great, albeit not very substantial. The capers "salsa verde" the capers were GREEN indeed), overpowered the fish, but fish was perfectly cooked (I must have been lucky on Thu), and the chocolate mousse dessert was amazing. I am sure it has been mentioned a ton of times, but can I post pics from an IPad, and will be happy to share the pics

Yes, please do share photos if only so I may use them for the photo guide to the dishes. I am trying to sample a few of the new ones this afternoon but I have limits to how much I can manage! I don't have the appetite of chris1979

Lounge menu for March, I think the dining menu has been posted already.



If anyone can try and take photos of the new items I would be very grateful as I won't have chance to do so today.

Will be there tomorrow and intend to try the chargrilled leeks and the new cheese plate so will try to take pics of those two... I want to give the duck another chance (mine was not very good when I tried it, but Tobias-UK told me his was so I'm keen on giving it another shot!) and the lemon-orange dessert is lovely so I want to keep having it while it lasts!

Let's hope my first time is ontime so I have time for my full meal before connection leaves!!

I had the duck and thought it was quite good. Certainly would have it again. Do give it another go and see whether you change your mind.

The new menu is A4!

Have we discussed this? I got pics I'll upload once I've had 1 starter and 3 mains.

And soft cover - even the smaller drinks ones.

Ditto in Flounge (and yes it has been mentioned, and the photos are in the post above, the menu itself in post 1, though KARFA probably still wants the food pics to admire in Widnes).

Yes, I don't think that has been specifically noted so far - I meant to say something on Sunday. That change has happened along with the change to the March menu.

Ha, yes. No lunch provided here at all although I should get to finish early and head back across the M62 before the traffic builds.

I have still to update the photo guide for March, but I will do it this weekend.

Tried the others. They are
Kippers
American styl pancakes with smokey bacon mars carping and maple syrup
Eggs Benedict
California eggs Benedict. Sour dough bread avocado chilli tomato. Yummy
And the usuals of smoked salmon eggs etc.

Lunch is next.
I can't add photos. Sorry I'm challenged.
