Note, some, but not all, links in this Wiki are temporarily not working or pointing to the wrong place, this will be sorted within the next few days.

This thread gives the current catering options for the Concorde Room (CCR), which is airside by South Security. 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:

I have a photo of the menu on my other phone; I'll see if I can master adding this on my mobile. If not, I'll drunkenly type up later.
Still getting over the shock of a Lurkerwilf-less Tuesday- it was very calm 😉

Goodness - I hope he's OK. But yes please, any update would be much appreciated since I'm in the USA this week.

Voila! Sorry the cheese has been cut.
The staff told me that LW appeared yesterday, probably to catch them out ��

Pumpkin ravioli sounds nice but as a starter and like the sound of the lemon sole and the pudding, but mushroom on toast? blah...

Sadly nothing strange about the pork staying: all dishes stay two months (menu rotated by half) so the pork barely reached mid-life crisis!

Perhaps you can type the cheese - that's changed from last month. But many thanks for that technical feat, which eludes some of my fellow ambassadors! I guess LW got fog-shifted.

Ah, so disappointing that I am not there this evening. Am in London and awaiting my train at KGX. However, whilst sat in the seminar this afternoon I was toying with getting an RFS to the last flight to MAN until I had remembered I bought two bottles of whisky earlier on and wouldn't get them through security. At least they will keep me company on the train home.

Sorry CWS, I'm on board now and don't have any further info re the cheese.

That ravioli was OK; I prefer a sauce for such things.
I don't mind seeing the pork again; after the first time when it still had a pulse, it's nice if you ask them to cook it well done (sounds ridiculous but hey).
I am no longer a Luddite, just a crap photographer....

Sadly no flying for me for a few weeks now so I will have to wait until late in November to try anything on the new menu.
These croquettes were in GF menu in September or October, really nothing special. Okay when enhanced with cheddar cheese from the cold buffet.

It's a lottery these days; I saw 2 women being allowed to bring through a clear non-conforming wash bag this evening, containing volumes of
Liquids that would keep me in hair product for life.
I also saw a young couple who fell foul of SFO putting booze in a poppet-sealed bag and who had it confiscated- I was that angry soldier 2 years ago

After silk cut's valiant efforts at recording the November menu, we need a further community minded volunteer to find out:

- the cheese menu on the Dining menu
- the lounge menu for November


Any intelligence gratefully received. For the record the September Concorde Room T5 Dining menu was:

Starters

- Soup of the day
Please ask your host for today's choice of soup, served with freshly baked breads.

- Springs Smokery salmon
with horseradish mascarpone cream

- Mezze plattter (new)
featuring baba ghanoush, red pepper hummus, artichoke caviar, Khobez bread and grilled vegetables


Main courses

- Pressed shoulder of West Country lamb
with samphire and flageolet beans and sweet redcurrant jus.

- Heirloom tomato salad
with Blue Monday cheese and buttermilk dressing

- Crab and squid ink tortellini
with lobster bisque

- Spanish style potato and manchego croquette
with piquillo pepper coulis and baby wild roquet

Desserts

- Chocolate and raspberry torte
with mixed berry compôte and raspberry tuile

- Mango and passionfruit dome
with raspberry tuile

- Seasonal fruit salad
with fruit syrup.


Cheese Plate

Isle of Mull Cheddar
From award winning cheesemakers Geoff and Brendan Reade on the Isle of Mull, this cheddar is traditionally handmade using unpasteurised milk from the family's herd of Friesian cows. Occasionally, naturally blue veins can develop in the cheese during maturation.

Cooleeney
Handmade Irish cheese in the style of Camembert, made by Jim and Brenda Maher in Co. Tipperary. Made with high quality pasteurised cow's milk from their own Friesian herd. It has a rich, semi-liquid interior with a soft, velvety texture and a smooth, robust mushroomy flavour.

Milleens
The aroma of Milleens is all about farmyards, wet rocks and heather. This soft-rind cheese is firm yet supple, with hints of butter, herbs and cream, and the sweet-sour taste associated with genuine Trappist cheeses. Norman and Veronica Steele make Milleens with pasteurised milk from Friesian cows.
For the record the September Lounge menu was:

- BA Burger
British Aberdeen Angus beef, a milk-glazed roll, tomato and onion salsa, baby gem lettuce, cherry tomatoes and dill pickle, accompanied by twice-cooked chips. Ask your host if you would like to add crispy back bacon or mature English Cheddar.

- Club sandwich
Chicken breast, sweet-cured back bacon, egg mayonnaise, tomato and lettuce, served with Kettle chips. Choose toasted granary or white bread.

- Warm brie ciabatta (new)
With cranberry jelly, candied walnuts and wild rocket

- Heirloom tomato salad
with Blue Monday cheese and buttermilk dressing

- Spanish style potato and manchego croquette
with piquillo pepper coulis and baby wild roquet

- Chicken laksa
with steamed rice, tomato, cucumber, red onion, coconut shavings and mustard seeds.
For the record the October Dining menu was:

Starters
- Soup of the day
Please ask your host for today's choice of soup, served with freshly baked breads.

- Somerset charcuterie
with home pickled quail egg, Beauvale cheese and damson jelly.

- Mezze plattter (new)
featuring baba ghanoush, red pepper hummus, artichoke caviar, Khobez bread and grilled vegetables


Main courses

- Trio of pork
with apple and celeriac purée, roasted heritage carrots and heather honey jus.

- Crab and squid ink tortellini
with lobster bisque

- Spanish style potato and manchego croquette
with piquillo pepper coulis and baby wild roquet

- Grilled halloumi salad
with orange, baby spinach, mint and toasted pine kernels.

I don't have the necessary levels of charm to get away with that sadly. No real world flying for me for nearly three weeks now.
