Cheese Plate
Dorstone Ash
Made at Dorstone Farm, on the Hereford/Welsh border, the Dorstone Ash is a semi-soft cheese made from unpasteurised goat's milk, using animal rennet, It has a crisp white colour that contrasts with blue-ish grey colour of its edible rind, resulting from the coating of ash applied to it. Its texture varies from being fluffy to flaky, depending on its maturity, and its flavour has a slight nuttiness on the rind.

Red Storm
Smartly dressed in vivid red wax, gloriously complex taste due to its 18-21 month maturation the provide the vintage credentials of flavour, finishing on notes of caramel, the Red Storm totally redefines what you might expect from a red Leicester.

Thomas Hoe Smooth Blue
A quintessentially English cheese, Smooth Blue is borne from a century of dairy farming and cheese making expertise on the country estate of the Duke of Rutland. It is hand crafted with a soft creamy texture, and a mild blue taste. It is gentle and delicated compared to other blues on the market, yet it has that recognisable blue flavour. Unusually, it is crafted to be eaten straight from the fridge.

Served with apple and Somerset cider brandy chutney and biscuits.

The Dining menu is offered in the Concorde Dining area, and the Lounge menu - which is shared with the First Lounge next door - is offered elsewhere, see post 582 and discussion thereafter, but yes you can order any item from any place in CCR. In addition to the published menu, the following items are offered from the First Lounge in the afternoon and onwards: bread rolls, toast, sandwiches (ready to go always available but you can ask for custom made sandwiches), egg dishes such as scrambled eggs and omelettes, biscuits, ice creams (several flavours), nuts, savoury snacks and olives. From approx 14:00 to 18:00 hrs, scones and cakes are available (typical examples, Victoria Sponge and Fruit Loaf). There are also a few cold desserts available in the afternoon and evening (e.g. profiteroles). There are two hot Kosher dishes available, these need a bit more time to be prepared, so allow 20 minutes for this.

JFK CCR menu:

I'll take photos of the dishes I have and will post when I am back home as I will use my proper camera for that.

I am also addicted to the wasabi peas in here!

It looks like it hasn't changed since December.

Ah ok. Anything you recommend? I was thinking lobster then turkey.

Really like the bisque indeed. I had the rack of lamb which I liked (I remember another poster saying he didn't) maybe because I asked it medium rare to rare (which ensured it was medium rare!) :)

I see that the salad has actually changed. Some friends really like the December super food salad if you were in the mood for healthy stuff ;)

Thanks. Healthy stuff can wait, the diet starts on Thursday ;)

Good answer! ;) BTW, the staff did say good things about the turkey too but I was flying just before Christmas so was worried about turkey overload, but if that was your first instinct, their reaction suggests it probably is a good one too! Enjoy, whatever you choose!

Could someone post a picture of the breakfast menu for January 2016 at the CCR in LHR?
The menu itself might be the same as last year's, but there's something I want to check.
Thanks in advance!

I think that was me. Like you, I absolutely loved the bisque. In fact, I ended up having two bowls, it was so good. The lamb, however, I found to be bland and under seasoned. Perhaps the chef was having a lazy day! The worst thing for me, though, was the rather nasty, deconstructed cheesecake. It was a completely pointless and badly presented dish. Quite out of character with the usual New York, CCR fare.

The breakfast menu rarely changes, the one in post 2 is very likely the one you will find on your visit.

I'm in a LHR Cabana now and the menu there isn't the same. The best thing on the breakfast menu is the breakfast sandwich and that was rather dry I thought.

But maybe the menus in the cabanas are old because the wine menu was labeled November 2015.

corporate-wage-slave Jan 6, 2016 2:52 am

See post 1, you seem to have the lounge menu rather than the dining menu. More information in the 1 December postings in last year's thread.

Feel free to type it up for everyone else's benefit!

The cabanas have the 'Concorde Lounge Menu' not the 'Concorde Dining Menu' which is listed supra.

Point of Order: Is this the correct topic to discuss the dining options/menus of the JFK (and IAD/SIN) offerings? If so, perhaps the topic title should be changed accordingly?
