This thread gives the current catering options for the Galleries First Lounge (Flounge) in LHR Terminals 3 and 5. This lounge is open to BAEC Gold and oneworld Emerald card holders. Passengers flying BA on a First ticket can also use the Concorde Room. The catering supplier was changed on 2 May 2013 to BaxterStorey. Click here to see the former thread, which covered that turbulent period.
The T3 lounge is identical to T5 in terms of food and drink options. However there is no Concorde Room in T3 so from 18:30 hrs there is a pre-flight dining option for First travellers, see here for more details.
The current catering options in the First lounge can be found in the first post in the thread, or you can click here. Currently lounge menus are not always on display in the lounge, but this link may be your best bet to see the options.

I believe the large quantity of various non alcoholic beverages was to give people some 'enjoyable options' if they were doing Dry January. Or so I was told ...

I'm a recent addition to the massed ranks of Goldies so still finding my way around the different offerings in GF compared to GC. Does seem a step up overall. (cue comments about how it could hardly be down etc!)
That gin bar at QF T3 looks great. Thanks for the pic Finavia. Sadly we are not passing through there until March and then around 6am
Even for a Scotsman thats possibly just a smidge early to be starting. I will need to find an excuse to take Mrs BertieB to VIE or BCN

There are some very odd drinks in the Flounge at the mo. There used to be gorgeous gin but now it is cranberry spritzer, rhubarb & cardamom soda and raspberry & apple water. I think folk are clinging to the fever tree band wagon. My advice is to get off it, and stick to investment banking.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that choice though, and not have to be bound by exclusivity deals left right and centre?

It's not. I don't have the current menu, sorry. Last time I was in GF I had quite a nice ham salad (though I suspect it might have had more fat in it than a burger).

The burger is always on there with a few more items. It should change again tomorrow. Usually the same items as the CCR lounge menu minus the club sandwich.
The curry was quite nice, although could do with a naan bread to go with it.
