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 think we better get back to the First dining room, gentlemen? Anyone for tapas?

Chinese for me, homecooked by one of my team members. Incidentally I had very nice Chairman Mao's pork belly in Qantas F in LAX to get back on topic

Downloading pictures of 'Naughty Nicola' from one of your dodgy websites doesn't count! 
So, back to the menu... I haven't been in GF for a while, but from what I read here (Mac and Cheese, venison), it sounds like the menu is rather similar to the CCR. Is that the case?

The lounge menu in the CCR is shared with the GF. This has been the case since the lounge menu was introduced in the CCR - which I think happened in early 2016.
