At about 15.30" this lad receives his stone cold and hard ham roll, which he's most disappointed with. Why can't they have a hot breakfast after a long flight from the Caribbean?

BA228 BWI-LHR 11-Sep-2022 WT:
Well, I sure there lots of different descriptions possible: the starter was in a very much over-sized container which was odd. The main was 'chicken with mash' - more like chicken with mush - it tasted okay, but was at best, mediocre. The key lime pie was okay - but basically shaving foam, rather than a more firm 'pie' texture.

Flew LHR-ORD in mid August and the second WT “meal” was a hot wrap. Unfortunately they hadn’t loaded enough everyone so those of us at the back got various components of the CW afternoon tea. Some got cake and some got two finger sandwiches. My son and I got a single plate of 2 sandwiches between us. Of course I gave them both to him and had nothing. I’ve written to complain but no reply so far.

I really struggling to understand how they will run out of the only option they have to give you. I understand if they have 2 types of wraps and they run out of one option but I never been on an airline that they run out of the “single option” they had. Looks like sometimes they run out of desserts in First. Ridiculous

WT 'dinner' BA293 LHR-IAD 16-Sep. Chicken Chasseur. Actually quite good - and filling with the bread roll. Dessert was a little bland though.

I often fly with my toddler, I would have been really annoyed if I were in your shoes, even if I had packed extra snacks.

How’s the drinks service on long-haul economy to LAS at the moment? Specifically, precovid we’ve been repeatedly annoyed when the drinks service ‘ran dry’ halfway across from Heathrow to Las Vegas.
Is it still the same, worse or better?

BWI-LHR WT 17-SEP. Same as last Sunday (see#139) chicken and mush (not surprising really). Declined, and got another (2) G&Ts.
Also declined 'breakfast' - neighbouring passenger got it, unwrapped it and immediately wrapped it up again 'I'm not eating THAT' - seemed to be a bread bun disguised as a croissant with a slice of processed cheese in it with some red bits that may have had a passing connection to a tomato.
Full English in the arrivals lounge much better!

...forgot to add... food service was somewhat slow... . We (rear WT section 787-8) got our breakfast <20 mins before landing - surprised they were still handing it out instead of preparing the cabin for landing (maybe explains why we got put in hold for 5 mins).
