My main query was when the satay would come and every time as it would have been too late for me, they managed to bring me some a bit earlier, which was much appreciated...

Not sure if you are aware, there is now a hot food menu provided in the CCB and all the dishes are available from opening, including the chicken satay, a curry dish and a steak and cheese sandwich. There is only a small selection (4 or 5 items) but the food always arrives nice and hot. There is no longer any hot help-yourself food, that area now has lite bites, including hummus, flatbreads, olives etc.

Ah no I did not know (or did not notice if it's been there a long time) but yes, that's basically exactly mirrors my experience there except that I thought they were offering this as a one off and not that it was actually standard!! Works a lot better for me in any case, I do not like buffets and will always prefer a small selection made to order to a large selection waiting on hot plates! ^
One other thing I've noticed, the staff inside the CCB have been turning away the 'chancers'. On my last 2 or 3 visits the staff have been asking people their seat numbers if they see an unfamiliar face and sending them on their way if they do not have entitlement. |
A new menu for CCR at JFK launches this evening. Overhearing the chef who has just conducted a briefing with the staff, it seems to contain a number of old dishes that have been popular in the past. Not seen it yet, but will reveal more soon.

I was in the JFK CCR room on Tuesday last week and the pork belly pictured was simply a piece of inedible fat and gristle, I had to send it back and have the Lamb instead however the croque madame starter was reasonably good

Really sad as I was so excited for an upcoming trip through. Likely just head to CW dining (which I always think is diverse and quite decent) and then CCR for drinks. Whats currently on offer for champers? Any interesting new drinks? I heard a rumor last time I was through they were thinking of serving some specialty sodas. |

Champagne is Laurent Perrier NV - which it has been for a while now. Others tell me occasionally LPGS makes an appearance, although I haven't seen it myself. I think they are just trying to wind me up :) |
Sin ccr bar. Champagne is Joseph Perrier brut which is ok but not lpgs. Fire gully cab sauvignon is rather lovely though.https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d9c24ba332.jpg

Wow, whats going on in the IAD Concorde Dining room. The Nespresso machine is still broken (Last two visits I was told the same thing). They are now serving a sparkling wine Veuve de Vernay, oddly enough during a recent trip with United through IAD their Global First lounge had self-serve Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose and Moet & Chandon Imperial.
|
They are pouring pommery by default at JFK unless you ask for LP..... Bear that in mind when ordering :)
