On my menu for the starters there are 4 choices, smoked salmon, mezze platter, soup and a salad, is it a starter or a salad or can you have the salad as well as the starter? I flew CW a few years ago and I’m sure I had a starter and a salad? Has this now been reduced?

Is this the catering you are referring to?
So the LGW catering has been updated to the new catering?

Watch out for the "prawn cocktail" starter! It's a beautiful presentation consisting of TWO (2) small prawns with lettuce and lots of sauce to fill the plate. I guess it's good the BA is so stingy as only skinny passenger can fit in the Club World seats anyway....

To update previous posts I have made in respect of the ability to deliver the new hand-run service in a timely manner: On the 788 with a good (in this case MF) crew it’s possible to deliver a comprehensive, efficient, tailored service, and do it well
And the catering remains well ahead of before - even from much maligned (by me, at least) outstations such as Johannesburg.

My companion didn't think much of the breakfast card idea on a recent JNB-LHR:
