Salad with bread roll, dessert and generous drinks, not unlimited on our 10.40 flight to JTR, JMK should be similar. Are you flying on a weekday or Sunday?

This is the breakfast from Dublin to London City in EuroTraveller on BA CityFlyer.
It's the same all the time and is pretty good for a short flight.
I figured someone had better post a picture in this thread, now all we need is some of the other flight timings.

Why not just have domestic arrivals decant into the departure lounge like every other country? Just need to put in a one way door to allow exit from departure lounge to baggage claim. Since LCY already separates international arrivals they should be in compliance with the rules.

This route gets bacon rolls etc until 9.30am and a cold meal (salad, bread roll, brownie/soft cheese) 12:00-13:59 and popcorn/biscuits/crisps at all other times. Note that the lunch is based on whether the flight is in the air at that time rather than the departure time. So corporate-wage-slave is correct to say it’ll be snacks. Plenty loaded so just ask for extras if you’re hungry.
The return (same aircraft stays on the ground until 17:55) had a very strange "dinner" service consisting of hot meal, salad & scones. No menus. No drinks till 30 minutes afterwards. LCY seems wildly inconsistent with service. At least with mainline you know what to expect (and can plan accordingly).

This was the simple popcorn/crisps/biscuits on the 10:20 last week when I flew it - whilst hoping for this light lunch service.

Presumably you were in Euro Traveller on the way out and Club Europe on the way back? During the summer LIN is a special case and gets scones instead of a dessert for the return because the usual mousse or cheesecake desserts can't stay cold enough during the turnaround and end up turning to liquid.
The aircraft was pretty warm on boarding again, but they didn't take the usual precautionary measures of closing the window blinds and keeping the overhead aircon nozzles on during the turnaround. Cools down pretty quickly again once that started.

Wow, you do learn something new every day (and that one sounds a bit crazy to be honest!)
