A few pictures to add.
This Sunday's BA8705 14:20 EDI - LCY, no glasses or mugs loaded, and this one appeared to have been catered locally...
BA8718 20:40 LCY - EDI return, this time with menu cards provided, but no appetiser...
And finally... Monday's (delayed) BA8711 07:10 EDI - LCY breakfast.

It’s pretty hard to make a stew look impressive, but this IPA beef stew with Parmesan polenta is absolutely delicious! The chocolate popping candy cheesecake is surprisingly rich.

Inbound: chicken tikka with saag aloo, pulled pork with Mexican quinoa and turtle beans, jerk chicken with black rice and quinoa
Vegetarian option is the same both ways but now changes in cycle.
I've tried the pulled pork and it's pretty good, definitely an improvement over anything on the old menu.

Baby gem lettuce with grated egg, crispy bacon and chives, with blue cheese dressing
Vietnamese vegetable curry with rice noodles (this isn't how it's presented - I mixed the sauce and crispy onions in before I remembered to take a photo!). This is a very good dish, the vegetables miraculously manage to retain some crunch and freshness.

BACF Vegetarian breakfast
Unlike mainline BA services, on BACF vegetarian breakfast is not an option by default, this must be preordered.
Scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, tomatoes and mushrooms, followed by bread, waffled and croissants.
No jam offered, but there was one spare on they had that I took.
Delicious, tasted better than it looks.
