Club World catering bands

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find out the catering bands for BA's Club World long-haul service. I'm interested in particular in finding out which US-bound flights have an improved second meal service.
Apologies if there is a thread with this information, but I did search the forum and didn't manage to find it.
Many thanks in advance!

There is no bands as such, which routes are you interested in?

I'd be quite interested in the typical offering on BA288 PHX-LHR in CW
Thanks

That would be a main evening meal on departure and a full breakfast nearer to arrival. The main New CW thread will have examples of recent USA-UK meals, though they do vary between outstations and the menu changes monthly, anything from PHX, SAN, SFO, LAX would be fairly typical.

Hot dinner and hot breakfast, typically a choice of 2 starters, plus soup and salad, 3 main courses, 4 desserts one being hot and cheese.

SJC, LAS, PHX, SAN all get the second meal instead of afternoon tea, it’s only really the bottom left corner of the US that does. MIA SEA and the other short ones are all the old dry sandwiches with cakes etc.

Crazy, given that SEA is only 470 miles closer (or less than one hour's flying) than PHX, for example.

AUS is only 350 miles closer, still more than 10 hours westbound, and still only gets afternoon tea. Got to draw the line somewhere, but for me that line should sit just beyond JFK/BOS/PHL.

How about BA196 from IAH departing 20:25. What catering can I expect in CW?

Full dinner after departure, and a card to fill in and hand back to the crew indicating your breakfast preference (wake me / dont wake me / hot breakfast / quick cold breakfast)

Not exactly, a choice of a cold starter or soup served with a small salad, a choice of 3 mains the a hit or child dessert and cheese.
Breakfast will be a continental type plus a choice of a vegetarian or meat based hot sandwich.
