Yes that's still the November menu. Sometimes the change does happen a day or two in to the new month.

Due to the pressures on non passenger security, normally new menus are not introduced on a Monday or at weekends.

Menu for December - new main courses are ox cheek bourguignon (sans mushrooms and pearl onions, but very good) and spinach and winter salad.

Good grief, one of the most uninspiring menus ever 
and what’s that about replacing one apple blackberry dessert by another? Pretty sad.

On Black Friday, the soup of the day was Thai Black Lentil Soup, being appropriate for the day, and in particular for me, as I was a bit cold and also fond of the Thai cuisine. The soup was really delicious, and I hope to see it on the menu again.
Browsing through this month's menu, I became a little sceptical of the new starter item "Chapel and Swan Smoked Salmon..." Even though I cant recall ever eating anything being smoked in a chapel, but swan smoking of fish (or anything else for that matter) - is it even allowed? I thought swans were a protected species?

The new winter salad is mediocre, with an oily but tasteless dressing. The new Charlotte was poor. Not a Charlotte at all, more like a summer pudding with salty apples inside instead of berries.
couldnt bring myself to taste the ox cheek which looked rather sad at the table across so stuck to the sea bass which I think is a nice fish dish though I always ask for a lemon wedge to liven it up a bit...

Agree with your verdict on the winter salad.
The smoked salmon was ok, but tasted pretty much like supermarket salmon with a fancy name.
Overall a bit disappointing in terms of the new dishes.
Also notice that the lounge menu no longer has any kind of curry on it. Not sure if that is a new thing, I don’t look at it very frequently but my recollection is that there was always some sort of curry.

Maybe everything shouldn't be taken literally (I didn't notice the smiling face at first glance)
