Such a relief this was not a thread about the Police.

But you don't get to enjoy the exclusive M&S menu 😁

I can only think it's the M&S menu, but it never affected me much because the route I've flown the most frequent in economy (LHR-NCL) was apparently too short to serve them.

Hi,

I agree it is probably the Bob menu as I flicked through it on my last flight ( I was in CE though) and did not see them.

I think they've been gone for a while, I was looking forward to one when I happened to be in ET to Berlin back in October and it was gone from the menu. Another oddity was I saw the M&S menu in CW on a recent flight on a midhaul A321. I know they're sometimes used for shorthaul routes but are the business seats ever used as EuroTraveller?

If they’ve gone that’s great; they were never any good. Good riddance.

I thought they were better than most of the reheated variety. For example the LNER 'James Martin' bacon roll that's sold in standard class was similar to the M&S one but it only had one type of bacon, I quite liked the mix of two types of bacon that the M&S one offered.

Of course there was a difference between the heated variety sold at the buffet on LNER and the first class one which was freshly cooked but I think a bacon roll works any time of the day.

I couldn't find anything inspiring in the current M&S menu last time I looked at it, the most interesting item (although I've not tried it) had 'not an M&S product' next to the description!

Are bacon rolls still on the return leg of West Coast US flights? As I'm no longer a regular on that route I don't know if it if/when it changed - I slept until 20 mins out from landing last month when flying that way, (so missed the service) to wake to a freshly brewed tea waiting in front of me thanks to the staff member in charge of the upper deck. ^
