Well our pudding last week on lhr to mco had a do and co chocolate disk on it. Problem is BA have given them Ł2.50 budget for club meal so there's a limit on what you can do

i got an initial form response to my original complaint re the meal but i responded because i initially failed to note the club europe aspects of the food and they changed the response up a bit lol:
A copy of the feedback you've raised about our portion sizes and reduced breakfast option, has been sent to our Management team. Our Chairman and CEO, Sean Doyle, appreciates your feedback. They'll use this when reviewing our service to ensure we improve our catering.
that said, i did receive a voucher for my complaints re the first dining issues i encountered which admittedly was a shock. and would have appreciated the avios instead but hey, not looking a gift horse in the mouth here.

Agreed, it’s pathetic. And even a gourmet one in a gastro-pub hasn’t ever tried to masquerade as anything more than a bar snack for Ł4.

It’s a pasty.
I started twitching when Qantas served a Cornish ‘pastie’ but for BA to make a worse error, words fail me.

To expand on the menu yesterday.. rather self explanatory but I had the pork followed by the pre-landing ricotta and avocado dish. My OH had the
The food was fine but nothing to write home about. I'd complain about starters and soup etc but just glad to be travelling.

Pork is an interesting choice - roast pork is good with me. But it’s all very school dinners. IMHO this is NOT best of British.
Cheese selection totally uninspiring.
Menu has multiple typos. I expect we’ve now landed at the other extreme. Twenty years ago, no doubt the menu went through about ten different departments including brand, but now it’s probably edited by someone on an ipad whilst watching Strictly.
Just by comparison, this is what Avanti (formerly Virgin West Coast) are serving on their Birmingham to London trains. ~ 1 hour 5 mins from Coventry to Euston.

I've seen quite a few people ask about the current KSML offer in CW but I have not seen anyone answer - anybody with recent experience (or even better menus/photos)? Thanks!
