Thought I’d add in some kids meals from a recent flight as you don’t often see them online.
I was pretty impressed by the offering. Hopefully the images are not sideways from an iPhone upload.
Kids fruit salad starter and additional snack items. Side salad and bread are the same as adults.
Kids Chicken dippers main course.
Kids starter of fruit and veg crudités.
Kids main of crispy chicken and mac&cheese.

My last flight a few days ago was in CW to the Caribbean. Main meal was OK but afternoon tea would not have satisfied a dormouse! Two TINY 'sandwiches' and apart from the usual scones with clotted cream, nothing else. Given that these flights are around 8 hours and lunch was completed less than two hours in, I thought that it was a very poor show.

I'm not sure what the cut- off time is for getting a 2nd meal.

BA163 LHR TLV 13 Jan. CW (A350): Decent meal, took quite a while even at front of forward cabin but great crew. Some won't be impressed by the food slop to the edges of the main but it tasted good. (Beef starter, chicken curry main and cheese, glorious cheese! 
)

I want to ask about ice cream. Sometimes on my route (LGW > PUJ) the CC's come round with ice creams at some point between the main meal (lunch) and afternoon tea. And sometimes they don't. Is an ice-cream service, or any intermediate service between lunch and afternoon tea normal in CW? I realise that you can go to the galley and ask for drinks (and I presume ice-creams) but I just wondered if other flights get these served as standard.

Icecreams on longer flights in CW would be in the Club Kitchen for you to help yourself, many of us come around First and CW with any spare Magnums left over for the WT cabins but this is not standard and won’t happen on every flight.

So basically the WT Plus customers get served an ice cream, and if there are any left overs, these are given to CW passengers. Seems the opposite of how things should be. I guess the logic is that CW passengers have the Club Kitchen, but I'm pretty sure that the ice creams aren't well displayed and unless you knew they were available, you wouldn't get them. A bit like the chocolates that disappeared from the meal trays.

The Magnums are a part of the WT cabins product offering, originally there was only enough for the WT cabin but this has been increased to include WT plus.
When ice creams are loaded in the Club Kitchen there are only 18 loaded in 3 flavours so not enough to offer around the cabin, they are in the fridge in a box along with the fresh food offerings.
Very often the ice creams melt before they are all eaten as they are only kept frozen by dry ice and when customers help themselves the box is often left partially open.

I feel differently about this one. I'm not sure why it's the opposite of what it should be? It's not offered as part of the CW menu and if another cabin has it, why should CW have it and them not? I fly mainly CW now, but if flying WT or WTP, not sure why getting an ice cream should be dependent on CW not wanting them. They never hand out left over LPGS to lower cabins, so not why it should work the other way. I'd imagine many people (of course not everyone?) don't want ice cream after a 3 course meal and snacks in the lounge, whereas a small magnum goes a long way for someone who is in WT and whose meal was rather small. Magnums are not even very nice
