Just realised that a menu made it into my bag on the way back from IAD...
I'm afraid I didn't sample any of it except toast for breakfast as it was the late flight and I went straight to sleep but I heard that the crab and salmon starter was very nice.

I notice that I've never seen mention of any
​​​​​decaffeinated tea or coffee on any menu. Seems like a simple thing to have. Anybody know?

Thanks. It seems such an obvious thing to have. Maybe they just have some and don't mention it.

Thank you. I wonder why it's not on any current menu.

I’m guessing it is just taken as standard to have these available.

Have to say I was very pleased with food on Friday's BA296 (ORD:LHR).
The beef cheeks were very tasty and tender, way more preferable to the tough overcooked fillet steaks which are all too often the beef choice on the menu.

I’ve received the menu for next month’s May LHR - SIN. It is the same as the above apart from the removal of 2 snacks: no more Tri colour quinoa salad and no more Laksa goreng. We had that menu last January SIN - LHR.
Has anyone tried the Smoked duck starter and the classic risotto for mains?

Hi All

Apologies for gatecrashing - how are you getting the menus (obv. not those of you posting pictures!)?

We are on BA109 (DXB) on 31st May and 104 on 7th Jun and whilst seeing the menu in advance is of no importance what so ever it might help me pass the time ahead of the flight :-)

You can contact You First 30 days before the flight to request menus and wine lists etc.
