This is from LHR-JFK last week. I thought it was good and the service was impeccable.
Light meal served about 90 mins before landing

Grease on the side of the plate and nobody has bothered to crumb down, I don’t think so! Good but not First Class standard.

That light meal looks a lot better than the afternoon tea effort. Not quite sure why flights on the same route don’t have the same offer (with the exception of the early breakfast one).

So much detail I could comment on, for example the protein on the plate should always be a 6 o’clock.

Does anyone know what the meal service might look like BOS LHR morning departure? Wondering if someone has menus from the day flights from any US east coast city? Thanks.

This looks like a huge amount of food for a 7 hour flight, god forgive me for saying this but almost too much! Is this definitely to JFK as it looks like the meals one would get to LAX?

The only thing myself and the crew could think of was afternoon tea was swapped for a light meal because of the 7pm arrival. If you arrive mid afternoon you're going to get some dinner in the city, but 7pm you might not have time to eat on arrival.
I will be totally honest with only 3 hours between services I would have preferred afternoon tea. At least there is the option of dine on demand to have the bigger meal before landing if you preferred.

The crew member working the galley had been with BA over 30 years, and the one serving was ex MF. It was great seeing them work together so well, and knowledge being passed between the old fleets. The IFM had been with BA the same length of time and was doing it because he enjoyed the job, and it really showed and cascaded down onto all the other crew.

Definitely JFK, I posted the menus earlier in the thread.

To be clear I am not saying that the service and crew were not very good, just that it wasn’t picture perfect.

, and I had the same thought when it was placed down.
