It will most likely be the same cws posted but please do confirm and also you'll see the return one which we have not so thanks indeed for posting and telling us what you think of it!

Apologies, I didn’t see the one CWS posted. If it’s any different, I’ll post a pic 👍

Not sure if these have been posted already but just received them from You First. LHR BOS 213 and BOS LHR 238 for Aug. Had to take screenshots as the files sent are too large to upload here. I haven't included the snack page from the 238 as it's similar. Personally I'm very happy with the menu and I've decided to cancel my gluten free and choose from this.

Good to see the soup in the menu, that if you like soup of course.

The Lindt truffles persist I see, no sign of a return to Lauden Chocolates.

As he says, big improvement from where it’s been but still no where near a true first product. Remains a club world plus offer.

just flew QR first and catering was on very different level with caviar available.

”Brandygate” was a new one on me. I haven’t seen Otard in lounges for a long time. Now I know why

Ah, the caviar question has always been quite divisive on this forum. Shortly before Covid, BA had started introducing token presence of caviar in F (either in the canapes or in one of the starters) so as someone who loves caviar I hope it returns. Others like Tobias UK are not keen.

On the broader question I'd be really interested in knowing what you had on QR as I actually found the QR F food rather underwhelming (effectively very similar to their J food with the addition of caviar and one additional dish) so I'm interested to know if they have finally changed things to make it special. My personal favourites for F food and drink are JL and AF (in very different ways) and I quite like LX too (though a lot less). Both AF and JL offer caviar but it's mostly "the rest" I find very impressive (ie a number of other airlines also offer caviar but do not impress me as much with the rest of their menus).

In any case, it looks like BA F is now essentially back to pre-pandemic which is already a good start as far as I am concerned after what looked rather underwhelming in recent months. (bar the chocolate!)

He clearly hasn't compared the above with the current Club World then. Club World is more like Club Europe or 'slightly better than WTP' right now.

If you travel to, say, LAX, on CW, I'd be very disappointed with the single tray meal. It's really not much better than you get on CE on a 2 hour flight to Ibiza!

First meals above look a tonne better than the current CW!

BA announced a few days ago they launched a few new menu items, with additional updates coming to Club World cabins later this year.

Anybody know if the scrambled eggs for breakfast are still cooked "fresh" onboard? Pre-covid they were cooked on board rather than just reheated.

Yes, but that isn't now is it and there's nothing definitive coming in CW yet. We're talking here and now, now 'what might happen'.

That's like saying Liverpool is planning to buy a world class striker, in November, whilst sitting at the bottom of the Premiership in August.
