'Menu Cards' would imply to me that full menus have been enhanced and that the CW/F menus are now the CE standard of old!

I remember even in WT being offered beef, chicken or pasta - and that was right down the back. Also remember WT+ when it was on china with two choices from CW.

I think an easier idea would be to add the menu to the inflight WiFi system, with a few paper copies loaded for those who don’t have a gadget. Of course that would only be possible when the full WiFi rollout is complete.

Is it not now (or at least, will it not be once normality resumes?) If it's just the same as Y that devalues W quite a lot to me. Not quite comfy enough to sleep + not quite as bad food as the back of the bus was pretty much the selling point in my head...

Club Europe Express, Domestic and Band 1 amalgamated; for breakfast these routes all get a hot handheld breakfast (eg. ham and cheese croissant).
And something new for the bar: Heineken 0.0% alcohol free beer

WTP catering is going back to being pretty similar to pre-covid. Differences are no pre-departure beverage, mid-flight snack is a biscuit and second meal will be in disposable packaging for all routes.

I am sure the alcohol free beer will go down well, especially with those who have to drive at each end.
It's a tad disappointing to hear about the breakfast offering on the shorter flights though; it's no match for a proper Full English. Do you know what will be served with the ham and cheese croissant?

Appears to be fruit salad and yogurt (or fruit salad and cereal bar on night-stoppers)

I couldn’t work out if it’s a just a warm croissant on domestics and Band 1 or if there’s a choice of hot breakfast and (maybe) warm or old croissant outbound and cold breakfast only inbound only.
