This is all embarrassing.
I’m a very loyal customer and having had my habits broken by Covid I think my choice of carrier may well change next year.
I just want good service and food if paying for business class. It’s not that hard, hopefully the market will decide (eg they realise bookings are awful) and therefore change the approach for BA sooner rather than later

I’m all for slating BA’s current catering, but it helps to be accurate.

With all that's been discussed on this thread I'm now very confused about this post. I thought Club Europe was currently always either a bag or box? This shows plated courses of some degree! ?

As the quoted OP said, he was in ET, not CE, so this was a Plane Food picnic hamper which costs £18.50

Sorry my poor attempt at a joke, CWS is correct, just illustrating how good a DIY CE experience can be!

How many of you have actually communicated your dissatisfaction to BA? You know how they work - they squeeze until the pips squeak - as I have said many times before - posting here may make you feel better about yourself, but it will not help matters.You need to complain and make your threats/promises/ plans known. I intend to do exactly that. This nonsense has gone on long enough. They allegedly are practically sterilising the aircraft and handing out junk food down the back? Now there's joined up thinking for you.

Maybe someone will notice.. probably not, but at least it is raising the issue!

Agreed, maybe everyone should put their thoughts forward about catering below:

My +1 requires lactose-free meals (NLML) and BA not providing these certainly doesn't help. I tried to source them from Fortnum&Mason at LHR and sent feedback to BA.
Our 8 longhaul F segments are non-essential and give little revenue to BA but I cannot imagine how much revenue BA looses due to not offering special meals on SPML-heavy routes.
I've seen how my +1 reacts after not having a meal for 9h on a short TATL and no full meal for 16+ hours would certainly not be a good start to a vacation.
