The question is... will the third sandwich then mean we have things like...
2016?
The fancy schmancy ones we received when the catering provider changed in 2017?
Or the weaker version that appeared in 2018?
Perhaps they'll be like the Kosher ones in 2017? (I didn't rate the Kosher afternoon tea... the Kosher lunch though was great!)
Either way, I want my Ploughman's back!
Yes, I'm a BA afternoon tea junkie and I'm not ashamed of that!

Excellent news, and may I join others in adding thanks to TheJayHatch for kindly sharing.
BA catering may have come in for some less-than-favourable popcorn comment over recent months (and across multiple threads covering all cabins). But credit where credit is due : fair to say that this represents a serious investment on the part of the airline.
A switch from two finger sandwiches to three is the sort of game-changer I have long been hoping for ; in fact, for me personally, it tips the scales towards upgrading all my forward bookings from ET exit row to CE. The few hundred pounds extra per round trip will be more than worth it.
Any scepticism about the ‘new’ CEO (and his messianic determination to restore the premium factor to BA) is now firmly quashed by this news ……rightly described by OP as an ‘exciting enhancement’. In the space of just 18 months, Mr Doyle has turned things around.

After the pandemic, with flying having changed so much, I am extremely excited to share what CC told me today, having themselves only this morning learnt it from BA’s CEM (Customer Experience Manager).
It is apparently being shortly announced that a major change is happening in Club Europe: the sandwiches in the afternoon tea service will be increased from two sandwiches to three.
I appreciate there is a thread for CE food, but this major enhancement clearly deserves its own thread. Mods - if you agree - please keep this open for further major CEM-led changes, perhaps?
