Club World dining - restoration of full menu - 28 October 2022
The new LHR outbound menu for longhaul flights from 28 October are emerging, and here is one to be getting on with, covering these routes to JFK, IAD, BOS, SEA, PHL and elsewhere in USA. Previously these menus lasted about a month before the main items would change over.
For reference the previous thread on this subject is here. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...lub-world.html The flights this menu applies to are BA53, 67, 93, 173, 175, 185, 191, 193, 205, 207, 213, 217, 219, 223, 225, 253. 255, 295. (return flights from the USA to LHR are catered by local companies so menus will vary). ==== Starters Roast British Beef Salad broccolini, baby corn, carrots, horseradish cream Roasted Sweet Potato Salad chimichurri, roast corn Roasted cauliflower soup garlic and herb croutons Bulgar and carrot salad lemon labneh Main course Slow roasted short rib of British beef garden peas, carrots, parsley potatoes, beef gravy Pan seared North Atlantic cod carrots, courgettes, edamame, wasabi mousseline Laksa noodles with tofu broccolini, spring onions, edamame Cheese and dessert British apple crumble apple compote Fresh seasonal fruit Chocolate pudding chocolate sauce Cheeseboard Camembert, coastal Chedder, Shropshire Blue, apricots, plum chutney (to save the usual question: I suspect this will not be loaded so that everyone has both dessert and cheese, but often times you may be able to politiely request a dessert plus cheese). ===== Afternoon tea - served 90 minutes or so before arrival Sandwiches Pastrami with mustard créme fraiche on malted bread, prawn Marie Rose on mini brioche, Emmental and Brie with walnuts on rye bread or Cheddar cheese with onion chutney on malted bread, deviled eggs on mini brioche, Emmental and Brie with walnuts on rye bread Sweets Victoria sponge cake Plain and fruit scones served warm, clotted cream, strawberry preserve |
I do suspect it will take them quite a while to serve all of that one plate at a time. Pick your seat carefully depending on roughly what time you want your meal I guess is the answer.

Boy, you could really pack on the beef n cheese weight if you were in the wrong seat and got the leftovers. Doesn't look too bad, but devil is in the details, let's see how the amount/plating looks. I could see those sandwiches being super tiny - like hors d'oeuvres sized.

Oh yeah, I'm here for the Guardian Reading Tofu!

Glad to see an improvement in CW catering.
That initial menu still reads as a step down from pre-covid, the proof will be in the eating. |

While I know I shouldn’t have expected anything less on something billed as a return to pre-COVID, but thrilled to see BA is continuing with their dreadful pre-arrival service once again

The pre-arrival service differs depending on length of flight. For day flights to the US, the pre-pandemic afternoon tea was very pleasant.

Umm, no. Simply, no. The idea of being served tons of bread, fat, and sugar with almost no actual nutritional value is not pleasant in the very least. I’ll take the United marinated veggie salad (that hasn’t changed in two years) with fruit (skip the weird muffin) or the rotating American salads any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I agree it would be nice to have a light alternative to afternoon tea… something less carby / sweet
|
It’s cheese and dessert if desired.
|
No mention of the flight we are flying on Friday. Hopefully more menus will appear soon...

Plenty of places to get a salad to take with you ion the plane in T3 and T5 if the options aren't to your liking. I typically grab a ham and greve sandwich from Pret to have as a mid-flight snack.

Or fly an airline that provides options for pre-arrival service to cater to both indulgent and passably lighter/healthier in exchange for 6,000 to 11,000 round trip to New York? The idea that someone like me with no dietary restrictions, no food dislikes, and just some general preferences regarding what I want to eat should have to cater a business class flight is laughable.
Didn't there used to be a salad option as well? Or was that just on BA1? |
