Ever thought about a sushi chef in the CCR?
Just wondering how expensive this would be for BA. Maybe worth at least a trial or a pop-up concept?
Personally, I loved the “prepared to order” sushi I recently had in the QR business class lounge in DOH.

The problem is that it won't be top quality sushi, it'll be the quality equivalent of a Boots meal deal. I don't like salmon, so it's a dead cert that'll be what they serve as good quality tuna would be too expensive.

Proper sushi grade fish (and preferably sashimi grade) is expensive and requires strictly traçable supply, transport, and handling at the restaurant.
im pretty sure Ba won’t pay for either the fish, or the chef or the transport and in lounge handling equipment. Heck, coming to think of it, I bet they wouldn’t even pay for a decent sushi or sashimi knife!!
would love it though!

If I am not mistaken this is a bit more Giffnock than Buenos Aires.
Whilst I love Sushi, I don't think that you could recreate the proper high end Sushi experience there.
The would be much better partnering with Claridges/The Ritz for a proper afternoon tea experience. Would be keeping with the brand.
