is it possible GF will actually get refurbished at all? It’s now been many years that this has been talked about and I’ve still not heard of a reasonable timeline .
also, without wishing to state the obvious, GF actually needs more space. With the best will in the world it’s still going to be hoplessly overcrowded the day after the refurb is completed.

The words used in the IAG capital markets video by CFO of BA was “full scale refurbishment of the Heathrow lounge estate” which would seem to point out that the new seating in the GF is just the start.

I suspect ordering additional dishes is something they're trying to keep quiet to cope with staffing numbers. Not particularly fancying any of the breakfast buffet, I always track down a member of Baxter Storey and ask for kippers. I'm nowhere near as frequent a visitor to GF as many here but I've never been refused, although sometimes I get asked if I want scrambled eggs with them, and sometimes not. I've not yet tried to see what else is available.

To be fair the sign above the hot plates offering veggie sausages on request also offers kippers. But, for example, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon has gone! Yet in the B gate lounge a freshly toasted smoked salmon bagel is on offer.
