There was a few post by DXB2745 posted in the food thread. The menu was posted in the WTP thread but looks like Y seats and the picture is in the Y WT thread?

Not sure I've seen a Christmas dinner picture yet in the CW Thread.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Christmas pudding on any menu, mince pies are normally served as the Christmas meal dessert.

I really wouldn't bother.

It was dry, bland and boring in F this week.

The Yule log though was ok

The chocolate yule log is nice enough chocolate cake, decorated festively.

The CW meal is OK, but impressively tasteless.

The other issue is that not enough are loaded, albeit this is something BA crews have reported back to catering.

I've never had a first choice option refused on any J flight in the last few years, so I think it's a bit flippant to say 'never load enough of anything' and rather....British. It happens in CE, but usually only in row 4 or higher.

As for the Christmas dinner, I found it a little small too. Nothing special.

Personally I've never been denied a meal I want, but each to their own.

true for me on long haul. Club europe tho the majority of my flights they haven’t loaded enough CE trays. I get crisps and Kit Kats galore.

CE ran out of Christmas meals just as got to me but at least all options had the rather yummy festive dessert. 🙂

Flew last week in WTP.
The first row was row 10 and they ran out when my wife in 12a had the last one.
She said it was meh
I had the cod which was great.

Mince pies on the menu were substituted for a chocolate thing.
