Indeed, I also got a regular service on BHX->AMS. On AMS->BRE I experienced the same service as Meneer experienced, and I have been told something like "the flight is too short" about the content given in Business. Another thread listed 6 flights with the same treatment.

Every LCC will sell you anything you want on short hops.....
KLM should really be ashamed of them selves for this.
But the Sandwiches are very nice. Very small.... but I think that has to do with the size of the little bag they designed...

I'm flying GLA-AMS on KLM in 2 weeks time. I have very little experience of flying intra-EU these days as I'm based in Australia. I'm booked in Y, flight is around 4pm. Can I expect a beer?

AMS-JFK: pumpkin soup or another forgettable appetizer. Then coq au vin (tasteless) or cod (fine but boring) or beef stew (we did not try). Then cheese or dessert (some boring cake). For the snack a “club” sandwich (tuna salad...) or a burger (did not try). The best wine in the selection was a Pays d’Oc. Overall an economy class offer of food and drinks. KLM ought better be cheap because their WBC offering is definitely sub-par. Lovely staff but no class and it all felt very cheap. Best part of the meal: the Delft houses!

I was on KL809 from AMS to KUL (J) on 25 Dec...
They had 3 choices of Mains:
Fillet of Cod with Mediterranean-style tomato dressing, curried potato mousseline and mixed green beans
Coq au vin, baby potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, French beans, pearl onions and crispy pork bacon
Braised veal in a jus with onion and spices, piccalilli beans, spinach and smoked paprika orzo pasta
In addition to the normal Salad or Soup Entreé and Cheese or Dessert
Went with the Coq Au Vin which went above expectations (as with the whole KLM experience to be honest), but was still puzzled that they served pork on a flight bound to a Muslim majority country.
Not complaining though...

Those are the same options than the ones we had on AMS-JFK, as said above we were unimpressed. Maybe pork would have been good!

KL 1164 HEL-AMS 0700-0835 737-900
No menu given
Options were a strata or a crepe. The crepe was really good made for a filling breakfast
KL 1363 AMS-WAW 0945-1140 737-800
I was hoping for lunch but thankfully this breakfast is basically more like brunch. It was pretty decent too, just needed more salmon.

Seriously KLM, replace that burger on the menu as it both looks and tastes like it's been thrown at the wall a few times.
