Buy On Board BRU-LHR No hot food served

Flew this route today, sat in the first row behind CE, when the service started I requested a bacon roll and was told by the cabin crew that hot food is not available on this route.
There is no mention of this in the BOB menu, is this true as I have always had my beloved bacon butty from DUS,CDG, FRA and LUX...

It is there, saw it on a peruse through the weekend just gone. I’m sure CWS will be along shortly to tell us page, paragraph and line number!

Sales had previously been suspended, don't know if they restarted at any point. See:

Have a look at the current menu here https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29704305-post115.html

The bacon roll is marked with the blue circle/globe and in the key that says "Not available on shorter flights".

M&S Bacon Rolls - sales suspended?
On the 7 th July I flew LUX-LHR and was a bit of a pig and had two bacon rolls, so I dont see this as ongoing.

Agreed, my comment is clearly not the explanation, seems KARFA has provided the answer - don't know if there is a list of what counts as shorter flights. I've done LUX a few times and it's hardly long!

There has been the removal of bacon rolls on select routes as posted below. This is due to feedback, however, as a result, there will be an increase in Cheese Ploughman’s and Mushroom and Emmental Toasties.

As for BRU I think there is no hot items (correction)

BA2546 - LGW-ALG
BA2562- LGW - DLM
BA2648- LGW - TIA
BA2666 - LGW - RAK
BA676- LHR - IST
BA680- LHR - IST

We haven't had BOB hot food on short flights for maybe a year or more. This includes MAN, LBA, NCL, AMS, CDG, BRU.
