British Airways improves catering for Gatwick flights

Effective immediately all British Airways flights out of London Gatwick will have some upgraded in-flight catering. For long haul flights this change will be seen in all cabins but in short haul this will only be seen in Club Europe, as Euro Traveller is still a paid service with Marks and Spencer.

While the menu will vary on the route (especially true for Club Europe), a non-exhaustive sample was provided below by BA's press office:

Club Europe main courses

• Hampshire Chalk Stream trout gremolata, roasted new potatoes, fennel and dill sauce
• Poached free-range egg, grilled halloumi, potato and red onion hash, spiced beans
• Spinach and ricotta ravioli, cherry tomato sauce, bocconcini, basil pesto
• Severn and Wye smoked salmon blinis, crème fraîche, keta caviar
• Seared fillet of cod, lemon and chive linguine, tomato basil sauce

Club World starters

• British cured Cumbrian ham, smoked aubergine purée, basil pesto
• Roasted heirloom winter squash, goat’s curd, caramelised pear, honey and Tewkesbury mustard dressing

For those travelling in First Class you can also check out my lounge review here, as there is also a la carte dining in the lounge which some may prefer to do and sleep on the flight instead.
