British Airways launches British Menus
British Airways customers will be welcomed back on board with new 'Best of British Menus' with the September edition featuring a traditional British Roast dinner.
In First and Club World, the airline will offer a quintessentially British dish, a full roast dinner. British Airways will debut its traditional roast with 21-day aged British beef, served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, seasonal vegetables, horseradish cream and gravy.
On flights to the Indian subcontinent, the beef is replaced with chicken and bread sauce.
The chefs will also be creating themed deserts on its monthly menus, with September's theme being 'All Things Botanical' including an elderflower and white chocolate dessert with compressed apple and elderflower sorbet.
British Airways' new monthly 'Best of British' menus champion seasonal ingredients and British provenance, taking customers on a culinary journey across the British Isles. The airline has proudly worked with farmers, caterers and producers to find great quality ingredients, advocating farm to fork.
In October, for all destinations, the beef is swapped to chicken, as well as lamb hot pot and Welsh rarebit with chutney.
Other classic dishes that will feature on menus will include gastro pub classics such as chicken pie with mash, pork pie with piccalilli, shepherd's pie, sausage and mash, as well as chicken bacon leek and mushroom pie. The menu also features vegetarian options using British produce, such as butternut squash gnocchi with blue cheese sauce and wild cavolo nero, and handmade ricotta mezzaluna with truffle cream and grilled asparagus.
Sajida Ismail, British Airways Head of Inflight says; "as we look ahead to welcoming back customers who may not have flown for a while, we wanted to mark the occasion by offering a really special menu that celebrates the best of Britain."
The airline has worked with our catering partners, DO & CO and Newrest.
The introduction of the new menus in business class follows the abandonment of free catering in economy for short-haul flights in economy class, and the introduction of 'Buy Before you Fly' allowing passengers to 'Buy on Board'. Water, however, is still free.
