British Airways Introduces New Catering

Foodie News

Thursday, December 22, 2011



British Airways has introduced a host of new onboard menus and drink choices as part of a multimillion-dollar customer service programme launched last month.

In Club World a selection of tasty new options include Hereford beef and corn-fed chicken for main courses and elegant finger sandwiches and miniature pastries as part of the afternoon tea service. Breakfast will now include morning boost drinks, specially designed by the chefs at British Airways to include a range of healthy, refreshing flavours. Artisan du Chocolat will also be available as an after-dinner treat.

The airline is making a substantial investment in Champagne and wines onboard with new premium vintages being introduced. Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle is the latest Champagne to feature in First, while Club World customers will enjoy Taittinger.

Drambuie 15, the award-winning premium aged Scotch whiskey liquor will now be served on British Airways flight to longhaul routes in First and business class while, for the first time, World Traveller Plus (premium economy) customers will also enjoy Club World (business class) meals.

All customers will now be able to choose from a range of Twinings speciality infusions and green teas in both British Airways lounges and onboard.

Lynn McClelland, British Airways' Head of Catering, said: "We are currently looking at every aspect of the food and drink we serve onboard and making changes that our customers will certainly notice when it comes to taste. There are areas we can make great improvements in, simply by using new ingredients and products like Hereford beef, Drambuie 15 and Artisan du Chocolat chocolates."

Over the next five years British Airways will be investing more than £5billion in new aircraft, smarter cabins, elegant lounges and new technologies to make life more comfortable in the air and on the ground.

Bubbly News From CPJ

Looking for that perfect gift to give this holiday season or to entertain with? Foodie News reckons CPJ's Taittinger Magnum might just hit the spot!

Champagne Taittinger Brut Prestige AOC Champagne is an elegant champagne with a sparkling allure, and a soft, golden colour. It has fine bubbles and a discreet and long-lasting mousse, an expressive nose, with notes of fruit and baking bread, and hints of peach, white flowers and vanilla.

Produced using 40 per cent Chardonnay grapes and 60 per cent Pinot grapes, this is a special edition with a particularly delightful and well balanced nose. With its finesse, lively flavour and sparkling bubbles, it is the perfect champagne for drinking at any time, and should be served chilled, at around 8°C.
