Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Here is the British Airways Tom Kerridge food and drink menu in full

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Yesterday we mentioned the new Tom Kerridge designed menus which British Airways will be offering in all cabins on long-haul routes during August.  This is part of the #BA100 centenary events.

Someone posted the menu in the comments yesterday.  This is what you can expect:

First Class

  • Loch Fyne smoked salmon tartare with smoked mayonnaise, seeded cracker and quails egg
  • Fillet of halibut with roasted cucumber, girolle mushrooms, salad cream, accompanied by a classic Caesar Salad with sourdough croutons and pickled anchovies
  • Milk chocolate and amaretto tart with salted caramel and white chocolate sauce

Club World

  • Severn and Wye smoked salmon with asparagus and gribiche dressing
  • Roasted breast of corn-fed chicken with braised pearl barley risotto and wild garlic
  • Chocolate and amaretto tart with salted caramel sauce

World Traveller Plus

  • Salad Dorset Blue Vinny cheese, celery, grapes and sunflower seeds
  • Roasted breast of corn-fed chicken with braised pearl barley risotto and wild garlic
  • Chocolate and amaretto tart, coffee and mascarpone cream

World Traveller

  • Gourmet smoked chicken stew with a variety of summer vegetables (starter and dessert are unchanged)

Apparently this menu can be at least partially pre-ordered – ignore what BA told us.

    These menus don’t look particularly inspiring, nothing to single them out from the usual.

  • Ian says:
    29 Jul29 July 05:30

    you can definitely pre-order the CW Chicken dish, as I have done so for an upcoming flight.

    • BJ says:
      29 Jul29 July 05:46

      Interesting, I was not even sure that was new, thought I had seen it before. I’m wondering if they just attached his name to existing or slightly modified existing menu items.

      • Lady London says:
        29 Jul29 July 11:44

        Shurely not.

        • BJ says:
          29 Jul29 July 16:36

          Something and pearl barley risotto was on my CW menu last month, I clearly remember that much. Perhaps they did a trial run with the dishes on selected flights before launching next month.

    • James says:
      29 Jul29 July 07:37

      I too have pre-ordered this dish.

  • Jamie says:
    29 Jul29 July 05:31

    I’m flying F on BA273 on 25th August and the main F dish on the Tom Kerridge menu is able to be ordered in advance like normal.

    • Lyn says:
      29 Jul29 July 08:18

      Also available to pre-order for a flight on August 2nd (the halibut in First).

      • Lyn says:
        29 Jul29 July 08:21

        For clarification – it specifically mentions halibut with girolles and salad cream so sounds as if it must be this menu.

    OT – Capital On Tap card..

    I did my first points transfer yesterday from CoT to BAEC and was very impressed to see that the points went across instantly! Very handy.

    • Simon says:
      29 Jul29 July 06:58

      Were you entitled to the spend bonus and has that been applied?

      • Ian M says:
        29 Jul29 July 07:55

        Yes and yes 🙂

        • Simon Barlow says:
          29 Jul29 July 08:38

          Brilliant, thanks. Just did my own.

          Also, managed to use the card to pay my personal tax bill due this month, without a fee.

    • Rob says:
      29 Jul29 July 08:29

      Yes. Which leads you to wonder why no-one else, especially Amex, can do this.

  • @mkcol says:
    29 Jul29 July 08:15

    OT: posted on an old topic yesterday so perhaps overlooked.

    Any idea if the $200 for Intercontinental Ambassador is charged as an IHG transaction so worth using my IHG credit card, or just stick with Curve to avoid the FX fees?

    • Brian says:
      29 Jul29 July 08:34

      Presumably the extra points wouldn’t be worth enough to cover the fx fees in any case.

    • TGLoyalty says:
      29 Jul29 July 10:47

      Stick with Curve with IHG has the underlying card. No extra points but no FX fees either

      That’s why we need to continue to lobby Rob to activate email notifications on comments made to our posts or other comments

    Virgin deals are a nothing. Recommend others don’t waste their time.

  • Amit says:
    29 Jul29 July 09:42

    Whats the veg options??

    • MKB says:
      29 Jul29 July 11:25

      I’d be amazed if there are any. BA have never given a damn about vegetarian or vegan passengers in any class. I’ve had better VLML economy meals on Turkish than some of the Club World / First VLML fare.

      The same is true of most Western airlines.
