I only experienced the offering in the T3 Galleries lounge, and it was not great. Coronation chicken or chilli, as I recall...oh, and a soup.

I wouldn't say it is bad, just inadequate. I don't fly BA very often, and last year when I did I went to Plane Food to get a picnic bag, because there was simply nothing in GC that was at all appealing (and I am not fussy!).

It's buffet style - at meal times they put out trays of hot gloop (curry, chilli, pasta etc) and jacket potatoes, otherwise it's soup, sandwiches, salad & nibbles. Plus a self service bar.

It fills a hole but it's a million miles away from the all day hot a la carte menu and full cocktail bar in the Clubhouse.

Again, speaking only from my T3 experience, certainly no self serve champagne though others have reported that if you could find a member of staff you could ask for a glass.

I think pjh was referring to the galleries lounge not the CH

Neither galleries club or the CH have self serve champagne, but the difference (IMO) is that it's not at all obvious in galleries that it's available at all - the other wines are put out self service, and the first time I visited, I assumed there just was nothing fizzy on offer.

Galleries first is a bit better (especially the one at T3), self serve and a decent breakfast buffet. Still no CH though...

I was indeed referring to the Galleries Lounge in T3, and not the CH, thanks for picking up on that
