Do you get afternoon tea or something else before landing?

Yes. Tea and coffee with a snack (cookie etc) on the EWR/JFK/IAD/BOS routes and also a sandwich on the other routes.

Yet again the PE menu looks better than the UC menu, amazingly, the veggie options are probably the ones I would pick.

You are so right here. Plus you get both a dessert and cheese and biscuits. I know you can request both in UC, and I have done so, but I have always been made to feel sooooo greedy, even if I am requesting it instead of a starter!!

We are flying PE out as we couldn't afford UC both ways this time. I'm not bothered at all, particularly with this menu. (John is however as now he will have me talking to him with us being next to each other )

You need to stop thinking too much! Lots of people have both dessert and cheese in Upper! Some people only have dessert too instead of a main course so it is up to you!

Thank you for this, Tinkerbelle, it's very much appreciated.

Are the menus decided by committee or is there an executive chef?

Should I be surprised that both O/B and I/B starters are fish/seafood, with no alternative? Or can you ask for a non-fish option?

The PE trays come pre-filled (as per the economy food trays), the crew just provide you with your choice of hot main dish.

Unless you provide VS with any dietary requirements before the flight, there's no alternatives to any of the other dishes served with your meal.

On the the VS19 the other week we also got a hot chicken wrap thing half way there inbetween the main meal and the later sandwich/snack service. No ice-creams though :0

I had the risotto on the O/B and the lamb biryani on the I/B. Both very nice.
