    I’ve tied and failed to find what is served in club world on the “childrens menu” fear it will be chicken nuggets and chips. is there a way to find out what type of food the kids menu will be?

    It will be either chicken nuggets or pasta.

    With a mini packet of raisins, and a 2-finger Kit Kat. Really poor given you pay nearly as much for a child’s seat!

    It’s pretty rubbish really. We ordered kids meals once and have memories of it being junk and the boys being unimpressed by the main course and ended up mainly eating bread rolls and the packets of ultra-processed guff that accompanied the main course.

    So now we order the two most promising items from the normal menus and then see if anything sticks. The parent the gets the less preferable option.

    If you have fussy children then you have little choice but to bring your own.

    BTW you need to order the childs meal.

    Ba won’t just assume based on age.

    We just get the adult meal (5yo now), he eats some of it and we share the rest if we are still hungry. Bring some of our own stuff that we know he will eat, in case.

    Yep, same here, trying to order different adult meals to let child pick & choose. Actually, a new, easier
    plan B has been to also order the Hindu meal!

    If it’s not the economy kids meal like I suspect it is then it certainly feels like it (looks like it and brought on one tray economy style). Only ever did that once. Yeah, +1 let them choose from the adult and between theirs and yours + some bread rolls, they won’t starve.

    Our three year old has one of the adult meals and we just share it across with her. We ordered her the children’s option once before and it was just the pasta option from the normal menu with nothing different so was all pointless. Least with the adult option she gets a choice.

    The Club Kitchen has gone downhill recently but sending them to forage for snacks is a good way to pass some time on a long flight!

    Not so long ago I was told I had to eat what I was given and to think of the starving kids in Africa…

    Is that foraging for themselves or to bring back to you to avoid interrupting the movie you’re watching???

    If you don’t have kids you have no concept of trying to pass 12 hours in a confined space 😂

    Fortunately ours is grown up now, but I lost interest when they stopped stocking little bars of Green & Black’s!

    Never took mine beyond Florida, where the prospect of Mickey waiting at the other end was usually enough to keep them in line.

    Travelled in F a few years ago an we ordered my 12yo son the kids meal. Chicken nuggets on fine china! The American bloke opposite overheard and tried to order them too 😁 Not a happy bunny. I think in Club there’s always something to please, or they can steal something from the back of the plane. Worst case, buy a few M&S sandwiches.

    If you ask BA a few days before, they’ll email you the “expected” menu. My wife is mostly GF, but the GF offering is very poor so we check. Mention it before take-off and you will be guaranteed what you want.

    I was told this also. I tried it on Kermit and he told me to send the food to the starving kids as he wasn’t eating it.

    That was the stock response in the 70s and 80s! I thought parents had given up on that one lol.

    Though I think I once told my mother that her rice pudding (or some other 1970s horror) was so awful, even the poor Africans wouldn’t want it!

    Our mum’s custard was so terrible that my brother and I would talk loudly
    about hopefully one day visiting Kuala LUMPur!

    Lol – millennials and Gen Z don’t believe how bad our childhood food was!

    Reviving an old thread. Anyone know the current children meal options on the Gatwick fleet in Club World?

    Bland?? I’d risk the standard meal (you could ask on boarding and secure the best option). Otherwise take some sandwiches/snacks. Airlines stick to safe “favourites” in every cabin, so steak tartare and oysters are usually off the menu.

    Flew LGW to POS in Club World last month. Our kids were given macaroni cheese as their first meal, along with the standard salad/bread/etc from the adults menu. They wolfed it down and pronounced it “OK”. I don’t think they ate much/anything from the second meal; I’m embarrassed to say I can’t remember a thing about it (too much champagne, possibly!).
