British Airways is redefining premium cabin dining with its “Best of British” menu, thoughtfully curated for long-haul Business and First Class travelers. This season, guests can savor a quintessential British roast—choose from succulent 21-day dry-aged beef or tender chicken, accompanied by golden roast potatoes, a pillowy Yorkshire pudding, herbed stuffing, and rich gravy.
Championing local produce and culinary heritage, the airline’s ongoing monthly menus highlight premium British ingredients. BA’s catering partners—DO&CO at Heathrow and Newrest at Gatwick—collaborate directly with regional farmers and artisanal suppliers, ensuring a true farm-to-table experience at altitude.

Each month, BA’s chefs unveil a signature dessert. This June, the spotlight is on “All Things Botanical”—an elegant elderflower and white chocolate confection, paired with compressed apple and a refreshing elderflower sorbet.
While the signature roast features 21-day aged beef on most routes, flights to the Indian subcontinent showcase a specially crafted roast chicken option, reflecting regional preferences and dietary requirements.
Sajida Ismail, British Airways’ Head of Inflight, shares: “As we continue welcoming discerning travelers back on board, our aim is to deliver a menu that truly celebrates British culinary excellence. Our chefs have worked tirelessly to perfect classic dishes—especially the roast dinner, complete with Yorkshire puddings and crispy roast potatoes—even at cruising altitude.”
