V-Flyer

I remember someone asking for the current Clubhouse menu a week or so back. As I had a while in there this week, [8D] I thought I would copy down the current offerings. I have only done the non-deli items.

In addition to the above, there is a great selection of foods at the deli all day and, of course, for those who don't like solids before flying, the bar is open and well stocked. [;)][}:)]


Enjoy.[:D]

[y] Long live The Clubhouse Burger [y]

Thanks Nick. I hope you sampled one of each.

Nice to see the burger back after its unceremonious 'withdrawl' at the end of last year.

No more waffles?

These are NOT 'American' pancakes as long as the vanilla crean and berries remain. Syrup and pancakes are American; not this non-sense. [B)]

I fail to see how what is placed on American pancakes changes their ethnicity, but the phrase 'don't shoot the messenger' comes to mind. I am only quoting the menu. [;)]

Thanks Nick[y][y]

your OP allows me to retain fond memories and serve as a usual prompt to book another flight[}:)][}:)]

Thanks for the info Nick.

Think I'll forget the Macdonalds breakfast and wait for the Clubhouse nosh [:D]

Still has to be the smoked salmon and scambled eggs for me when I'm there from Brekkie. Although, annoyingly, they're now a bit random as to whether it comes with the pancetta or not.

I always feel like an idiot asking for a 'misty morning' so just ask for OJ, with the bits of mint in [:D]

Oh did not intend my comment to be directed at you but at the menu in general. You simply are keeping the VF community abreast of the current offerings.

I have ordered the pancakes without the cream and berries (simple request) and have sent it back only to have another pancakes with cream + berries. I feel that my request was simple.

Mainly I feel that the dish offered does not depict the traditional, normal American pancakes served at IHOP, Denny's or the local dinner. Sure the cream and berries are an option at those places.

The 'American' probably is just referring to the pancake itself, rather than the toppings. It's probably to distinguish it from pancakes in the UK, which are what Americans would call a crepe.

Sidebar questions:

Has anyone had any luck making slight mods to the menu items? (ie no mayonnaise on the Clubhouse Sandwich)

What would you like to see on the menu that is not there?

Never tried, but I would hope they can hold the mayo, the gerkin or what ever. If BK can manage that.......

Proper fish and chip in batter with mushy peas
Something chinese like beef in black bean sauce etc.

Lots of what I would call school puddings. Jam roly-poly, treacle pudding, spotted dick (stop sn*****ing!!) all with real custard

Oh that's TOO funny - it left dick but censored ******

LOL. Never even occurred to me that would happen.
