Aircraft type & class: A320 outbound and B737 inbound - Economy
Business or leisure trip: Holiday!
Meal type: Lunch/Dinner - The exact same meal for both flights!!
The new ALL DAY DELI, but no longer in a bag! Warmed Olive and Tomato Ciabatta with either Cheese or Ham and Cheese, Fruit Cocktail in fruit juice, Sultana Fairy Cup Cake, 2 finger Kit Kat Bar, Water.
Drink: Juice & Tea. Free Soft Drinks and Alcoholic Drinks available for those asked.
Comments: On the outbound flight the crew passed out the All Day Deli boxes first and then returned a few minutes later with the Ciabatta rolls. We were offered a choice of either Ham and Cheese or just Cheese. On the Inbound they just gave us Cheese rolls (perhaps no Ham ones left as this was the last flight of the day!) at the same time as passing out the boxes. On the flight to Rome, the rolls weren't warmed for long enough, so you kept gettings slightly cold and slightly warmed bits. Going back to London it was warmed through. The roll is a bit disappointing in it's size and taste compared to other sandwiches and rolls I've had on BA flights (normally London to Amsterdam) where they have been quite tasty. The bits in the Deli Box made up for the volume side. The fruit cocktail, cake and Kit Kat were fine. One thing I am worried about is there is what appears to be a date on the packaging on the roll that could be an expiry date - it's listed as April 2004!
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 6.75 - adequate for the time of day/length of flight, but the roll could of been slightly bigger and more tastier.

Comments: This would have to be one of the worst flight experiences I have ever had. The crew were rude, unfriendly, no smile and you had the feeling that anything you asked for was a huge chore. It doesn't matter whether you are flying first class or economy, you expect the crew to be well mannered and polite at the very least. Shame on you, BA!
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 9 for the food, 1 for the terrible service.
