Dining in Premium
Delight in every bite
Elevate your dining experience, from a chilled glass of bubbly on boarding, to choosing your meal from the menu, having proper plates and cutlery, or helping yourself to premium treats whenever you fancy it.
Sip, sip and away
A full bar service awaits
Once we're above the clouds, choose from a range of drinks - all included. Enjoy soft drinks, fruit juices, fizzy favourites, Corona and Lost beers, alcohol-free Lucky Saint beer, and Fever-Tree mixers. Plus water bottles included with your meal.
Peckish between services?
Just ask. Our crew will be happy to let you know what snacks and drinks are available onboard.
Mile High Tea
Our Signature Mile High Tea is a headliner for a reason, serving dainty finger sandwiches, traditional British scones with clotted cream and jam (which goes on first - you choose) and a decadent chocolate truffle. And of course, a proper brew to top it all off.
Slice, slice baby
Pizza delivery, but make it sky-high. Fresh from our ovens and straight to your seat, our hot, cheesy margherita comes in its own mini box - the ultimate mid-air treat.
Making every kid’s journey tasty and fun
We make sure the inflight dining experience for little ones is just as considered as the one for grown ups. We’re talking a dedicated kids’ menu with tasty, nutritious and fun meals, and plenty of snacks.

We offer delicious meals to suit a wide range of dietary needs, from child-friendly options to vegan, kosher and gluten-free. A vegetarian meal is always available as part of our standard service in all cabins.
