Domestic flight - can I bring cooked meat in hand luggage?

I've googled and googled but can't find a definitive answer - can anyone help please?

Can one bring cooked meat (like chicken) on a domestic flight within the UK? It would be frozen.

Thank you!

I saw a lady eating a rotisserie chicken on a flight from the uk to Spain, dunno if that helps but at the time it looked like a great idea for dinner.

Yes. I took a frozen leg of lamb on a 14 hour flight… I meticulously checked the destinations rules, no problem.

I don't see why not, you can bring food to eat on the plane and they're not going to be checking at the other end in the uk Does beg the question why though?!

My mum has precooked some things and want to bring them with her on a domestic flight. But we don't want to waste them if the airport decides not to let her take them. Where would it say definitively?

If it's domestic I can't see why it would not be allowed.

The meat won't be a problem but the issue could be me how much frozen water will be in it, you're not allowed to take more than 100 ml liquid through security. You might need to drain it before you enter security. They do have a machine that they put baby food and baby milk through so you might be okay if they put it though that. Worst case, they ask you to bin it.

I should add it's from Belfast. Does that make a difference? Flights from Belfast are treated as domestic (so no passport needed) but not sure if different rules apply to food?

Should be fine, I take a filled chilli bottle of frozen water internationally and it hasn’t been a problem as its obviously a solid, not a liquid.
