Virgin Atlantic has launched its autumn/winter menu range across all cabins, with new seasonal dishes available for its Virgin Atlantic Upper Class cabin customers.
The airline has teamed up with Jeroboams – one of London’s most prestigious wine merchants, to offer a tempting onboard wine selection. Welcome drinks now include Hambledon, Classic Cuvée English sparkling wine paired with British raspberries and sweet rhubarb tonic, or a traditional Champagne offering with rosemary truffle artisan crisps.
Customers on eastbound flights can select Cobra lager, while customers on the USA and Caribbean routes can enjoy Brooklyn Pilsner or Lucky Saint non-alcoholic beer.
The four-course à la carte dinner menu includes a selection of starters, mains, desserts, and cheese and port courses with new seasonal additions, including thyme and garlic roasted chicken with dauphinoise potatoes, baby carrots, tender stem broccoli and peppercorn sauce. Or a miso and sesame-crusted salmon dish with sweet potato purée, bok choi and a honey ginger sauce. Pie lovers can enjoy a mushroom, red wine and tarragon pie with mashed potatoes, garden vegetables and herb gravy.
Customers still needing a little extra sustenance after the first meal service can try the new additions to the Extra Bites (small plates) menu, including a delicious cream tea with fudge scones and clotted cream, salted caramel spread and strawberry jam, or gourmet fish goujon hot sandwich with tartare sauce and salted crisps.
Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Premium customers can enjoy additional dishes on the pre-order menu – available to order between 72 and 24 hours before departure – including lamb hotpot with vermicelli rice and seasonal vegetables or a vegetable korma with Gujarati beans, jeera pilau rice and paratha.
Premium Class customers also enjoy a refreshed seasonal menu, with samples including shepherd’s pie, vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes, a wholesome chicken casserole with mustard mash and buttered savoy cabbage and Thai green vegetable curry with jasmine rice.
Breakfast options in Premium Class include an enhanced selection of hot-cooked breakfasts with fresh fruit, yoghurt and pastries and a new range of Twinings wellness super-blend teas.
Virgin Atlantic flies three classes: Upper, Premium and Economy.
