Virgin Atlantic
has developed a new menu specialising in British produce for its Upper Class passengers
onboard flights originating from the UK for 2007. The initiative will launch in December 2006 complete with a two-week menu of traditional
British Christmas food over the festive season. The concept of introducing seasonal specials will be a feature throughout 2007.
Andrew Day, Food & Drink Development Manager for Virgin Atlantic,
said, “We tested a ‘Best of British’ menu earlier this year and our passenger feedback was so overwhelmingly positive that we decided
to implement a year long ‘Best of British’ menu to ensure we could build
on the success of the trial and deliver quality food in true Virgin style.
“We will be offering Upper Class passengers a wide variety of
freshly prepared food that will combine the following elements – the best of home
grown British produce with a contemporary twist on traditional and using quality local seasonal ingredients from
regional suppliers.“
Starters will include dishes such as Broccoli & Hartington Creamery
Stilton soup. Main courses range from traditional beef hotpot served with
roasted winter vegetables to a creamy fish pie with Taw Valley or Davidstow cheddar cheese mash topping served with creamed leeks and
carrots. Desserts that will feature on the menu will be a festive rhubarb trifle and a Bramley apple and blackberry crumble served with
custard.
