Flying to LAX in Upper, I had the chicken curry from the pre-order menu, which tasted good but the portion was ridiculous. I had two pieces of chicken on it, that was it, just two chunks, barely half a chicken breast. There's cost cutting, then there's giving me a smaller portion that school dinners.
Does anyone know who Virgin use as their catering partner? I know all caterers will have multiple product offers / price options to cater for different customers & different cabins the customer flies.
Whilst I admit the food on our outbound on Sunday from MAN was better than expected, it is still a world away from what the likes of Emirates offer in Business class. Some of the reports on here suggest that Aramark (a company who do catering contract for prisons / military / theme parks and the like) have gone into in-flight catering and Virgin have snapped up their offer.
Merlin Entertainments (Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington etc) out-sourced all their food & beverage to Aramark last year. The quality nose-dived and the prices - theme park prices - increased. Some of the descriptions of Virgin meals on here sound like Aramark offerings.
