I chose the Pork Chop for SFO-LHR. The accoutrements sounded much better than those with the Chicken, even though I'm not a huge pork fan in general. Anyone tried either of them and care to report back?

Bold choice! I did the pasta - it was super salty and a bit reminiscent of school meals. Burrata appetizer was really salty also. Other reviews said the chicken was pretty bad so avoided that.

Overall I felt the breakfast was better than the evening meal. Still trying to figure out what happened to the new spring & summer menu. I'm on the Virgin Red Inner Circle customer feedback group so asked there what the deal is.

Updated menu my flight leaves in eight hours
 

Looks like there was a change in the outbound flight from Miami to London. Here’s the new menu.

So much better!

They got rid of the sausage and mash :-(

I ordered the RUMP from the menu provided the same day of flight and when I boarded the flight attendant told me they had bangers and mash for me.

How was the bangers and mash?

I had the bangers and mash last month. The (4) sausages were not that tasty, the mash and peas were both okay. Not something I would chose again. Definitely seemed quantity over quality.

For the record, the sides with the pork chop were solid - and they were the main reason I chose it. The pork chop itself was edible, but that's about as far as I go. The only real strong point in the meal was the burrata appetizer. Dessert was poor. Honestly, an overall disappointing experience in row 1 on the A350. Only plus was that the seat itself was very comfortable.

It's a real shame the food is letting them down at the moment. Starters are good, desserts are mainly good, but the main courses seem to have a really cheap vibe to them, I'd argue this isn't just related to the new menu either.
.
It comes to something when a value airline like Jet Blue are serving better looking food on transatlantic flights.

bangers and mash were decent but unremarkable. I just chose it as one of the safe options. I really don’t expect much from Virgin upper anymore so I guess I wasn’t disappointed .

Is Upper on its uppers?

Returned 07/13 on VS117 - LHR - MIA
 

Had the pleasure of going to terminal three @ Heathrow and entering the virgin lounge where I picked up a light breakfast ( see pic ) not quite the same as E Pellicci in the East End but a decent fryer up

Meal highlight - the burrata/pesto appetizer. It was solid.

The sides were good.. The pork, not so much.

Mediocre chocolate cup. Not really practical for in flight consumption either.

Breakfast. The only positive comment I have about this is that the tomato was fine. Lord knows what those eggs were.

Cheese plate. No issues here. Though it wasn't offered, I had to ask if they had it.

Anyone know what meal is served on VS457 8.20am LHR-TLV route in Upper Class?
