When it comes to eating and drinking onboard, we make a proper meal of it. Expect creative twists on British and local classics combined with surprising showstoppers, packed with a world of flavour. All made from the best quality ingredients, sustainably sourced, and served with Virgin Atlantic flair. Regardless of the cabin you’re flying in, you’ll find lots of foodie flourishes to keep you satisfied in the sky, including healthy energisers, warming favourites, and of course, our signature Mile High afternoon tea.
There’s also drinks and snacks from carefully chosen brands you know, and some you don't...yet. And because we've created our menu with real people in mind, from the fussiest of flyers to the gastronomically adventurous, specific diets to kids' classics, there's bound to be something to tickle your tastebuds. You can even view the menu and order up before you fly*, so you know there's a meal you'll love ready and waiting for you. We can hear the tummy rumbles already.

Flying Economy? Try Econo-yummy.
We put as much thought, time and creativity into our Economy menu as we do our other cabins, and the proof’s in the pudding. And the starter. And the choice of two tasty hot main meals.
Our Premium menu is a feast for the eyes as well as the appetite.
Full of colour, flavour and imagination, our Premium menus are playful yet plated to impress. Just don't forget to take a snap before you take a bite.
In Upper Class, you’ll experience the ultimate dining experience in the clouds. From creatively plated flavour fusions to signature dishes, and elevated drink pairings that put the fizz back into flying.
Our classically British Mile High Tea brings a slice of afternoon indulgence 35,000 feet up. Tuck into flavourful finger sandwiches, delicately decorated sweet treats and, of course, a hot drink of your choice. You’ll find a tea party on most of our flights from the UK to the USA and Caribbean. After all, there’s always time for a sweet treat.
We get a little helping hand from our partners, who bring you unique flavours to up your snack game. Our partners are handpicked for their flair, originality and soul – all things we pride ourselves on too. So, you can tuck into our exclusive Virgin Bloody Mary flavour Savoursmith crisps crafted just for us, juicy Yumma gummy sweets in limited edition flavours and Nigerian snacks from Chika’s. Plus, since we truly believe that everyone deserves a slice of the pie, we’ve partnered with Creative Nature Superfoods who are proudly free from 14 allergens.
Crossing the Atlantic? Try one of our destination-inspired cocktails like American Dream, English Garden or Caribbean Rum Punch. If you’re getting ready for Riyadh, then you’ll enjoy an Arabic coffee with dates. Looking for local flavours? Dive fork-first into Lagos-inspired bites or vibrant Indian veggie dishes.
When it comes to eating onboard, we put you in the pilot’s seat. If you’re flying with us in Premium or Upper Class, you can choose what main meal you’d like in advance.

We make sure the inflight dining experience for little ones is just as considered as the one for grown ups. We’re talking a dedicated kids’ menu with tasty, nutritious and fun meals, and plenty of snacks.
We offer deliciously different meals to cater for a range of tastes, including meals for kids and vegetarians. If you have more specific dietary requirements, such as gluten free, kosher or halal, we can cater for that too, but you’ll need to request them in advance
Challenging ourselves to do things better lies at the heart of everything we do. As an airline, we know we have a major role to play in protecting our planet. We’re working to make changes everywhere we can onboard, from removing single use plastic bottles to repairing and reusing our headsets. It’s all part of our mission to net zero, and we’re committed to every target on that journey.
We are proud to have one of the youngest and most fuel efficient fleet in the skies
