golden sultana sauce as an accompaniment to sausage rolls. Evening diners will be able to feast on sumptuous lemon and herb roasted chicken, as well as a new chicken curry dish created in the chef’s development kitchen.
Alison Watson, Customer Experience Director at Virgin Trains on the East Coast, added: “This is another step in Virgin Trains’ journey of improving every element of our customers’ experience when they travel with us. Our new First Class carriages are rolling out on a weekly basis now, we are upgrading our First Class lounges for customers, and we have a totally new fleet of trains in the pipeline, too.
“However, we are also focusing on getting the experience right for our customers today, and a revitalised menu is another important element of that. We’re confident the menu James is designing with our team will be the finest dining any UK train operator can boast and will be another step in making our customers’ journeys even better.”
The partnership is part of the train service's £140m revamp to their East Coast route starting next month which will include a major fleet revamp, smarter stations and exciting new routes. It will also include 42 additional services (22,000 extra seats) per week between Edinburgh and London with new Azuma trains being built by Hitachi for 2018.
