INGREDIENT STORY
We partnered with Virgin Trains to create this bespoke chutney as part of our shared commitment to sustainability. To make it, we took the apples from on-board the Virgin Trains that were a smidge too bruised after a day of travel to be sold. We then added our unique blend of seasonings and turned it into a delicious chutney. This chutney was then served on the First Class menu cheeseboard as well as the Ploughman's sandwich which was available from the onboard shop.
Each week we collected approximately 1,300 apples that would be thrown away from the train’s catering service and then turned them into a delicious chutney that was featured on the first-class menu.
Together we saved over 137,000 apples which would otherwise have gone to waste. This makes a carbon saving of 6,000 kg of CO2E which is the equivalent of 158 train journeys from London to Edinburgh.
