Flew today in economy from Manchester, but it was the old menu still. Barbecue chicken or mac n cheese.

Annoyingly we've had our pre-order options come through for our flight in UC from Manchester and there's none of the pre-order exclusives it mentions, just the pie, cod and pumpkin thing.

Seems a bit of a rip-off going from Manchester considering London gets the separate wing and then all these exclusive pre-orders too!

We did upper to New York a couple of weeks ago and I ordered the pie. It was nasty!

It is beyond me why they serve fish too as it stinks the entire plane out

You are spot-on there. Virgin treat their Manchester Upper Class passengers with contempt. They offer none of the perks they do at Heathrow (drive-thru check-in / private wing / security channel / proper Clubhouse etc). On-board catering options for pre-order are just the standard 3 off the onboard menu. Yet they charge pretty much an identical fare to Heathrow - in some cases a few £ more for even the same fare bucket code.

It is telling that when you return to Manchester from the USA you normally get 8 pre-order options for your meal (the 3 on the menu + 5 exclusives). Shows exactly where Virgin are splashing the cash on the catering contracts, i.e. London & USA bases. Manchester just gets seen as an inconvenience.
