Martin Morales to open Ceviche pop-up with Virgin Atlantic at Heathrow
Martin Morales, owner and executive chef of Peruvian restaurant Ceviche in London, has partnered with Virgin Atlantic to launch the airline's first pop-up restaurant, at Heathrow Airport.
Available to Upper Class customers travelling through Virgin Atlantic's Clubhouse from 12 to 18 August, the pop up will be positioned in the Loft area of the lounge.
Morales first opened Ceviche as a pop-up in London last year before finding a permanent home in Soho last March.
He commented: "At Ceviche we love doing things people have never done before. Innovation is key in what we do, and above all, it's fun to do new stuff. We love serving Peruvian food and cocktails, so we are excited by our collaboration with Virgin Atlantic.
"This is the first restaurant pop-up with Virgin Atlantic, and we think the combination of our food with their outstanding Clubhouse is perfect. It's only on for a week so it's a real one off treat for us all."
The Ceviche pop-up will serve healthy Peruvian dishes such as its well-known sea bass dish, Don Ceviche; drunk scallops (king scallops with pomegranate, Pisco and coriander oil); and ensalada de quinoa (quinoa cereal salad with Limo chilli, red onions and lime juice vinaigrette) to passengers from 12 noon to 2:30pm for one week only.
Mark Murphy, Virgin Atlantic's Clubhouse food and beverage executive, said: "Our aim at Virgin Atlantic is to constantly surprise our customers when they travel with us. Ceviche is famous for pioneering one of the most exciting cuisines around, and we are so pleased to be partnering with them to open the first ever pop-up restaurant in our Clubhouse at Heathrow.
"It's our aim to offer Upper Class customers an ever-changing experience, and this will give them the chance to enjoy the tastes of Lima with the buzz of Soho before they fly."
