Sadly not; "hot snack service to First Class customers". The 0843 is the last Edinburgh-bound service with the Breakfast offering.

Oh ok thanks. Do you know the last train from Euston towards Birmingham that is a Breakfast service? Or the last from Birmingham towards London? The online timetables are down.

The last breakfast service leaving Euston all day is the 09:43 11 car Pendo to Glasgow via Birmingham, all services after this time which leave in the morning offer a lighter “brunch” menu

The last service from Birmingham-Euston with Breakfast service is the 0945 Wolverhampton (1010 Birmingham New St)-Euston.

Also, the online timetables are working for me, I've just checked. :)

Plus, I’m pretty sure that the 0945 from Wolverhampton is a Voyager so, not such an extensive breakfast offer

It's difficult to tell from the timetable. It would be very helpful if Virgin were like EMT and marked the booked traction in the timetable headers.

Looking at RTT the path is for a voyager*, also it appears to attach to another unit at Wolverhampton.

(*yes I know the timing load doesn't always equal what actually will tip up, but for Virgin WC it is normally correct)

Currently In 1st On 0803 Euston to New Street. No chef on board so only porridge or fruit available today. Though at least it is a pendolino as I think it is booked as a voyager.

The 08:03 Euston to Birmingham is booked to be a Super Voyager, so I'm guessing it normally wouldn't have a chef, owing to Super Voyagers not having a full kitchen/they only offer the pre-cooked, heated up onboard version of a cooked breakfast, which presumably doesn't need a chef to heat up.
