How far in advance should I order?

For standard menus, twelve hours is a comfortable minimum. For bespoke requests — particularly those drawing on seasonal or locally sourced produce from the Garden Route — twenty-four to forty-eight hours allows us to source at the quality the menu deserves. Kosher orders require a minimum of twenty-four hours.

Which handler do you deliver to at GRJ?

We deliver to Menzies Aviation at George Airport, coordinating directly with their ramp team to ensure timing aligns with your estimated arrival and departure.

Can you source local Garden Route produce for my flight?

Yes. The region offers ostrich from the Klein Karoo, line-caught coastal fish, and stone fruit and figs from interior orchards. We integrate these into menus where the season and lead time allow, rather than treating them as a premium afterthought.

Do you cater crew meals separately?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared, portioned, and labelled independently of the passenger order. We treat crew nutrition as a genuine operational requirement, not a secondary consideration.

Can you arrange catering for a multi-leg itinerary that includes nearby airports?

Yes. Our network covers airports across southern Africa and beyond. If your route takes you from GRJ towards Gqeberha, Cape Town, or further afield, a single point of contact manages the catering brief for every leg.

What if my departure time changes after I have placed an order?

Call or message your dedicated contact immediately. We build contingency into our production and delivery scheduling precisely for this reason, and we will do everything operationally possible to adjust without compromising quality.

Inflight Catering · George

Private aviation catering at GRJ

The Garden Route is one of South Africa's most storied corridors — a ribbon of fynbos, forest, and coastline that has defined southern-hemisphere travel for generations. George serves as its natural hub, connecting passengers to a landscape that produces exceptional ingredients year-round, from the ostrich farms of Oudtshoorn less than fifty kilometres away to the oyster beds and line-caught fish that define the coastal towns stretching east towards Plettenberg Bay. This region rewards a kitchen that pays attention. Klein Karoo venison, Rooibos-cured cuts, and orchard stone fruit from the interior valleys reflect a terroir entirely distinct from Cape Town's more familiar pantry. George private jet catering, done properly, means drawing on those local strengths rather than defaulting to generic continental menus.

Regional Catering Menu · George

George inflight catering

Ostrich is the defining protein of the Klein Karoo hinterland — lean, iron-rich, and exceptionally well-suited to inflight service because it holds temperature and texture with none of the heaviness of beef. Our kitchen builds around it thoughtfully: a cold ostrich carpaccio with pickled waterblommetjie and toasted sesame, or a seared fillet rested in a shiraz jus drawn from Robertson valley reds. Alongside it, we source yellowtail and kabeljou from Garden Route waters when the season and catch allow, offering a straightforward argument for eating where you are. For lighter requirements and morning departures, the region's subtropical orchards supply nectarines, figs, and guavas that need very little intervention. Rooibos from Cederberg — accessible through our wider southern-Cape sourcing — infuses custards, pannacottas, and glaze for pâtisserie in a way that reads as distinctly South African without ever feeling contrived. Every menu is galley-ready: portioned, labelled, and packed to perform in the cabin.
