How much notice do you need for Margate private jet catering?

We work to your schedule and accommodate short-notice requests wherever possible. For standard orders, a few hours is usually sufficient. Kosher provisions require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to ensure full certification compliance.

Do you deliver directly to the aircraft at FAMG?

Yes. All provisions arrive galley-ready and are delivered planeside, coordinated with whichever handler is managing your aircraft. We do not require you to have a specific FBO arrangement in place.

Can you source fresh local produce for flights departing Margate?

The KwaZulu-Natal South Coast supplies good subtropical produce, fresh line fish and shellfish. Where the immediate area cannot meet a requirement, we draw on Durban's supply network to complete the order without compromising freshness.

Do you provide crew meals as well as cabin catering?

Crew meals are a standard part of our service. They are packaged separately from cabin provisions, clearly labelled, and priced straightforwardly — no minimum cabin order is required to add a crew option.

Can you cater dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free or halal?

Yes. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and halal options are available across all menu categories. Please specify requirements at the time of ordering so the kitchen can build them in from the outset rather than adapt an existing dish.

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

Contact your dedicated point of contact as soon as the change is confirmed. We adjust preparation and delivery schedules accordingly and will advise you promptly if any element of the order is affected by the revised timeline.

Private jet catering menu for Margate

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Margate departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenSouth Africa

To start

Grilled Natal Prawn Skewer

South Coast prawns marinated in lemon, garlic and a touch of peri-peri, grilled and chilled, served with a pickled cucumber and coriander salsa. Packaged for easy planeside service.

Cold main

Line Fish Niçoise

Locally landed white fish, poached and cooled, set over green beans, quail egg, olive-dressed potato and caperberries. A cold plate that holds its composure throughout a short or medium-haul flight.

Hot main

Chakalaka-Braised Lamb Shank

Free-range Karoo lamb slow-braised in a chakalaka and tomato sauce with KwaZulu-Natal spicing, served with saffron pearl barley and wilted spinach. Travels well and reheats evenly.

Morning

Avocado and Smoked Trout Tartine

Sourdough from a Durban artisan bakery, spread with crème fraîche, layered with cold-smoked trout and sliced South Coast avocado, finished with lemon zest and micro herbs.

Pâtisserie

Koeksister Mille-Feuille

A refined interpretation of the South African classic — spiced syrup-soaked pastry laminated with Chantilly cream and a thin layer of naartjie curd. Two portions per box, individually wrapped.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Amarula Pot

A set ganache of 70% dark chocolate loosened with Amarula cream liqueur, topped with a thin praline disc and a pinch of flaked sea salt. Served chilled in a sealed glass jar.

Inflight catering in Margate

Margate sits at the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, a stretch of warm Indian Ocean shoreline known for its unhurried character and surprisingly fertile hinterland. The region's fishing communities land prawns, crayfish and a variety of line fish daily, and small farms inland supply subtropical fruit, avocados and heritage vegetables that rarely travel far before reaching a kitchen. Because the South Coast larder is compact and well-connected by road, we draw on Durban's wider food network — one of South Africa's most culinarily diverse cities, roughly 157 km to the north — to supplement anything the immediate coast cannot supply. The result is a menu palette that is genuinely local, not merely regional in name.

Local sourcing for MGH

KwaZulu-Natal's culinary identity is one of South Africa's most distinctive: Zulu braai traditions sit alongside the spice-forward cooking inherited from the province's Indian community, producing combinations — bunny chow-inspired sauces, pickled masala, chakalaka condiments — that translate beautifully into refined inflight formats. Our kitchen team builds these flavours into composed dishes designed to hold well at altitude without losing their integrity. For those who prefer more familiar inflight catering profiles, we produce classical cold plates, charcuterie and pâtisserie to the same standard. Kosher provisions are available with 24 hours' notice. Every order — from a crew meal for two to a full-cabin tasting sequence — is assembled in galley-ready packaging, labelled by course and cleared for immediate service on boarding.
