Which handler should I nominate for delivery?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Robertson. Confirm the handling agent when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them so delivery is seamless on your end.

What is the latest I can order before a daylight departure?

For standard menus we ask for a minimum of four hours' notice. Complex orders or those drawing on produce consolidated from Cape Town benefit from twelve to twenty-four hours. Because both runways at Robertson are unlighted, we always cross-reference your planned departure window when confirming lead times.

Can you source Robertson Valley wine and local produce for my flight?

Yes. The valley's wine estates and fruit farms are close to the airfield, and seasonal stonefruit, citrus, olive oils, and farmhouse cheeses from the Breede River corridor feature regularly on our menus here. Specific estate labels or varietals can be requested when ordering.

Do you cater kosher meals at this airport?

Kosher catering is available at Robertson with a minimum of twenty-four hours' lead time, allowing us to source, seal, and transport certified provisions correctly. Please specify the requirement — and any relevant certification standard — when you first contact us.

Can you supply crew meals separately from the passenger order?

Absolutely. Crew meals are packaged, labelled, and delivered alongside the passenger order as a distinct consignment. Simply advise crew numbers and any dietary requirements at the time of booking.

What if I need provisions not available in the Robertson area?

Our network connects Robertson to Cape Town 121 kilometres away and to George 230 kilometres along the coast. Specialist items — particular proteins, patisserie, or imported goods — can be consolidated from those centres and delivered to the aircraft without the passenger ever needing to manage the logistics.

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenSouth Africa

Breede Valley Peach & Burrata

White-flesh peaches from the valley floor, hand-torn burrata, cold-pressed Robertson olive oil, micro basil, and a verjuice reduction. Chilled and portioned individually for cabin service.

To start

Smoked Snoek Rillettes on Seed Crackers

Western Cape snoek, hot-smoked and folded with crème fraîche, capers, and lemon zest. Piped into individual jars with seeded crackers alongside — a clean, regional opener that travels well.

Inflight catering in Robertson

The Robertson Valley is one of the Western Cape's most productive agricultural corridors — stonefruit, citrus, and table grapes harvested within kilometres of the airfield, alongside a concentration of cellar doors producing wines that rarely leave the region. For those arriving at ROD, that proximity translates directly into the galley: seasonal produce sourced at its peak, not days after transit through a central distribution hub. The town of Robertson itself occupies a stretch of the Breede River where the valley floor widens and the mountain backdrop sharpens. It is understated in the way that genuinely fertile places tend to be — productive rather than performative. We treat the catering here with the same sensibility: honest ingredients handled with precision, composed for a pressurised cabin and a discerning passenger.

Regional Catering Menu · Robertson

Local sourcing for ROD

Robertson private jet catering draws naturally on the valley's stone-fruit harvests and its dairy traditions. A chilled peach and burrata salad dressed with local cold-pressed olive oil, a slow-braised Karoo lamb shoulder portioned for the galley, or a selection of Western Cape farmhouse cheeses paired with fig preserve — these are not affectations but straightforward expressions of what grows and grazes within an hour of the runway. The region's wine heritage also informs the non-alcoholic side of the menu. Verjuice reductions, grape-must glazes, and muscat-infused syrups appear across both savoury and pastry courses, giving Robertson catering a flavour profile that is distinctly its own. Where a passenger requests kosher preparation, we require twenty-four hours of lead time to source and seal appropriately certified provisions.
