How much notice do you need for an order at VHY?

For standard menus, including crew meals and most passenger dining, we ask for as much notice as your schedule allows. Short-notice requests are handled on a best-effort basis. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours' lead time.

Which handlers at Charmeil do you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler is holding your aircraft at the time of departure. When you place your order, simply confirm the handling arrangements and we coordinate the rest directly with the ground team.

Can you source local Auvergne produce for a flight departing from Charmeil?

Yes. Our sourcing team works with regional suppliers across the Auvergne — including Cantal and Saint-Nectaire cheese producers, Charolais beef farmers, and Le Puy lentil growers. When you specify local produce, we build the menu around what is available at that time.

Do you cater for crew meals as well as passenger dining?

Crew meals are a core part of every order. We prepare them to the same standards as passenger menus — properly balanced, easy to manage in a cockpit environment, and packaged to stay fresh across the duty period.

Can Altitude Dining cover my onward legs from other airports?

Yes. Our network operates across airports worldwide. If your itinerary continues from Andrézieux-Bouthéon, Clermont-Ferrand, or any other airfield, your single point of contact handles catering coordination for every leg under one brief.

What dietary requirements can you accommodate?

We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal, and other requirements as standard at the time of order. Kosher catering is available with 24 hours' notice. Please specify all requirements when placing your order.

Inflight catering menu for Charmeil

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenFrance

Hot main

Truffade d'Auvergne

Waxy Cantal-region potatoes slowly worked with tomme fraîche until the interior sets to a yielding, savoury mass. Finished with flat-leaf parsley and a scraping of aged Cantal on the surface. Portioned for individual galley service.

Cold main

Lentille Verte du Puy, Magret Fumé

AOC green lentils from the volcanic soils south of Clermont-Ferrand, dressed warm with walnut oil and sherry vinegar, layered with fine slices of smoked duck breast and a scattering of fines herbes.

To start

Pounti Terrine, Prune & Blette

A traditional Auvergne terrine of minced pork, Swiss chard, and Agen prunes, baked firm and sliced cold. Served with cornichons and a small pot of grain mustard from the Allier.

To finish

Saint-Nectaire & Walnut Bread

A basalt-cave-aged Saint-Nectaire at peak maturity, served with thick slices of walnut bread baked in-house and a side of acacia honey. A straightforward expression of the Auvergne plateau at its most confident.

Pâtisserie

Millard aux Cerises Noires

The Auvergne's answer to clafoutis — a lightly set batter of eggs, cream, and flour baked around whole black cherries. Portioned in individual ramekins, dusted with icing sugar before dispatch.

To start

Assiette Charcutière du Livradois

A restrained selection of cured meats from the Livradois hills — rosette, coppa, and a dry-cured saucisson sec — arranged with pickled walnuts, sourdough crispbreads, and unsalted Auvergne butter.

Inflight Catering · Charmeil

Inflight catering for Charmeil flights

Charmeil sits within one of France's most quietly distinguished food regions. The Auvergne produces some of the country's most characterful ingredients — volcanic-soil lentils from Le Puy, Salers and Saint-Nectaire cheeses aged in basalt caves, Charolais beef raised on the broad plateaux that stretch toward Clermont-Ferrand some 46 kilometres to the south. These are not decorative references; they are the raw materials our sourcing team draws on when building a menu for your departure. The broader Allier corridor extends this larder further. Bourbon-Lancy charcuterie, freshwater crayfish from the upper Loire tributaries, and walnut oils pressed in small-batch mills across the Combrailles all reach our preparation kitchen in time to be finished, packed, and delivered galley-ready to your aircraft. When local produce is specified, we build the order around what the region is actually offering at that moment.

Regional Catering Menu · Charmeil

Charmeil private jet catering

Auvergne cuisine rewards understatement. A truffade built on waxy Cantal potatoes and melting tomme fraîche, a slow-braised pounti terrine lifted with Swiss chard and prunes, or a simple arrangement of charcuterie from the Livradois hills — these are dishes that travel with authority because they are coherent from the first ingredient. Our chefs adapt them for altitude service without softening the flavours that make them worth ordering. For passengers who prefer lighter inflight catering, the same regional intelligence applies. Cured Charolais bresaola, Saint-Nectaire paired with walnut bread, or a lentil and smoked duck salad dressed with Auvergne mustard are all consistent with the territory and consistent with eating well at altitude. Kosher menus are available with 24 hours' notice; all other dietary requirements are handled as standard at the time of order.
