Which handler do you deliver through at EGNS?

We deliver through Manx Jet Centre. Once your order is confirmed, we liaise with them directly on timing, stand, and access so that your crew does not have to coordinate between multiple parties.

Can you source Manx produce specifically — Queenie scallops, Loaghtan lamb, Peel kippers?

Yes. These are among our preferred local ingredients at this location. Availability follows seasonal and tide patterns, so we confirm stock at the time of order rather than guarantee any single item year-round.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Always. Crew meals are packed, labelled, and documented independently from the passenger cabin order. They are sized for operational realities — straightforward to eat, easy to store, and never a reduced version of the passenger menu.

Is there a minimum order value for catering at Castletown?

There is no enforced minimum, though delivery logistics to an island location mean that very small orders may carry a positioning charge. Your account manager will confirm this clearly before you commit.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free, or kosher?

Yes to all three. Vegan and gluten-free menus are available with standard lead times. Kosher catering requires 24 hours and is prepared under full supervision — please specify at the time of enquiry.

How do I reach Altitude Dining if my departure time changes at short notice?

Your single point of contact is available 24 hours a day. Call or message them directly — there is no switchboard or ticketing queue. Changes to timing, quantities, or menu items are handled in the same conversation.

The chef's menu at IOM

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenIsle of Man

To start

Manx Queenie Scallops with Cultured Butter and Chervil

Chilled and seared to order in the galley, these small, sweet scallops from the island's inshore grounds need nothing more than good butter and a light hand. Packed in a galley-ready tray for a two-minute finish.

To start

Oak-Smoked Salmon from Peel with Soda Bread and Crème Fraîche

Cold-smoked over local oak by one of Peel's established curers, sliced and dressed simply. Served alongside a portion of dense, unsweetened soda bread and a pot of lightly seasoned crème fraîche.

Hot main

Braised Loaghtan Lamb Shoulder with Root Vegetables and Rosemary Jus

The island's ancient horned breed produces meat with a depth closer to venison than commercial lamb. Slow-braised until yielding, portioned, and sealed for gentle reheating in the galley during longer sectors.

Cold main

Hand-Picked Manx Crab with Herb Mayonnaise and Cucumber

White and brown crab meat dressed separately, arranged on a chilled plate with thinly sliced cucumber and a mustard-touched mayonnaise. A cold main that requires no galley intervention.

Morning

Smoked Kipper Pâté with Toasted Rye and Pickled Shallot

Peel kippers blended into a smooth, smoky pâté, balanced with a little cream cheese and lemon. Pre-portioned in glass jars with rye toasts packed alongside. A morning or pre-departure option with genuine local character.

Pâtisserie

Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate Tart

A short-pastry case filled with Valrhona dark chocolate ganache and a thin layer of hand-made salted caramel. Finished with a flake of Maldon salt. Travels without refrigeration for sectors up to four hours.

Inflight Catering · Castletown

Castletown private jet catering

Castletown and the wider island operate on their own terms: a Crown dependency with a distinct food culture shaped by cold-water fishing grounds, upland grazing, and centuries of self-reliance. Queenie scallops dredged from Manx waters, salt-aged lamb from the island's hill farms, and smoked kippers from Peel all carry a provenance that needs no embellishment. We work directly with island suppliers to bring that produce onto your aircraft in the condition it deserves. The IOM's position in the Irish Sea places it within practical reach of Belfast, Dublin, and the Lancashire coast — a geography that broadens our sourcing options considerably. When a specific ingredient is unavailable on the island itself, our logistics reach across to those nearby hubs without adding a day to your lead time. The result is a menu that reads as genuinely local without being constrained by it.

Inflight catering menu for Castletown

Manx Queenie scallops are the ingredient that defines this location. Smaller and sweeter than their Atlantic cousins, they reward restraint: a light sear, cultured butter, and perhaps a single herb from the island's short growing season. We prepare them to order and pack them chilled for finishing in the galley — a two-minute task that produces a first course of genuine distinction. Alongside them, Manx oak-smoked salmon and hand-picked crab from local boats give a cold starter spread that speaks clearly of where the aircraft is departing from. For heartier requirements, slow-braised Loaghtan lamb — the island's ancient horned breed, with a flavour closer to venison than commercial mutton — makes an exceptional hot main when the leg time warrants it. Crew meals are handled with equal seriousness: proper food, properly packed, labelled by seat or crew role, and never an afterthought. Every order, regardless of scale, is assigned a single point of contact who remains reachable around the clock.
