How much notice do you need for an order?

We ask for as much lead time as your schedule permits. For standard inflight catering, same-day service is possible; for kosher-certified meals, a minimum of 24 hours is required to maintain unbroken chain-of-custody from the certifying kitchen.

Which handler do you deliver to at Castelo Branco?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Because no single named FBO has been designated here, we confirm logistics directly with your ground contact and coordinate arrival to match your departure timeline precisely.

Can you cater a multi-leg itinerary that includes other Portuguese airports?

Yes. We regularly provision across connected legs — including operations continuing to or from VSE, LIS, and OPO — under a single order brief. Packaging, labelling and timing are adjusted leg by leg, with one point of contact throughout.

Do you use local Portuguese produce?

Wherever the itinerary and lead time allow, yes. The Beira Baixa region surrounding Castelo Branco produces Serra da Estrela cheese, Iberian charcuterie, and cold-pressed olive oils that form the foundation of many of our boards and hot dishes for this location.

How are meals packaged for the aircraft?

All items are delivered galley-ready: portioned, labelled, and packed to the temperature and format appropriate for onboard service. Hot dishes arrive in catering-grade insulated carriers; cold plates and boards are chilled and sealed to maintain condition from delivery through service.

Is Castelo Branco suitable for wide-body or heavy jet operations?

The runway at LPCB is 1,460 metres of asphalt, which accommodates lighter turboprops and smaller jets. Larger or heavier aircraft types should be assessed against current performance data by your flight operations team; we calibrate our catering service to whatever aircraft is confirmed on the order.

Castelo Branco private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPortugal

To start

Serra da Estrela with honey-roasted fig and walnuts

Young Serra da Estrela — soft enough to spoon — served alongside roasted figs, broken walnuts and a drizzle of dark wildflower honey from the Beira uplands. Presented on a cooled slate board with cornbread crisps.

To start

Iberian charcuterie and pickled pepper board

A selection of presunto, paio and chouriço from acorn-finished black pigs, arranged with house-pickled sweet peppers, cornichons and sourdough. Built for sharing across two to four passengers.

Cold main

Herb-cured river trout with white bean purée and olive oil

Cold-cured trout fillet seasoned with fresh dill, lemon zest and coarse salt, plated over a smooth white bean purée finished with Beira Baixa extra-virgin olive oil and a few capers.

Hot main

Slow-braised kid with roasted root vegetables and bay

Kid shoulder braised low and long with local red wine, garlic and bay leaf until the meat yields completely. Portioned into individual catering dishes with roasted carrot, turnip and a reduction of the cooking liquor.

Morning

Cornbread, olive oil and soft cheese morning plate

A simple, grounded start to an early departure: thick-sliced Beira-style cornbread, a ramekin of cold-pressed olive oil for dipping, fresh curd cheese and a small pot of quince paste.

Pâtisserie

Pastel de nata with cinnamon sugar and espresso

Classically laminated custard tarts baked to order and delivered warm, dusted with cinnamon and fine sugar. Paired with a sealed espresso flask — a straightforward, unhurried finish to any service.

Inflight Catering · Castelo Branco

Private jet catering in Castelo Branco

Castelo Branco sits at the heart of the Beira Baixa, a landscape of granite hilltowns, olive groves and cork oak that has shaped a kitchen of quiet authority. The region produces some of Portugal's most distinctive olive oils, cured meats from the black Iberian pig, and Serra da Estrela cheese — a raw-milk sheep's cheese with a soft, almost molten interior that has no genuine substitute. These are not decorative flourishes on a menu; they are the larder from which our culinary team builds. The town itself is known for its embroidery, its medieval castle gardens, and a civic seriousness that suits the surrounding highland terrain. That same temperament guides how we source here: directly, without intermediary theatre, from producers who have worked the same land for generations. The result is aircraft catering that carries a genuine sense of place rather than a generic Continental gloss.

Regional Catering Menu · Castelo Branco

Fresh catering for Castelo Branco flights

Beira Baixa charcuterie anchors many of the boards we prepare for Castelo Branco departures — presunto from acorn-finished Iberian pigs, chouriço with a slow paprika heat, and thinly sliced paio alongside local cornbread and preserved peppers. Alongside these, we build cold presentations using Serra da Estrela in its traditional form: cured firm enough to slice, or young enough to spoon. Both travel exceptionally well at altitude when temperature-managed from the moment of packing. For hot galley services, the Beira interior tradition of slow-braised meats — kid, lamb, wild rabbit with red wine and bay — translates cleanly into the precise portion formats required for inflight catering. We also prepare lighter options drawing on the region's vegetable gardens: roasted pumpkin with aged vinegar, white bean purées finished with local olive oil, and herb-cured trout from the cold rivers of the Serra. Crew meals receive the same sourcing rigour as passenger services; no secondary menu, no shortcuts.
