Do you work with a specific handler at EGPB?

We are handler-agnostic at this airfield. Whichever company holds your aircraft, we coordinate delivery directly to the aircraft side through them — you deal only with us.

Can you source fresh Shetland produce for a same-day order?

Subject to availability from our local supply partners, fresh Shetland salmon, scallops, and lamb can be incorporated into same-day orders. We recommend confirming at least four hours ahead to guarantee specific items.

Is kosher catering available at Lerwick?

Yes. Kosher meals are available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice, allowing us to arrange certified preparation and maintain full chain-of-custody documentation to the aircraft.

Are your pack formats suited to smaller aircraft galleys?

All Lerwick orders are prepared in compact, portioned formats appropriate for the cabin-class and turboprop aircraft that typically operate through EGPB. Nothing arrives requiring re-plating equipment that a small crew would not carry.

Can you cater a return leg departing from elsewhere in Scotland?

Yes. Through our wider network we can coordinate catering for onward or return sectors from Aberdeen, Inverness, or any other Scottish or UK departure point, managed through your single point of contact.

What is the lead time for a standard crew meal order?

Crew meals can be confirmed and delivered with as little as two hours' notice at Lerwick, though we recommend earlier contact when local specialist ingredients are required.

Inflight Catering · Lerwick

Inflight catering in Lerwick

Lerwick and the surrounding Shetland archipelago occupy a latitude closer to Bergen than to Edinburgh, and the islands wear that geography honestly — in the quality of their seafood, the texture of their lamb, and the particular clarity of the air. Sourcing here demands relationships, and ours reach into the local catching and farming communities that have supplied these waters and hillsides for generations. The town of Lerwick itself, roughly thirty-five kilometres from the airfield, is a working harbour town rather than a resort, and the produce that moves through it reflects genuine provenance. Shetland salmon, hand-dived scallops, and native breed mutton are not marketing constructs on these islands — they are simply what is raised and landed here, and they form the honest foundation of everything we plate for departure.

Regional Catering Menu · Lerwick

Local sourcing for LSI

Our kitchen treats Shetland's cold-water shellfish as the centrepiece of any northbound or southbound itinerary. Scallops seared to order and finished with a brown-butter dressing, smoked salmon prepared in the traditional cure, and dressed crab served with hand-cut rye are among the preparations that make a short sector through LSI feel distinctly worth the stop. For warm service at altitude, Shetland lamb — slow-braised with root vegetables and finished with a whisky jus — travels exceptionally well in a properly sealed galley container. We balance richer preparations with lighter options sourced from the same regional larder: salads of heritage leaves, locally foraged sea purslane, and aged Orkney cheese plates that require nothing more than correct temperature to perform at their best.
