How quickly will you respond to a catering enquiry?

Our operations desk replies in under ten minutes and is available around the clock, every day of the year — important at a remote location where departure times can change at short notice.

What kinds of aircraft can be catered at this airfield?

The runway at North Connel is best suited to turboprops and light jets. We pack and present catering appropriately for the galley configuration of the aircraft type, and we confirm all practical details — including access and timing — with the crew directly.

Can you source local Scottish produce for our uplift?

Yes, and it is one of the genuine strengths of catering from this location. Shellfish from Loch Etive and the surrounding sea lochs, estate venison, smoked salmon, and other Argyll-sourced ingredients can be incorporated into your menu. Requests for specific regional items should be made as early as possible to allow sourcing time.

Do you cater crew meals as well as principal catering?

Crew meals are a standard part of our service. We build them separately from passenger catering — practical, sustaining, and properly packed for a working crew — and price them transparently alongside the main order.

Is Kosher catering available at North Connel?

Kosher meals are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, allowing us to source correctly certified provisions and ensure the integrity of the preparation and packaging throughout the supply chain.

Can you handle multi-leg orders that include other Scottish airports?

Yes. If your itinerary connects North Connel with Glasgow, Edinburgh, Prestwick, or any other point in our worldwide network, a single point of contact manages the entire catering programme across all legs, with consistent briefing passed between our regional teams.

Private jet menu for North Connel

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited Kingdom

To start

Loch Etive Scallop Tartare

Hand-dived scallops from the sea loch, finely diced and dressed with cold-pressed rapeseed oil, sea herbs, and a light finger-lime acidity. Set in a chilled shell presentation, galley-ready.

To start

Smoked Islay Salmon, Crowdie & Rye

West-coast smoked salmon, thinly sliced and paired with whipped crowdie cheese, pickled cucumber, and seeded rye crisp. A considered use of the larder immediately to the south of North Connel.

Cold main

Argyll Venison Haunch, Celeriac & Red Wine

Slow-braised haunch of Highland venison from a local estate, pressed and sliced cold, served with celeriac remoulade and a reduced red wine jelly. Travels well; requires no reheating.

Hot main

Roast Highland Beef Fillet, Bone Marrow Jus

Dry-aged fillet sourced from an Argyll beef producer, roasted to medium-rare and finished with a concentrated bone marrow jus. Sealed and portioned for inflight regeneration.

Morning

Hebridean Oat Porridge, Heather Honey & Bramble

Stone-milled oats from a traditional Scottish mill, slow-cooked to a smooth consistency and finished with raw heather honey and a fresh bramble compote. A grounded start to any morning departure from the Highlands.

To finish

Whisky & Dark Chocolate Délice

A set chocolate délice incorporating a measured measure of Scotch whisky ganache, served with a salted oat tuile. The flavours are unmistakably of place — a fitting close to a flight departing from the west coast.

Inflight Catering · North Connel

Private aviation catering at OBN

North Connel sits at the mouth of Loch Etive, with Beinn Cruachan rising to the east and the Atlantic light shifting across the water throughout the day. It is a departure point chosen deliberately — by those heading into the Inner Hebrides, by estate guests, by anyone who values remoteness without sacrifice. The surrounding Argyll landscape shapes the larder directly: wild venison from glen estates, hand-dived scallops from the sea lochs, smoked fish from small west-coast producers, and soft fruits and heritage leaves grown at sheltered lowland holdings nearby. That regional character is something we take seriously. When a crew or principal lifts out of OBN bound for a longer sector, the catering on board should reflect where they have just been — not a generic hotel menu assembled somewhere anonymous. Glasgow lies roughly 89 km to the south-east, and Edinburgh around 138 km, giving us access to trusted urban suppliers and specialist artisan producers across the central belt, all consolidated and transported to the airfield to meet your departure window.

Regional Catering Menu · North Connel

North Connel inflight catering

The west coast of Scotland produces some of the finest shellfish in Europe, and it sits almost at North Connel's door. Loch Etive itself is known for its langoustines and mussels; Islay and the surrounding sea lochs yield oysters, hand-dived scallops, and crab landed the same morning. We work with these producers routinely, meaning that inflight catering from EGEO can offer seafood with a provenance most urban catering operations simply cannot match. Beyond shellfish, the broader Argyll pantry — aged Highland beef, air-dried meats from estate butchers, single-malt-cured salmon, oatcakes from traditional mills — gives our chefs genuine regional vocabulary to draw on. Whether the flight is a short hop across to the islands or a longer positioning sector south, we build menus that are coherent, seasonal, and properly prepared: galley-ready, chilled to specification, and packed for the realities of a small, lightly staffed airfield.
