Which handler should I name when placing an order for CRI?

Colonel Hill does not have a named FBO on our current records. We deliver to whichever handler or ramp contact holds your aircraft — simply provide those details when you brief us and we manage the coordination directly.

What is the minimum lead time for an order here?

We ask for as much notice as possible given the island's remote position. Standard orders require at least 24 hours; kosher-certified catering requires a minimum of 24 hours as a matter of certification protocol and cannot be expedited below that threshold.

Can you source local Bahamian produce and seafood for a flight from Colonel Hill?

Yes, subject to daily availability from local fishermen and growers on Crooked Island. Conch, grouper, and spiny lobster are the most consistent local options. We confirm availability when your order is placed and supplement through Nassau for anything not obtainable on the island.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared, packaged, and labelled independently from the passenger galley. We treat them as a distinct brief — nutritionally balanced, easy to manage in a confined crew space, and reflective of the same sourcing standards applied to the cabin.

How do I reach Altitude Dining if my schedule changes on the day?

Your single point of contact is available 24 hours a day. Call or message directly and we will adjust quantities, timing, or composition as far as the supply chain allows. Changes communicated more than four hours before the original delivery window carry the most flexibility.

Can you provision aircraft positioning onward to Spring Point or Deadman's Cay from Colonel Hill?

Spring Point is approximately 40 kilometres away and Deadman's Cay around 105 kilometres. If your itinerary sequences through either strip, let us know at the time of briefing and we will consolidate the provisioning plan accordingly rather than treating each leg as a separate order.

Q: How do you deliver catering to Colonel Hill given its remote location?

We operate through a Nassau logistics channel that connects to Crooked Island on a scheduled basis. Orders are confirmed against your inbound flight time, prepared to a galley-ready standard, and transported so they arrive at the aircraft chilled, labelled, and ready to load without any further handling by the crew.

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenBahamas

To start

Crooked Island Conch Salad

Raw queen conch diced fine, dressed with sour orange juice, fresh scotch bonnet, red onion, and cucumber. Prepared to order and chilled for planeside delivery — the definitive Out Islands opening.

Cold main

Chilled Poached Grouper with Green Herb Vinaigrette

Local grouper fillet poached gently, cooled, and served with a bright vinaigrette of flat-leaf parsley, capers, and lemon. Travels at altitude without any loss of texture or flavour.

Hot main

Pan-Fried Bahamian Lobster, Drawn Butter and Lime

Spiny lobster tail from Crooked Island waters, cooked simply to preserve the sweetness of the meat. Finished with clarified butter and fresh lime — no embellishment required.

Morning

Smoked Fish and Avocado Tartine

Lightly smoked local fish on toasted sourdough with ripe avocado, pickled shallot, and micro herbs. Composed for a morning departure and portioned for easy handling in the cabin.

Pâtisserie

Coconut and Lime Tart

Crisp shortcrust shell filled with a set coconut cream curd, finished with a thin layer of lime curd and toasted coconut flake. Sourced through our Nassau pastry channel and chilled for the flight.

To finish

Dark Rum Chocolate Truffle

Bitter dark chocolate ganache made with aged Bahamian rum, rolled in cocoa powder and presented in a chilled travel box. A composed close to a meal that carries the character of the islands without excess sweetness.

Crooked Island is one of the least-touched corners of the Bahamas: bone-white beaches, bonefishing flats, and a population that numbers in the hundreds. Provisioning this far into the Out Islands requires planning ahead, and that forward discipline shapes everything we do for clients flying in and out of Colonel Hill. The island's small-scale fishermen and kitchen gardens are the obvious first source. Conch, grouper, and spiny lobster are caught close to shore; seasonal fruits and root vegetables come from family plots scattered across the settlement. We build orders around what is genuinely available, supplementing through our Nassau logistics channel when a client's brief demands ingredients that the island itself cannot supply.

Regional Catering Menu · Colonel Hill

Local sourcing for CRI

Bahamian cooking is restrained and precise in the best sense: quality protein, bright citrus, allspice, and scotch bonnet heat used with a careful hand. Conch salad — diced raw, dressed with sour orange and fresh pepper — travels exceptionally well in chilled containers and arrives at the aircraft in peak condition. Cracked conch, pan-fried grouper, and lobster prepared simply with butter and lime are the foundations of any galley brief we put together for this destination. For longer legs departing Colonel Hill, we layer the menu with provisions sourced through Nassau: charcuterie, aged cheeses, fine pastry, and structured wine pairings that hold at altitude. The balance between hyper-local Bahamian character and the broader pantry our network provides is where the real craft lies — every order is composed rather than assembled.
