Inflight Catering · Nanaimo
Nanaimo private jet catering
Nanaimo sits on the eastern shore of Vancouver Island, facing the Strait of Georgia and backed by old-growth forest — a geography that shapes what ends up on the table. The waters immediately offshore yield spot prawns, Dungeness crab and Pacific halibut; the Cowichan Valley, less than an hour south, produces estate wines, artisan cheeses and some of Canada's most distinguished farmstead charcuterie. When you order for a morning departure, that provenance is not a talking point — it is simply what arrives in the galley box. The island's culinary identity runs deeper than seafood. Indigenous food traditions, a strong Japanese-Canadian farming heritage and a growing community of small-batch producers mean the pantry here is genuinely distinct from anything you would find at a mainland hub. Our kitchen draws on those relationships to compose menus that reflect where you are departing from, rather than menus that could have been prepared anywhere.
Regional Catering Menu · Nanaimo
Inflight catering menu for Nanaimo
Signature cold boards for Nanaimo departures lean on Fanny Bay oysters presented in their shell on crushed ice, thin-sliced smoked black cod on house-made bannock crackers, and a Cowichan Valley cheese selection dressed with wild-foraged berry compote. Hot options are built around the same ingredients: a Pacific halibut en papillote with dill crème fraîche, or a slow-braised short rib finished with a reduction of local Pinot Noir. Every menu is calibrated for galley reheating without any loss of integrity. Morning orders — a common requirement for early island departures — feature freshly baked goods from Nanaimo's independent bakeries, cold-smoked salmon with soft scrambled eggs in a sealed thermal vessel, and pressed fruit juices sourced the same day. Kosher catering is available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, arriving sealed and certified. Crew meals receive the same sourcing standard as passenger orders; there is no secondary tier.
