Which handler should I specify for delivery?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the day. Let us know at the time of briefing and we will coordinate directly with them to ensure a planeside handover.

Can you cater crew meals separately from the passenger order?

Yes. Crew meals are prepared, packaged, and labelled independently of the cabin order. We recommend briefing both requirements together so timing and temperature control are managed as a single operation.

Do you offer kosher options at this location?

Kosher meals are available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice, allowing us to source certified provisions and maintain the required chain of custody through to delivery.

What is your lead time for a full passenger order?

For most orders, four to six hours is sufficient. More elaborate menus — multi-course dinners, dietary-complex orders, or large passenger numbers — benefit from twelve to twenty-four hours' notice to allow for proper sourcing and preparation.

Can you support last-minute or same-day requests?

We operate twenty-four hours a day and handle same-day requests regularly. Availability of specific items may be limited at short notice, but our team will present the best options within your timeframe.

Do you cater for onward legs departing from other airports in the region?

Our network covers airports across the region and beyond. If your routing takes you through Topeka, Salina, or further afield, your point of contact can coordinate catering for subsequent legs from a single brief.

Private jet menu for Manhattan

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

Cold main

Flint Hills Beef Tenderloin, Horseradish Cream

Kansas-raised beef tenderloin, sliced thin and served cold with a sharp horseradish cream and pickled mustard seeds. Holds well in the cabin and plates cleanly without reheating.

To start

Heritage Wheat Salad, Roasted Squash, Toasted Pepitas

Whole grain heritage wheat tossed with roasted butternut squash, toasted pepitas, and a cider vinegar dressing. Substantial enough to anchor a meal, clean enough to work as a side.

Hot main

Braised Short Rib, Soft Polenta, Wilted Greens

Slow-braised Kansas beef short rib finished with a red wine reduction, served over soft polenta with wilted bitter greens. Reheats evenly in the galley oven.

Morning

Soft-Scrambled Eggs, Chive Crème Fraîche, House Bread

Free-range eggs scrambled low and slow, finished with chive crème fraîche and served alongside a thick slice of house-baked granary bread. A reliable morning course at any altitude.

Pâtisserie

Brown Butter Financier, Prairie Honey

Classic financier baked in individual portions with brown butter and almond flour, finished with a drizzle of local Kansas honey. Travels without compromise.

To finish

Dark Chocolate Tart, Malted Cream

A short-pastry shell filled with a 70% dark chocolate ganache, set firm for easy service and paired with a lightly malted whipped cream on the side.

Inflight Catering · Manhattan

Private aviation catering at MHK

Manhattan, Kansas carries a quiet confidence that suits it well — a college town anchored by Kansas State University, surrounded by tallgrass prairie that stretches to the horizon. The region's agricultural heritage runs deep, and that translates directly to the quality of ingredients available to our kitchen: beef raised on Kansas pasture, grain-fed and consistent, alongside seasonal produce sourced from the farms that define this part of the plains. Topeka sits roughly ninety kilometres to the east, and Salina a similar distance to the west, placing Manhattan at a practical crossroads for travellers moving through central Kansas. Our sourcing team draws on this corridor — working with suppliers across the region to ensure that what arrives in your galley reflects where you are, not where your aircraft last departed from.

Regional Catering Menu · Manhattan

Manhattan inflight catering

Kansas beef is the obvious starting point, and we make no apology for leaning into it. Our kitchen prepares it with the restraint that fine cuts deserve — dry-aged where lead time allows, sliced cold for cabin service or finished hot for a proper plated course. Alongside it, we build menus around the grains and legumes that grow in abundance across the surrounding counties: farro, heritage wheat, and pulse-based salads that hold well at altitude without sacrificing texture or flavour. For morning departures, we favour a Midwestern sensibility — substantial without being heavy. House-baked breads, soft-scrambled eggs prepared to order, and fruit selections drawn from whatever is in season regionally. Kosher requirements are accommodated with twenty-four hours' notice. Every order is assembled galley-ready, labelled by course, and delivered to whichever handler holds your aircraft.
