How much notice do you need for inflight catering at BHE?

For standard menus we ask for at least 24 hours, which allows us to source fresh local produce from Marlborough and Nelson. The same lead time applies to certified kosher meals. For straightforward crew-meal requests we can often work within a shorter window — contact us to discuss your schedule.

Which FBOs or handlers do you deliver to at NZWB?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft on the day. When you confirm your order, provide your handler details and parking stand and we coordinate the rest directly with the ground team.

Can you cater crew meals separately from the passenger order?

Yes. Crew meals are treated as a distinct line on every order — portioned, labelled and packed separately so there is no confusion on the flight deck or in the cabin.

Do you use local Marlborough produce?

Wherever the season and your menu allow, yes. Marlborough salmon, regional stonefruit, local olive oil and artisan cheeses feature prominently. Nelson, 59 km away, extends the range further. We will always tell you the provenance of key ingredients on request.

Can you arrange catering for an onward sector from Blenheim to Wellington or beyond?

Absolutely. Our worldwide network allows us to pre-position catering for subsequent sectors — including Wellington, 81 km to the south-east — within the same order. Confirm all legs when you first brief us and we handle coordination at each stop.

Is your catering service available for early-morning or late-night departures?

We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Early-morning departures from BHE are common in the region; breakfast and morning-flight menus are a standard part of our Blenheim offering.

Inflight Catering · Blenheim

Inflight catering in Blenheim

Blenheim sits at the centre of New Zealand's most celebrated wine-growing region, Marlborough, and the land's character shapes everything we source for your galley. Sauvignon Blanc vineyards stretch to the horizon, stone-fruit orchards line the Wairau Valley, and the Marlborough Sounds contribute some of the southern hemisphere's finest salmon and green-lipped mussels. When you order Blenheim private jet catering through Altitude Dining, these ingredients travel from producer to aircraft in a matter of hours rather than days. The town is compact and the growers are close — that proximity is the quiet advantage we leverage on every order. Our regional sourcing network extends comfortably to Nelson, 59 km to the north-west, which adds premium artisan produce, aged cheeses and small-batch preserves to the Marlborough larder. The result is a tray that genuinely tastes of the top of the South Island.

Regional Catering Menu · Blenheim

Local sourcing for BHE

Marlborough salmon, cured or lightly poached, anchors many of our cold-course offerings here — the fish is raised in the cold, clean waters of the Sounds and needs very little intervention to reach the standard befitting a private cabin. Alongside it we draw on local stonefruit — cherries, apricots and white peaches in season — alongside Marlborough olive oil and the region's celebrated artisan cheesemakers for boards and composed starters that reflect where your flight originates. For warm courses we look to the broader top-of-South-Island larder: slow-braised Canterbury lamb shoulder with Marlborough herb jus, seared Cloudy Bay clams finished with local white wine and crème fraîche, and seasonal root-vegetable gratins built around produce from the Wairau Plains. Every menu is assembled galley-ready, portioned and labelled for the crew, with nothing left to chance at altitude.
