Te One private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenNew Zealand

To start
Chatham Island Crayfish, Tarragon Butter
Cold-dressed crayfish tail, halved and finished with a tarragon and cultured-butter emulsion, island sea salt, and a slick of chardonnay vinegar gel. Galley-ready in a sealed ceramic dish.
To start
Seared Pāua, Rye Crisp, Whipped Feta
Thin-sliced pāua seared to order, cooled and plated on house-baked rye crisp with whipped New Zealand feta and a preserved lemon crumb. A direct expression of the Chatham archipelago in miniature.
Cold main
Cold Poached Hapuku, Cucumber, Dill Oil
A thick loin of hapuku — New Zealand's finest reef fish — poached in a light court-bouillon, chilled, and set alongside shaved cucumber, micro dill, and a cold-pressed dill oil. Clean and precise.
Hot main
Braised South Island Lamb Shoulder, Kumara Purée
Slow-braised lamb shoulder pressed and portioned, reheatable in-galley in under twelve minutes, served with a smooth kumara purée and a reduction of the braising liquor with rosemary and juniper.
Morning
Manuka Honey & Oat Porridge, Feijoa Compote
Steel-cut oats cooked with full-cream New Zealand milk, sweetened with raw manuka honey, and finished with a feijoa and vanilla compote. Travels in a sealed jar, reheats evenly in a standard galley oven.
Pâtisserie
Hokey Pokey Mille-Feuille
A composed mille-feuille layered with Chantilly cream and a hokey pokey honeycomb praline — a nod to a distinctly New Zealand confectionery tradition, executed with pastry-kitchen precision and packaged flat for galley stability.

Inflight Catering · Te One

Private jet catering in Te One

The Chatham Islands occupy a latitude and longitude that belong to neither the Pacific nor the Tasman — a genuinely remote archipelago governed by its own quiet rhythms. The local economy turns on fishing and farming, and the seafood harvested from these waters, particularly pāua and crayfish, carries a depth of flavour that mainland supply chains rarely replicate. We work with island-side suppliers where lead times permit, so provisions can carry a genuinely local character rather than a generic regional label. Because CHT stands alone — the nearest comparable airports lie beyond 700 kilometres of open water near Masterton, Napier, and Gisborne on the North Island — logistics here demand early planning. Altitude Dining builds that planning into every order confirmation, coordinating inbound provisioning well ahead of your departure window so nothing is left to chance on an island where the next resupply flight is never guaranteed.

Fresh catering for Te One flights

Chatham Island crayfish, when available through advance arrangement, represents one of the most compelling inflight catering stories in the New Zealand network. Cold-dressed and portioned galley-ready, it travels exceptionally well and arrives at the plate with none of the compromise that frozen alternatives carry. Alongside it, locally sourced pāua can be incorporated into a refined starter — seared thin, finished with cultured butter and island sea salt — that grounds the menu in a place most passengers will have seen only once. For crew meals and shorter-notice requests, we draw on our wider New Zealand provisioning network, ensuring that even when island-sourced produce cannot be confirmed within your lead time, the standard of preparation does not fall. Freshly baked rye, sustainable fish preparations, and South Island dairy feature across our cold and hot menus, assembled and chilled to galley-ready specification before your handling agent confirms uplift.

Frequently asked

Given the island's remoteness, we recommend a minimum of 48 hours for standard orders and 72 hours or more for anything requiring local Chatham Island produce. This allows us to coordinate inbound provisioning and confirm availability before you finalise your menu.
