Private aircraft catering from Chef Nina Bernard

When a charter leg leaves early or a long-haul departure pushes late from BHE, Nina Bernard times production to meet it. She cooks what reheats cleanly in a galley oven, plates cold service that holds across the flight, and answers directly when the schedule tightens. Orders are packed to your passenger count, labelled for allergens, and delivered airside on the slot you set. One chef, one order, one contact through to the aircraft door.

Background

Nina Bernard is a classically trained Private Jet Chef with over a decade of experience crafting exceptional cuisine at altitude. She specializes in translating refined culinary techniques into elegant, travel-ready dishes that honor seasonal ingredients and contemporary French gastronomy.

How the operations week is organised at BHE

Crew and handling agents work tighter schedules at Woodbourne Airport, and lead time matters. To order private jet catering for a departure from BHE, allow twenty-four hours for standard requests; forty-eight smooths production when the slot list is sparse. A single contact covers the order, the private jet catering quote, and any late change. Crews brief oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type; the kitchen times production against your departure slot. Delivery runs synchronise with fuelling, and one order covers the cabin and flight deck alike.

BHE operations often involve coordinating multiple suppliers across your fleet—a process that consumes time you don't have. Private aviation catering through a single contact simplifies that: one order covering the aircraft you're running today, consistent documented protocols, and high loader capability where available for larger cabin configurations. The kitchen preparing your order works to same-day schedules, with cooking timed against your departure slot and plating sealed immediately to preserve cold-chain integrity. Dedicated cold rooms, separate allergen prep stations, and labelling that meets your crew's briefing needs are standard across every airport we cover. When you're managing back-to-back legs into Blenheim or building a charter sequence across New Zealand, business aviation catering that answers on the first call and confirms within the hour reduces the variables you're carrying.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery and VIP flight catering at Woodbourne Airport

From charter legs to private departures, flight catering for BHE follows the field's quieter pace. Badged drivers deliver airside in temperature-controlled vehicles, handing over at your FBO or directly at the aircraft door on the time you nominate. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are packed on the same run, sealed and labelled per passenger. High loader capability is confirmed at the time of order for larger cabins, serving galley doors at height where available. Cold chain is held from kitchen to ramp, and handover aligns with fuelling and pre-flight checks.

Seasonal produce sourced near Blenheim
Inflight catering — New Zealand

Flight catering built around what the season allows at BHE

Woodbourne Airport holds limited on-site infrastructure and short handling hours, yet your inflight menu remains flexible. Orders are planned further ahead to meet the rhythm of the field, built around what the market offers each month. Seasonal produce shapes the private jet menu: asparagus and lamb in spring, stone fruit and greens through summer, root vegetables and brassicas as autumn turns. Cold platters hold well across long legs; mains reheat predictably in a galley oven. Supply stays short, and the kitchen preparing your order works within what arrives fresh that week.
