Catering to your aircraft in Warroad.
Winter makes the schedule at Warroad, Minnesota, so the food has to hold. We pack by seat number for the galley on your aircraft and deliver to the FBO or your handling agent at KRRT.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.

Ask what a Warroad trip should taste like and the answer is Minnesota north woods. Our private jet menu for Warroad leans on local specialities: walleye, wild rice, smoked fish and the rye and pastry traditions of Scandinavian settlers. The region is Minnesota, and the product follows the season.
Walleye goes aboard as a ready-to-finish fillet with its sauce apart; wild rice turns into a hot pilaf or a chilled salad depending on the galley. A smoked-fish board with curds and crackers works as a cold lunch that waits in the drawer.
Our inflight menu groups private jet platters for the cabin, gourmet inflight meals for the main service and private jet snacks for the climb or the hockey-night return. Private jet food on this field is cold-weather food: warming soups, rice dishes and sturdy bakes that survive a long taxi on a cold apron.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Warroad sits on Lake of the Woods country, where winter departures hinge on ice, wind and a single runway at 1,076 ft. Our private jet catering for Warroad International Memorial is written for the flight attendant on that ramp: inflight catering and in-flight catering packed for the galley you actually fly, aviation catering handed over at the FBO, and cabin crew meals that travel with the same order. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering here stay simple, and diplomatic flight catering follows protocol when a delegation crosses the border.
Who flies into KRRT? Mostly corporate teams, families bound for the lake and charter groups for hockey weekends. For business jet catering and corporate jet catering we ask for the type and seats first; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow, with a private jet chef shaping a bespoke menu. Luxury inflight catering at Warroad is plain, warm and well finished.
A government aircraft landing at KRRT brings its own rules: cleared menus, traceable sourcing and a small named crew. We handle government flight catering and head of state flight catering this way, with VIP aviation catering kept private, and state visit aircraft catering agreed with the protocol office.
Special meals at Warroad follow a procedure, not a label. Local cooking leans on butter, flour and fish, so kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free plates are cooked on separate boards and sealed, with the allergen free tray marked by seat number. Dairy and shellfish stay out of the kitchen lane when asked, and kids meals are simple, mild and sized for small hands.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at Warroad are on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest, and packed so they eat on the move. Flight crew meals and pilot meals travel in separate boxes from the guest trays; cockpit meals are one-handed, and different meals for pilots can be arranged per operator policy. Crew catering and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, never mixed with passenger trays, and cabin crew meals are packed for the jumpseat.
The general aviation terminal at KRRT is small, so catering delivery to the FBO is simple: one door, one contact. FBO catering is coordinated with your handling agent, ground handling catering follows your slot, and handling agent catering is agreed in advance.
Most traffic into KRRT is light and midsize business jets, so galley catering here is carried by hand, in boxes, up the airstair. When a larger aircraft needs more, the handling agent arranges airside catering delivery with a high loader, and the aircraft provisioning list is matched to the door height and the galley layout before anything is packed.

KRRT is a border-country airport in Minnesota, set among lakes and forests. Airport catering is simple here: a short ramp, a general aviation terminal and a quiet handover to the aircraft.
Warroad is a seasonal business aviation hub. Hockey weekends and fishing trips drive demand, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering follow that calendar. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are usually light, diplomatic flight catering is occasional, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the rest. General aviation and FBO services here are modest, with ground handling services scaled to the field.
Flights arriving from Canada pass US customs at the border, and food rules apply: fresh meat, dairy and produce are commonly refused. That is why we cook on this side, seal the order and hand it over at the FBO, so nothing needs declaring.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Small packing details became important at Warroad International Memorial Airport: our 7 passengers wanted vegetarian wraps and colourful salads, and we had limited fridge space. For private jet menu, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sandwiches to be packed accordingly. The snack boxes were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
“The 8 passenger portions of roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings were the easy part; managing an evening cabin service at KRRT took more planning. I want a private jet chef to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I asked The Galley Girls to review the canapés quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the salads before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Clear quantities were essential at RRT: we had 8 passengers expecting yoghurt pots and fresh berries and were working around an evening cabin service. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the sauces could be arranged during service. The canapés stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. The order made in flight catering feel manageable because the galley preparation had been considered beforehand.”
Because US food-import rules apply to anything arriving from abroad, the cost of private jet catering at KRRT depends on whether items are sourced locally or already on board. A wild rice salad is modest; smoked fish and a hot walleye main cost more. We quote by menu.
On a light jet the galley decides everything, so lead time here is mostly a question of choosing dishes that suit one oven. Tell us the type and we cook for it; last-minute requests into KRRT are handled.
Winter delays at KRRT leave you with food packed for the wrong time, so we sequence it: chilled items hold, hot dishes are finished once the departure is firm. Customs-wise, anything imported on board can be inspected, so we recommend local sourcing.
Arriving with catering from elsewhere means customs may remove it. We suggest ordering the return from Warroad: a hot pilaf, a smoked fish board, and crew meals on request, all invoiced as a separate order.
Catering stays separate from a charter into Warroad. For a night leg, we label by seat, keep sauces apart, and deliver to the aircraft once your slot is firm.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
