Catering to your aircraft in Varna.
LBWN is a seasonal field: quiet in winter, full in July. Whatever the month, we prepare the meals and the crew boxes and hand them over at your FBO.
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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Varna Province is the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, and the private jet menu for Varna follows it. The inflight menu starts with what comes out of the water: sea bass, bonito, mussels from the bay, plus sprat for guests who know the local table. Private jet food from here also means the Dobrudzha hinterland, with sunflower oil, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in summer.
Local specialities travel well when they are planned for a galley. Shopska salad is packed as separate vegetables with the cheese in its own tub, so it is assembled at the seat. Tarator, the cold cucumber and yoghurt soup, goes in sealed cups and is poured at service. Banitsa, the cheese pastry, is chilled and finishes in the oven. Baklava and rose-scented Turkish delight cover the sweet end for private jet platters.
For a Varna charter we write the private jet menu around the season and the passenger list: a cold seafood lunch for a summer arrival, a hot lamb or chicken dish with sauce apart for a late departure. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, such as roasted nuts and dried fruit, are packed per seat.

Varna Airport sits on the Black Sea coast and its business aviation traffic swells every summer with holiday charters. Private jet catering here leans on the sea and on Bulgarian dairy: cold plates built around sea bass, tomatoes and sheep cheese, plus hot dishes that finish in your galley oven. Whether you need inflight catering for a short coastal hop, in-flight catering for a longer sector, or aviation catering for a state delegation, the order is built around your aircraft. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same routine, diplomatic flight catering gets a cleared menu, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
A typical Varna brief is a summer business jet catering order for a small group heading to or from the coast. Corporate jet catering here is often a cold lunch and a light dessert; VIP flight catering adds a private jet chef working from a bespoke menu. Charter flight catering for a holiday sector follows the same pattern, and luxury inflight catering uses Black Sea fish and local cheeses.
When a delegation lands at LBWN, government flight catering starts with the protocol office and ends at the aircraft door. Head of state flight catering uses a fixed team and records every ingredient, and VIP aviation catering for a state visit aircraft catering order is handled quietly.
Special meals at Varna are written around the local kitchen, not bolted onto it. Cheese and yoghurt sit in almost every traditional dish, so vegan and gluten free versions are built from scratch, with oil in place of butter and rice in place of bread. Kosher and halal meals are prepared and sealed as a separate order, and allergen free plates, including nut-free sweets where baklava would normally appear, are packed apart from guest trays. Kids meals use mild versions of the same ingredients, and each tray is marked by seat, not by name.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For the cabin and the cockpit at LBWN we offer crew meals on request, invoiced with the trip. Flight crew meals come in crew meal boxes; pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed so they can be eaten one-handed. Crew catering can include different meals for pilots, and a short wait at Varna is enough for a proper plate.
FBO catering at Varna is handed over at the general aviation terminal, then taken airside by your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is addressed to the agent so ground handling catering reaches the aircraft. Handling agent catering is a matter of tail, slot and headcount.
For wide-body and larger business aircraft at LBWN, galley catering follows the cabin layout: trolleys and boxes are sized for the door and the aircraft's own galley. Airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent so that aircraft provisioning reaches the door at the stand your aircraft is given, and a high loader is booked when the sill height requires it.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
LBWN serves the city of Varna and the coastal resorts, with general aviation parked near the main terminal. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through your agent, and airport catering is handed over at the apron.
Business aviation at Varna peaks in summer. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for coastal charters, aviation catering for ferry flights, business aviation catering for corporate trips and executive jet catering all run through the same brief. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared in advance, and cabin crew meals are added on request. Business aviation hub traffic stays small but steady.
Bulgaria is in the EU, so catering loaded at Varna is local supply. Food brought from outside the EU, especially meat and dairy, is restricted, and customs sort that at arrival. Your handling agent explains what applies to your sector.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The cabin briefing at LBWN included 2 passenger meals, a request for beef fillet with roasted potatoes, and instructions addressing several individual meal preferences. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the side dishes and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the crew provisions were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about portion planning.”
“With a short ground stop to consider at VAR, we needed a practical way to serve a breakfast basket with individual preserves to 7 passengers. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The sauces remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. Our brief for private jet catering menu was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement.”
“Rather than an elaborate service at Varna Airport, our 9 guests wanted a mezze selection with flatbreads, organised sensibly around a late menu amendment. The salads came from The Galley Girls in individual containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. I would discuss private aviation catering with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination. I could hand the canapés to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
Compare two Varna orders: one with grilled sea bass and baklava for eight guests, another with a cold board and fruit for four. The cost differs mostly by product and portion, not by airport. We quote each trip separately, with the menu written before pricing.
Coastal weather windows are what make timing here less predictable than at an inland field. We take the order against your slot, and if the departure shifts we shift with it. Last-minute changes are part of the routine for LBWN.
Customs questions at Varna are mostly about what the aircraft brings in, not what it loads. Meat, dairy and fish carried in from outside the EU are restricted, so a departing menu built from local suppliers avoids the issue. The handling agent organises airside entry.
Late changes in passenger numbers are normal on summer charters from LBWN. We pack in portions that can be split or added, so extra guests are covered. You can also bring your own items, and we simply leave them off the order.
No. Is catering part of a charter flying out of LBWN? The charter price covers the aircraft, not the food, so meals are ordered separately and invoiced like any other order. Crews waiting for a late passenger at Varna often want a simple hot dish and a box for the next leg, and those are added to the same order on request.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
