Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Local specialities from Newquay for your inflight catering

Cornwall is a peninsula with a food identity of its own, and England's far south-west gives a private jet menu here real local character. The Newquay private jet menu leans on what the Atlantic and the Cornish farms produce: crab, mackerel, pollock, clotted cream, Cornish Yarg and early vegetables. These local specialities travel well when they are packed for a galley rather than for a restaurant table.

Gourmet inflight meals built from Cornish food start with the sea. Crab is picked and chilled, mackerel is served cold or lightly cooked, and a pasty can finish in the galley oven. Private jet platters of Cornish cheeses, cured fish and seasonal fruit suit the short hops that dominate this field, and private jet snacks such as saffron buns and shortbread fit a crew tray without fuss. The inflight menu for Newquay is local specialities first, then anything the passengers ask for.

Private jet food in Cornwall rewards a simple approach: few components, very good produce, clear service notes. For Newquay we write the private jet menu so each item says how it finishes on board, whether in the oven, chilled, or with the sauce kept apart. England's south-west has strong dairy, so cream, butter and ice cream from Cornish makers appear often in requests.

Business jet catering at Cornwall Airport Newquay for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Newquay usually means a small cabin and a short brief. Corporate jet catering here is built around one oven and a drawer, VIP flight catering follows the guest list, and charter flight catering sits on top of a private jet charter booked elsewhere. Luxury inflight catering stays plain: good Cornish produce, a private jet chef who cooks it properly, and a bespoke menu written once the aircraft type is known.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Cornwall Airport Newquay

Newquay kitchens work with Cornish ingredients that hide allergens in plain sight: pasty pastry carries gluten, fish stocks carry shellfish, and clotted cream is dairy at every stage. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are therefore treated as a procedure, with a separate board, separate box and a card per seat. Special meals for a Cornwall departure are confirmed against the menu before cooking begins.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Cornwall Airport Newquay

At EGHQ the crew often sit through a long wait on the ground, so crew meals matter. We supply flight crew meals on request, billed as part of the trip. Pilot meals are boxed, crew catering is separate from the guest trays, and cockpit meals are kept simple. Crew meal boxes are labelled by seat, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator policy asks for it. Cabin crew meals can be added in the same order.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Cornwall Airport Newquay

Catering delivery to the FBO at Newquay is arranged with your handling agent, who opens the right gate. Ground handling catering, FBO catering and handling agent catering all depend on one detail: who meets the van. The general aviation terminal is where the handover starts, and the aircraft is where it finishes.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY)

Galley catering for a larger aircraft at Newquay depends on door height and what the apron offers on the day. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with the handling agent, and a high loader is arranged when the cabin door sits above van height. Aircraft provisioning starts from the type and its galley layout, so trolleys, drawers and ovens are loaded as the aircraft is actually built.

About the airportEGHQ / NQY

About Cornwall Airport Newquay (EGHQ): aviation catering and general aviation

EGHQ is a regional field on the Cornish coast, a gateway for holiday, event and corporate traffic. Airport catering for general aviation runs through FBO services and ground handling services, with a handover to the aircraft. The business aviation hub role grows in summer, when private jets arrive for the coast.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Newquay peaks in summer, when inflight catering requests arrive for weekend arrivals. In-flight catering for a jet crew is simple: a drawer, an oven, a short menu. Aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering needs clearance first, executive jet catering for owners is bespoke, and cabin crew meals go in the same drop. Newquay works as a business aviation hub for the Cornish coast.

Customs & food import

Arrivals from outside the UK must respect UK import rules on meat, dairy and plant products, and catering waste from international flights is controlled. For Newquay we source food in England, so nothing needs clearing at the border. Tell us if the aircraft arrives from abroad and we adjust the load.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“One detail shaped our order at Cornwall Airport Newquay: a small galley worktop, alongside a request for a cheese board and savoury canapés for 11 passengers. I needed the sandwiches checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. We checked the side dishes against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“The 6 passenger portions of mushroom risotto and a green salad were the easy part; managing a small galley worktop at EGHQ took more planning. My main takeaway from this in-flight catering services order was the practical approach to storage requirements. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the crew provisions had been grouped. We could account for the sandwiches before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
Tiago K. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★CHARTER
“Small packing details became important at NQY: our 3 passengers wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes, and we had a changing departure schedule. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls suggested individual containers for the sandwiches, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. The main courses were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

Questions crews ask about NewquayAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a kosher or allergen meal out of Newquay?+

A kosher or halal main for Newquay is priced separately because it travels sealed and is produced on dedicated equipment. A child's plate costs less, a nut free tray sits in between. Tell us what the guest needs and we quote that menu for EGHQ.

What is the lead time for catering on a small jet into Newquay?+

Before we talk about lead time, tell us the aircraft. A small galley means a tight menu, and a tight menu is quick to prepare. Newquay orders for compact jets come together easily, and last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs mean for catering on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin into Newquay?+

An empty cabin still carries a galley, and anything loaded for the outbound leg stays subject to UK import and waste rules. Meat and dairy from outside the country cannot simply be carried in, so for a repositioning flight we keep loading minimal and local.

Can you bring food for a crew waiting on the ground at Newquay?+

If duty time is tight and the aircraft sits at Newquay, a proper meal helps. We can supply crew meals to the FBO on request, separate from the guest food, billed like any other line.

Is catering part of a charter into Newquay in summer?+

No, and that is true for every charter. Catering for Newquay is ordered and billed on its own. Tell us the slot, and if weather changes it, we change the handover.
