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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Staverton, Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire has a short list of products that travel well in a galley. Double Gloucester, the round cheese that is rolled down Cooper's Hill each spring, goes on a private jet platters board with oatcakes and chutney. Gloucester Old Spot pork becomes a cold roast sliced for sandwiches or a hot belly dish for the oven, and Severn and Wye salmon is poached and chilled. We build a private jet menu from these, an inflight menu that reads like England's west country rather than a generic list, and private jet food for passengers who want to taste the place they landed in.

The orchards matter here: perry pears and cider apples give a pressed juice and a dry cider reduction for sauces. Asparagus from the Vale of Evesham arrives in late spring and is served chilled with hollandaise apart. Local specialities such as Gloucester cheese, Old Spot bacon and Cotswold honey end up in gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks for a short sector out of Staverton. Anyone planning an inflight menu for Gloucestershire or England should ask what is in season, and we will build it around that.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Gloucestershire Airport (EGBJ)

Gloucestershire Airport sits on the Staverton plateau between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and its apron fills for Cheltenham race meetings and summer weekends. We run private jet catering for those flights, cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants and handed over at your FBO. The same kitchen standards apply to inflight catering, in-flight catering and wider aviation catering for the crews who work from EGBJ. For business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering we write the menu around the aircraft's galley, and cabin crew meals travel in their own boxes.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Gloucestershire Airport (EGBJ)

Business jet catering at Gloucestershire is usually a short brief: a cabin of four to six, a morning sector, a galley with an oven and a drawer. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the same routine, with charter flight catering added when a broker is involved. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the type, and luxury inflight catering at Staverton means one good local dish rather than five average ones.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Gloucestershire Airport

When an official flight uses Staverton, the kitchen follows the protocol office, not the other way round. State visit aircraft catering, government flight catering and head of state flight catering share one rule: discretion, documentation, a small team. VIP aviation catering is handed over plane-side, with no names on the trays.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Gloucestershire Airport (EGBJ)

At Staverton, allergens tend to hide in pastry, in pie fillings and in the cheese board's crackers, so we separate those at the cutting board. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals each get their own tray, its own box and its own seat number. The kitchen works from the dietary card you send, not from a guess.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Gloucestershire Airport

A rotation through Staverton leaves little time on the ground, so crew catering needs to be easy to open. Crew meals and flight crew meals come in labelled boxes, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed for the flight deck, and crew meal boxes stay apart from guest food. Different meals for pilots can be arranged on request, and cabin crew meals are a separate line on the order.

FBO catering at Gloucestershire Airport (GLO): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Gloucestershire Airport means one handover: the trays arrive at the FBO and go airside with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged for the slot, the general aviation terminal is the point of contact, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the usual access rules.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Gloucestershire Airport

Gloucestershire Airport sees mostly light and mid-size aircraft, so galley catering is usually carried up the steps and stowed by hand; where a larger aircraft needs a high loader, the handling agent arranges it airside. Airside catering delivery at EGBJ is coordinated with the FBO before the aircraft arrives, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout of the type you fly.

About the airportEGBJ / GLO

About Gloucestershire Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Gloucestershire Airport, known locally as Staverton, is a business aviation hub for the Cotswolds and the Severn Vale: a general aviation field where business jets, turboprops and training aircraft share one runway and one apron. It sits at 101 feet above sea level and works private flights through the year.

Business aviation

Cheltenham race meetings and summer events set the rhythm at EGBJ, and for those weeks business aviation catering goes onto the trip plan early. As a small business aviation hub, Staverton runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and wider aviation catering through one quiet routine: executive jet catering for the cabin, diplomatic flight catering cleared by protocol, cabin crew meals and crew meals on the order beside the guest trays. Airport catering here is arranged with the FBO, and FBO services and ground handling services are the usual points of contact.

Customs & food import

United Kingdom customs and food-import controls apply to catering on international arrivals at Staverton, a business aviation hub where inspection is routine. Meat and dairy can be restricted, so we favour products that clear easily and label every tray for inspection.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Getting a cheese board and savoury canapés ready for 11 guests at EGBJ required an order that accounted for a tight boarding window. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the private jet food arrangements. I asked The Galley Girls for the sandwiches in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. The starters stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“As the person coordinating a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 4 passengers at GLO, I needed an arrangement that considered a tight boarding window. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet meals was how they handled catering handover. I wanted clear identification on the crew provisions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The fruit plates were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Nothing about the 8 guest order at Gloucestershire Airport called for excess complexity: just vegetarian wraps and colourful salads and sensible planning for a late menu amendment. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the fruit plates had been grouped. Knowing where the main courses were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet menu was how they handled final order confirmation.”

Gloucestershire: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Gloucestershire Airport?+

Think of it in dishes, not in a flat figure. Add two passengers and you add two portions of whatever you ordered, whether that is poached Severn salmon or a pie. We quote the menu, then re-quote the covers if the count changes.

What lead time does private jet catering at Gloucestershire Airport need when one local product goes on the menu?+

Lead time is shaped by season rather than distance. A pear dish in autumn is easy; the same dish in June is not. We say so on the call and still handle late orders for whatever is available.

What about customs when a night departure or an early morning slot leaves Gloucestershire Airport?+

Inbound is stricter than outbound. Leaving Staverton at dawn with catering is simple; arriving abroad, the destination's food-import rules apply, and we pack sealed, labelled and itemised.

Can you bring food onto a delegation or government flight from Gloucestershire Airport?+

For official flights from EGBJ, outside food is usually a matter for protocol and security rather than the kitchen. Our menu is cleared in advance, and diplomatic flight catering stays discreet and documented.

Is catering part of a charter into Gloucestershire, and do customs rules change what we send?+

Separate order, separate invoice. A private jet charter into Gloucestershire does not cover meals, and food-import rules for the UK mean we favour local products such as cheese and cider.
