Private jet catering at Inverness Airport (EGPE / INV), Inverness

Catering to your aircraft in Inverness.

At Inverness, a Gulfstream or a light jet may carry the same party of six into the glens. We pack Scottish seafood, game and cheese for that galley, and crew meals go in as a separate line when you ask for them.

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

Regional dishes of Inverness for jet catering at INV

Scotland gives a private jet menu at Inverness a clear identity. The Highlands and the Moray Firth supply the produce, and the local specialities travel well: hot-smoked salmon and cold-smoked trout that need nothing but a plate, Scottish langoustines kept chilled, Highland venison that finishes in the oven, and Aberdeen Angus beef sliced per passenger. On an inflight menu the classic Scottish breakfast turns into a compact item: oatcakes, soft cheese, berries and porridge pots. Private jet food from this region suits cold service, and private jet platters of Scottish cheese, cured meats and oatcakes keep well on a short Highland sector. For gourmet inflight meals we pair a cold starter with one hot main and keep the sauce apart. Private jet snacks follow the same line: Tunnock's-style caramel wafers are out, but shortbread, tablet and Scottish chocolate are in. These local specialities from Inverness and Scotland are packed to be re-plated in a small galley.

Inverness is the gateway to the Highlands, and the private jet menu reflects it. Think Moray Firth seafood, venison from the estates, Highland cheeses and soft fruit from Tayside, all of it described as it actually travels in a galley: chilled, sauce apart, or oven-finished. The inflight menu usually opens with a cold plate, such as smoked salmon with oatcakes, then moves to a single hot dish. Private jet food in Scotland leans seasonal: raspberries and strawberries in summer, game from autumn, root vegetables in winter. Private jet platters carry cheese and cured meats; gourmet inflight meals add a Cullen skink-style soup in a flask; private jet snacks cover shortbread, tablet and nuts. Every one of these local specialities is chosen for how it holds in the drawer, wherever in Scotland you are heading next.

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

Most private flights into Inverness are heading somewhere wilder: a lodge, a distillery estate, a stalking week. Private jet catering at INV is planned with that onward trip in mind, so the menu often doubles as a first Highland meal. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here means smoked salmon, Highland beef and shortbread packed for a tight galley. Aviation catering for the crew is a separate line, as is business aviation catering for guests, executive jet catering for corporate sectors and diplomatic flight catering for official visits. Cabin crew meals are available on request, 24/7.

Business jet catering at Inverness Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Inverness usually serves a short Highland sector: four to eight guests, one hot main, a cold starter and good bread. Corporate jet catering orders favour Scottish produce, VIP flight catering adds protocol and discretion, and charter flight catering follows the operator's brief. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef building a bespoke menu around the Moray Firth catch and Highland game, with sauce apart and clear labels per seat.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Inverness Airport (EGPE)

Scottish cooking hides allergens in places you would not look: oatcakes and shortbread carry gluten, cullen skink and cranachan carry dairy, and smoked fish is often cured in shared rooms. At Inverness we plan special meals as a procedure. Kosher and halal orders are sealed and plated apart, vegan dishes avoid butter-based Scottish bakery, gluten free swaps oats for certified alternatives, allergen free plates are cooked and packed on a separate board, and kids meals are simple, portioned by seat.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Inverness Airport (EGPE)

On the Inverness apron, the type of aircraft settles how galley catering gets from the truck to the cabin door. Light and midsize jets are loaded by hand through the door, while larger business jets and VIP airliners may need a high loader for airside catering delivery. Tell us the type and we plan the aircraft provisioning: trolleys, boxes and containers sized to the galley, with ovens, drawers and chillers in mind.

About the airportEGPE / INV

About Inverness Airport (INV): airport catering for business aviation

EGPE serves the northern Highlands with scheduled flights, charters and private aircraft. Airport catering supports general aviation visitors who arrive for the estates and the coast, using FBO services and ground handling services already in place.

Business aviation

Inverness works as a business aviation hub for the Highlands: inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered here for shooting parties in autumn and golfers in summer. Aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the seasons, executive jet catering covers corporate sectors, diplomatic flight catering serves official visits, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request.

Customs & food import

Flights from outside the UK follow UK border rules on meat and dairy, so food loaded abroad is treated as catering waste on arrival. Scottish produce ordered through us is domestic and clears without paperwork. Your handling agent confirms the rules for each sector.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Having 9 guests request a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides at INV meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for two separate meal services. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure. The salads from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the main courses properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“A request for a mezze selection with flatbreads, 4 passengers, and an evening cabin service: that was our brief for the departure at Inverness Airport. Our brief for private jet catering was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. We changed the quantities of side dishes, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the sauces quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Service planning came first at EGPE, with 4 passengers choosing beef fillet with roasted potatoes and a tight boarding window influencing our preparation. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the breakfast portions clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the main courses before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I would discuss private jet catering services with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination.”

The Inverness questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered from Inverness?+

Many clients bring the outbound meal from home base and order the way back at Inverness. Each order is quoted by menu, headcount and what is in season, so a September venison plate sits above a July berry dessert. Private jet catering is invoiced as its own order, and crew meals go on the same invoice when you ask for them.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Inverness when the passenger count changes?+

What matters is the menu more than the airport. Smoked salmon and cheese platters are straightforward at EGPE; a bespoke venison course or kosher meals need more preparation. If the headcount moves, we adjust the same order, and last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs rules mean for private jet catering at Inverness when a local product goes on the menu?+

A Scottish product such as venison, haggis or langoustine is sourced and eaten inside the UK, so it needs no import paperwork. Customs only comes into play on international departures carrying foreign-origin food. Keeping the menu local keeps the process simple.

Can you bring food on a private jet departing Inverness at night or early morning?+

You can, but a night or early morning slot at EGPE leaves little chance to shop, and food bought elsewhere may not suit your galley. We take orders 24/7, day and night, and hand the plates over at the FBO for your slot.

Is catering part of a charter flying a delegation or government party into Inverness?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: it is ordered separately and invoiced as its own order. For an official party we assign a dedicated team, discreet labelling and a menu cleared before anything is cooked.
