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

Alton, Hampshire on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at EGHL

Hampshire has its own table, and a private jet menu built for Lasham can lean on it. Watercress from the chalk streams around Alton is the obvious start: peppery, and best as a cold salad packed dry with the dressing apart. English asparagus in late spring, Hampshire cured ham, and smoked trout from the Test valley sit naturally on private jet platters. These local specialities travel well because they are served cold or finished in a single step.

For a hot inflight menu, we lean on what the region does reliably: slow-braised Hampshire pork, a game pie in season, root vegetables roasted and packed for the oven. Private jet food for England needs restraint; a good Cheddar, a plate of cured meats and a jar of chutney make gourmet inflight meals without asking the galley for more than it has. Private jet snacks follow the same logic: shortbread, nuts, fruit, crisp seasonal apples from the orchards of Hampshire.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Lasham Airfield (EGHL)

Lasham Airfield is better known for sailplanes than for jets, and a business aircraft here shares a grass-edged horizon with winch cables and tow planes. Private jet catering at EGHL is built around that quiet setting: a small ramp, a handling agent who knows your tail, and food that arrives ready for the galley. We also cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for the longer legs out of Alton, plus aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators who need one brief. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are handled the same way, written by former VIP flight attendants.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Lasham Airfield (EGHL)

Business jet catering at Lasham usually means a small group in a mid-size aircraft, leaving from a field with no terminal queue. Corporate jet catering is built around the galley you have: private jet chef dishes finished in one step, a bespoke menu where the client wants it, VIP flight catering with discreet labelling. Charter flight catering follows the same rules, and luxury inflight catering is mostly about restraint and local produce from England.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Lasham Airfield

Dietary requests for EGHL are handled before cooking. Kosher and halal meals stay sealed, vegan and gluten free dishes use separate surfaces, and allergen free orders are written on the card. In a county of cheese and bakeries, dairy and wheat hide easily, so special meals are checked item by item. Kids meals are ordered like the rest.

Crew meals & pilot meals at Lasham Airfield

At EGHL the crew usually eats last, so crew meals are packed to hold. Flight crew meals and pilot meals sit in a separate box from the guest trays. Crew catering is on request and invoiced with everything else. Cockpit meals avoid sauces that drip, crew meal boxes carry a CREW label, and different meals for pilots are packed with distinct marks. Cabin crew meals get the same sealed box, marked for the seat they belong to.

FBO catering at Lasham starts at the handling agent's door. Catering delivery to the FBO means we hand the trays to your handling agent or the general aviation terminal staff, who bring them airside.

About the airportEGHL

About Lasham Airfield (EGHL): airport catering for business aviation

Lasham is known worldwide for gliding, and business aviation is a quiet second activity on the same grass-edged field. Airport catering at EGHL adapts to a small apron, a modest terminal and an operating day that follows the weather. As general aviation goes, it is a field where a jet arrives between tow launches and the handling agent already knows who is flying. FBO services here are personal rather than busy, and ground handling services stay simple: one contact, one ramp, one handover.

Business aviation

Operators choose Lasham when a client needs a quiet field in Hampshire rather than a crowded business aviation hub. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are matched to the aircraft type and the galley it carries. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering stay discreet, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the trip, on request and invoiced like the rest.

Customs & food import

Food entering the United Kingdom is restricted: meat, dairy and some fresh produce from outside the country face limits. For departures from EGHL, local sourcing avoids most of this, and dishes leave sealed. Ask your handling agent, whose ground handling services cover the paperwork, about the rules at the arrival end. Operators using general aviation FBO services at Lasham can have the labels written for the destination border.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Food presentation mattered to our 5 guests, but limited fridge space also had to be considered when organising mini sandwiches and individual desserts at Lasham Airfield. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the breakfast portions clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the canapés to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. With business aviation catering, careful attention to storage requirements matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Arthur W. | Government flight manager

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Choosing herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 12 people at EGHL was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a late menu amendment. I wanted clear identification on the breakfast portions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The galley preparation stood out more than any sales pitch about jet catering. We could distinguish the side dishes at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Felipe L. | VIP flight attendant

Gulfstream G550

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Small packing details became important at Lasham Airfield: our 6 passengers wanted a mezze selection with flatbreads, and we had two separate meal services. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the sauces to arrive in separate meal boxes. We placed the crew provisions in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

What crews ask before AltonAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Lasham Airfield?+

Expect the quote to reflect season and galley. English asparagus is only good for a few weeks, and orchard apples are cheapest in autumn. Private jet catering at Lasham is quoted per order, so a short weather window does not raise a hidden fee.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at EGHL?+

Two meals on one leg change how we pack. Lead time for Lasham is about getting both services clean in the drawer, with the second one marked for the later seatbelt-sign moment. Last-minute orders are processed, whatever the day.

What about customs when ordering catering for Lasham?+

In practice customs rarely touches a Lasham departure. Food is sourced locally and handed over sealed. The question is the destination: some countries restrict meat, dairy or fresh produce on arrival, and we label everything so the next border is easy.

Can you bring food on board yourself, or must it come from you?+

Operators differ, so ask the captain first. For a return leg ordered from Lasham, we pack with the second flight in mind: dishes that hold, sauce apart, clear labels. Can you bring food yourself? Often yes, but food packed for a galley travels better.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Lasham?+

Is catering part of a charter at Lasham? No, it is a separate order. Passenger numbers move late on many charters, and we handle that, adding or removing trays. The private jet charter itself does not include food.
