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 Leeds, West Yorkshire for jet catering at LBA

Yorkshire is the point of the private jet menu at Leeds Bradford. Private jet food from here should taste of the county: beef from local farms, Wensleydale and Yorkshire Blue, forced rhubarb in the winter months. We write the inflight menu around those local specialities and pack each dish for how it travels, so a passenger flying out of Leeds gets something that could not have come from anywhere else.

At EGNM the starting question is what survives a galley with a small oven. Local specialities that do: Yorkshire puddings re-plated from the oven with the gravy kept apart, cold roast beef with horseradish, a Wensleydale board with oatcakes and chutney. Private jet platters for Leeds are built on that logic, with gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks such as parkin and shortbread filling the gaps between the courses.

At 681 feet, Leeds Bradford is one of the highest airports in England, and weather on the hill shapes how a flight leaves it. Our private jet catering for EGNM is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants for the galley you actually have, with inflight catering handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent. Aviation catering here leans on Yorkshire produce: business aviation catering with a northern accent, executive jet catering for owners flying to the Dales or the moors, diplomatic flight catering when a delegation calls on the region, and cabin crew meals packed for the crew who work the sector.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Leeds Bradford Airport (EGNM)

At Leeds Bradford the typical business jet brief is a short flight with a small group and a small galley. Business jet catering for LBA is usually a cold lunch or a one-oven dinner. For corporate jet catering, we shape a bespoke menu around the aircraft, and a private jet chef can cook for owners who want Yorkshire food. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all follow the same method: tell us the type and the headcount and we plan from there.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA)

When a delegation flies into Yorkshire, government flight catering means a menu approved in advance, a named team and sealed delivery. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering at EGNM follow the same procedure. For state visit aircraft catering we keep records and discretion, because the guest list is not ours to discuss.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Leeds Bradford Airport (EGNM)

At Leeds Bradford, special meals are a procedure built around a northern kitchen, where the allergens hide in the gravy, the pastry and the pudding batter.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Leeds, West Yorkshire (EGNM)

Crew meals at Leeds Bradford are ordered on request and invoiced with the rest of the catering. Flight crew meals for a quick turnaround are packed to be eaten one-handed in the cockpit, and pilot meals are planned so that the captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering and cockpit meals are boxed, crew meal boxes carry the seat or role on the lid, and different meals for pilots are available if the operator policy asks for them. We also cover the cabin crew meals for those who work the cabin, so the whole crew eats as well as the passengers.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Leeds Bradford Airport

For airside catering delivery we agree the type, the door and the galley layout in advance, and your handling agent coordinates ramp access for aircraft provisioning on the apron.

About the airportEGNM / LBA

Aviation catering and business aviation at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA)

Leeds Bradford is the main airport for West Yorkshire, set on high ground above the Wharfe valley, with a general aviation terminal that serves business aircraft. Airport catering here is shaped by the hill: the weather, the runway and the apron all affect the plan. General aviation traffic uses the same field, and FBO services and ground handling services are available for visiting aircraft.

Business aviation

Traffic at EGNM is business aviation catering territory: owners flying to the Dales, executives visiting Leeds, and parties for racing and shooting seasons. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are built around those trips. Aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all available, and a business aviation hub like this one rewards the crew who plan ahead.

Customs & food import

The United Kingdom restricts meat, dairy and some other animal products arriving from outside, and customs at Leeds Bradford will inspect what comes off the aircraft. For the practical order, declare anything you carry in and let us supply the onward catering locally, so the galley is loaded with food that is already cleared.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Before our guests boarded at Leeds Bradford Airport, we needed prawn salad and small fruit plates divided into 8 portions suitable for a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls prepared the crew provisions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. We could finish the sandwiches as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”

Arthur A. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 11 guests at EGNM to enjoy vegetarian wraps and colourful salads without a complicated cabin service. The Galley Girls labelled the sandwiches in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. Our brief for in-flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. Keeping the fruit plates identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Hugo H. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Passenger preferences led us to chicken skewers with a couscous salad at LBA; 2 portions were needed, with different crew meal preferences factored into preparation. My main takeaway from this aviation catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the desserts, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the salads before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Questions crews ask about LeedsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Leeds Bradford?+

Yorkshire produce is what moves the figure. A Wensleydale board with Yorkshire Blue, or forced rhubarb in winter, costs more than a boxed cold lunch, and a bigger headcount adds to either. We cost each line of your private jet menu and invoice it with the order, like any other catering.

What is the lead time for a night or early morning departure at EGNM?+

Slots on the hill shift with low cloud, so the order is easiest once your slot is known, and we adjust if it moves. A late-night or dawn departure is routine for us, and last-minute orders are handled the same way.

How do customs affect catering for a delegation flight at Leeds Bradford?+

A government or delegation flight needs its menu cleared by protocol before anything is cooked. UK customs at LBA then decide what may be carried back on board, so for onward sectors we cook from local suppliers and keep every tray traceable.

Can you bring food into the United Kingdom on a private jet?+

Meat and dairy from outside the UK generally cannot be carried in, and customs at Leeds Bradford will ask what is on board. Declare anything you hold, and let us supply the onward food locally so the galley is loaded with food that is already cleared.

Is catering part of a charter into Leeds?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter price: it is ordered separately and invoiced separately, like any other order. Your handling agent arranges apron access at EGNM, and the food is handed over at the aircraft.
