The local tableCooked so it travels

Regional dishes of Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear for jet catering at NCL

Northumberland and Tyneside eat well, and a private jet menu built around Newcastle upon Tyne can say so. Our inflight menu draws on the North Sea coast and the Northumbrian hills: Craster kippers for a breakfast leg, Northumbrian lamb for a hot course, and local cheeses such as Northumberland blue-style and Cheviot hard cheeses on the cold board. Private jet food from England's north-east also means Pease pudding with ham, stottie bread cut for sandwiches, and Newcastle brown ale cake for the sweet end of the tray. These local specialities travel well when they are planned for the galley: the cold items stay chilled, the lamb is finished in the oven, and the sauce comes in its own pot. Ask for any of them by name when you brief the {Region} menu.

If the passengers want to taste where they landed, Newcastle upon Tyne makes it easy. A private jet menu here can open with smoked salmon from the Northumberland coast, move to slow-cooked Northumbrian lamb with root vegetables, and finish with a sticky toffee pudding that stands up to a trolley-free cabin. Our inflight menu also draws on stottie sandwiches, crab from Seahouses and the north-east's strong cheese tradition. Private jet food from this region is built to be re-plated, not cooked, on board, and the local specialities are listed with how they are served: chilled, oven, or sauce apart. England's north-east has plenty to put on a tray.

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

Newcastle International sits on the Northumberland side of the Tyne, and the weather that rolls in off the North Sea sets the rhythm for every departure. Private jet catering at EGNT follows that rhythm: cold boards for the early sectors, hot courses for the winter evenings, all packed for your galley and handed over at the FBO. Inflight catering here leans on local produce, and in-flight catering for a long leg out of NCL is built the same way. Our aviation catering is cooked by former VIP flight attendants, so business aviation catering for executive jet catering requests, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals arrive labelled by seat and by role.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Newcastle International Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Newcastle International is usually a short brief: a cold board for an early sector, a hot course for the way home. Corporate jet catering for EGNT follows the aircraft, so a light jet gets chilled platters and a larger cabin gets plated courses. For VIP flight catering and charter flight catering, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Northumberland produce, and luxury inflight catering at NCL means dishes that stand up to a galley with no space to cook.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Newcastle International Airport (EGNT)

A state visit aircraft arriving at Newcastle needs catering that has been cleared by protocol before the oven is lit. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are managed by a small named team who keep every tray traceable and every label anonymous. State visit aircraft catering for NCL is agreed with your protocol office before the slot, not at the apron.

Special meals

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Newcastle International Airport

Newcastle's food leans on dairy, wheat and shellfish, so allergens hide where you least expect them: in the stottie, the pastry on a pie, the crab brown meat. Special meals at NCL are planned as a procedure around that local kitchen. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are cooked on separate boards, sealed, and marked by seat number only. A kosher meal stays sealed until it reaches the plate, a gluten free tray travels in its own box, and every diet is agreed with you before anything is cooked.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear (NCL)

When a rotation passes through NCL, crew meals are what keeps it moving, and they are ordered on request and invoiced with the trip. Flight crew meals come in sealed boxes marked CREW, pilot meals are designed for eating in the cockpit, and our crew catering includes crew meal boxes for the whole day. Different meals for pilots are packed separately when the operator asks for them, so cockpit meals never share a dish and nobody opens the wrong tray.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Newcastle International Airport (NCL)

FBO catering at Newcastle means the handover happens at the aircraft, through the general aviation terminal and your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering so the loading order matches the door: bulky carts first, cold drawers last. Handling agent catering requests are confirmed with the slot, and we tell you plainly if an access restriction at the apron affects the plan.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Newcastle International Airport (NCL)

A large aircraft at EGNT changes the loading plan before it changes the menu. The aircraft type decides the door height, whether a high loader is needed, and how the galley is laid out, so galley catering for a widebody is planned differently from a light jet. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent at the apron, and aircraft provisioning follows the door order, not the menu order. Tell us the type and the galley, and the carts, boxes and ovens are packed to match.

About the airportEGNT / NCL

General aviation and airport catering at Newcastle International Airport (NCL)

Newcastle International is the main commercial airport for the north-east of England, and its general aviation traffic includes business jets, race-day arrivals and operators positioning for Northumberland. The airport has a single main runway and a dedicated general aviation terminal. Catering for crews here reflects a smaller, quieter ramp than the big London fields.

Business aviation

Airport catering for Newcastle's general aviation traffic covers FBO services and ground handling services for owners and operators who fly into the north-east. As a business aviation hub, EGNT sees inflight catering and in-flight catering requests for sports fixtures, corporate visits and holiday charters. Our aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering are built around those trips, with diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals available when needed.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from outside the United Kingdom must follow UK rules on meat and dairy products, and catering waste from international flights is handled through your handling agent. Because our catering is prepared locally, it is not subject to import checks, so customs rarely affects the order. We confirm anything unusual with you before the slot.

Leave a review

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“We kept the passenger brief simple at EGNT: a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 4 guests, organised with several individual meal preferences in mind. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the side dishes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the canapés without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. With business jet catering, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Imran M. | Royal family manager

Global 7500

★★★★★CHARTER

“Before our guests boarded at NCL, we needed mini sandwiches and individual desserts divided into 8 portions suitable for different crew meal preferences. We changed the quantities of canapés, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the business aviation catering arrangements. The salads remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

Matteo T. | Charter operator

Falcon 900LX

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Despite a short ground stop, we wanted the 4 guests at Newcastle International Airport to enjoy roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings without a complicated cabin service. The order made jet catering feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the snack boxes 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.”

Questions crews ask about Newcastle upon TyneAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Newcastle International?+

Start from the aircraft type and the size of its galley, because that is what limits the menu. Newcastle crews flying a light jet often choose chilled platters with Cheviot cheeses, which keeps the cost down; a larger cabin can carry a full hot course of Northumbrian lamb, which raises it. Private jet catering for NCL is priced per menu, and we send the figures before you commit.

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

A short repositioning flight with an empty cabin at EGNT usually needs crew meals and little else, so it is simple to arrange even when the slot is close. A full hot menu with Northumbrian lamb takes more planning. Because we answer day and night, last-minute orders at Newcastle are handled, and we tell you plainly if a dish is out of reach.

Are there customs rules for catering at Newcastle?+

Crew duty time is the real cost of customs questions at EGNT, because an inbound tray of meat or dairy from abroad can leave a crew explaining paperwork on the ground. Catering ordered through us is prepared in the UK, so it is not subject to import checks. After an international flight, catering waste goes through your handling agent.

Can you bring food on board at Newcastle?+

The sea fret and winter fronts at Newcastle decide departures, so catering is as much about timing as menu. You may bring your own food, subject to customs limits on meat and dairy, but it will not be packed for a delay. Ours is, with chilled items sealed and hot dishes labelled for oven finish, however far the slot moves.

Is catering part of a charter into Newcastle?+

No. On a long leg with two services on board, the first meal and the second are ordered with the trip, but never as part of the charter itself: catering is arranged on its own and invoiced like any order. Give us the tail, the slot and the headcount, and we take it from there.
