Catering to your aircraft in Grantham.
Barkston Heath is a quiet airfield, and a flight attendant landing at EGYE wants the galley sorted before anyone steps off. Meals for Grantham are packed by people who have worked the same drawers.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Lincolnshire is farming country, and the private jet menu for Grantham leans on it. Lincolnshire sausages, Stamford-area cheeses and Lincolnshire Poacher cheddar are local specialities that travel well in a galley. A private jet food order here usually reads like an English countryside lunch: cold roast beef with horseradish, a ploughman's board, a warm pie with the gravy apart.
The inflight menu for England and the Grantham area is built from what the surrounding fields grow. Lincolnshire plum bread, smoked eel and seasonal asparagus in early summer are local specialities that suit a short crew turnaround. We pack private jet platters for cold service and gourmet inflight meals for the oven, and private jet snacks for the gaps between.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
RAF Barkston Heath sits at 367 ft in the Lincolnshire flatlands, a military airfield where a civil aircraft arrives by arrangement and the galley needs planning around the handling agent. Our private jet catering for EGYE is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, and the same trays work for inflight catering, executive jet catering and business aviation catering. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same plain order.
A typical business jet catering order at EGYE is a small party on a light jet, flying in for a day of meetings in Lincolnshire. Corporate jet catering here means a cold lunch for four and a hot dish for the return. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley, and VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same brief.
When a delegation lands at RAF Barkston Heath, the order is checked by protocol first. State visit aircraft catering and head of state flight catering follow a named team and a traceable batch. Government flight catering and VIP aviation catering are packed sealed, with no names on the trays.
A diet is a procedure, not a label. For Lincolnshire cooking the hidden allergens sit in gravy thickened with flour, pie pastry and sausage rusk, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are built on separate boards and sealed per seat. Special meals and kids meals are marked by seat number, never by name, and ordered with the rest of the trip.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At Grantham the crew eats between legs, so crew meals are boxed and sealed. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are a request on the order, billed as such. Crew catering with crew meal boxes labelled CREW, plus different meals for pilots where policy requires, keeps captain and first officer on separate dishes.
FBO catering at EGYE is handed over at the aircraft, through your handling agent or the general aviation terminal. Catering delivery to the FBO is booked against your slot, ground handling catering is coordinated with the field, and handling agent catering is confirmed before you arrive.
A military airfield sets its own rules for how a vehicle reaches the aircraft. Galley catering at EGYE is planned around the aircraft type: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and what the galley on board can hold. Airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail before the slot.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.

RAF Barkston Heath is a military airfield in Lincolnshire, with a 367 ft elevation and a runway mostly used for training. Airport catering here is arranged around the handling agent and the general aviation procedures for a civil visitor. FBO services and ground handling services are by arrangement.
A business aviation hub in the strict sense this is not, but visiting aircraft do land here, and inflight catering for them is arranged with the handling agent. In-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering all work the same way: tail, slot, headcount. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals for EGYE all start with the same three details: tail, slot and headcount.
Flights from abroad into the UK face import rules on meat and dairy, so catering is ordered locally and loaded at the aircraft. Customs and the handling agent clear the paperwork. A UK kitchen order avoids border issues for departures, and we adjust if the route changes.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Getting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing ready for 8 guests at RAF Barkston Heath required an order that accounted for several individual meal preferences. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. I needed the canapés checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“Before our guests boarded at EGYE, we needed a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides divided into 2 portions suitable for a tight boarding window. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about catering handover. I asked The Galley Girls to review the fruit plates quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the breakfast portions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Clear quantities were essential at RAF Barkston Heath: we had 2 passengers expecting a cheese board and savoury canapés and were working around a small galley worktop. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the side dishes could be arranged during service. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. The order made private jet catering menu feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand.”
Think of price as a result of three choices: how long you wait on the ground, how many seats, and how much cooking happens on board. How much does private jet catering cost at EGYE? Whatever the answer, it is itemised and invoiced as its own order.
Lead time at RAF Barkston Heath depends on what you want on the return: a boxed cold lunch is simple, a plated hot service needs more planning. We would rather take the return order with the outbound one, but last-minute orders are handled.
Tell us the new passenger count and the route, and we correct the order while your handling agent confirms what customs needs. UK rules on animal products matter for food arriving from abroad, so most guests order locally here.
You can, within UK import rules, but we would rather give you the Lincolnshire Poacher board and a local sausage than a container of cold cuts that need re-plating from scratch. Food from outside the country has to clear customs.
The answer is no, catering sits as a separate order from a private jet charter. For a departure at dawn from Grantham we would pack breakfast pastries, fruit and a hot flask, while a night flight gets a cold plate. Either way it is quoted and invoiced on its own.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
