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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Lincoln, Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire gives a private jet menu a short list of things worth building around, and the Fens are the reason. Lincolnshire sausage, seasoned with sage, is the obvious private jet food for a morning departure: we pack it with eggs and grilled tomato, finished in your oven, and the inflight menu for a Lincoln stop usually starts there. Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, a hard cheddar-style cheese with a long finish, goes onto cold private jet platters with Stilton-style blues, celery from the Fens and pickled onions, which hold their texture at altitude. Local specialities from England more broadly fit the same logic: Stuffed Chine, a cured pork joint with parsley sauce, is a traditional Lincolnshire plate that we slice cold for the drawer. Fen potatoes and asparagus in late spring give gourmet inflight meals a seasonal anchor. Plum bread, a spiced fruit loaf from the county, sits well among private jet snacks with butter and a sharp cheese. We write each menu around what survives a galley turn and the headcount you give us, and pack the sauce and the dressing apart.

A private jet menu for Lincoln starts with the county, not with a generic list. Haslet, the sage-spiced pork loaf, is the plain Lincolnshire food most guests do not expect, and it makes a good cold plate with chutney and Poacher cheese. The inflight menu can run to Lincolnshire sausage rolls for crew, plum bread with butter for tea, and Fen vegetables in season, which travel better than most delicate leaves. Private jet food from England asks for a hot option and a cold one for every service, so we pair each local item with its finish: oven for the sausage, chilled for the haslet, sauce apart for anything with gravy. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all written from the same short local list, with seat numbers on the lids. Local specialities across England can be added if a passenger asks, and the brief for Lincoln stays small and precise.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at RAF Coningsby (EGXC)

RAF Coningsby sits in the flat Lincolnshire Fens and is a military station first, so a civil business jet arriving at EGXC needs the handover agreed with the handling agent in advance. Private jet catering here is built around that one controlled apron: cooked and packed for your galley, labelled by seat, passed to the aircraft. For longer sectors we pack inflight catering and in-flight catering for two services, and aviation catering for the way back is ordered with the same email. Business aviation catering at QCY runs to executive jet catering for small cabins, diplomatic flight catering when protocol is involved, and cabin crew meals boxed separately.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at RAF Coningsby (QCY)

A business jet stop at Coningsby usually means a small cabin and a short brief, and business jet catering here is written for that galley. Corporate jet catering for a Lincoln meeting leans on cold lunches and a hot option for the way home, while VIP flight catering for guests with a defined taste starts with a call. Charter flight catering is ordered separately from the charter itself, and luxury inflight catering for longer sectors comes from a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around the passenger list.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at RAF Coningsby

Government flight catering at a military station means the protocol office decides what happens before the kitchen does. For head of state flight catering at Coningsby the menu is cleared in advance and the delivery is escorted. VIP aviation catering for officials follows the same sequence, and state visit aircraft catering is traced item by item, with a named team and full discretion.

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at RAF Coningsby (QCY)

At Coningsby the diet question is about the kitchen that cooks for you, not the label on the lid: pork is everywhere in Lincolnshire cooking, so halal and kosher requests are cooked and sealed apart from the pork items, vegan and gluten free plates are built on their own board, and allergen free orders are prepared with a separate set of utensils. Special meals, kids meals and any restriction you send for the trip come back with the seat number on the lid and a card that names the restriction.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at RAF Coningsby (QCY)

Crew meals at EGXC are requested with the order and billed with it. Flight crew meals are packed for people who eat standing up, and pilot meals are kept apart from the passenger trays. Crew catering for a Lincoln turnaround leans on items that hold, such as a sausage roll or a cold pie. Cockpit meals avoid sauces that spill, and crew meal boxes carry the name of the role. Different meals for pilots are prepared when the operator wants them, and cabin crew meals travel in their own box.

Ground handling and FBO catering at RAF Coningsby

Delivery at Coningsby is made to the FBO or to your handling agent, who meets the aircraft on the apron. FBO catering at EGXC depends on the station's access rules, so catering delivery to the FBO is booked ahead with the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering is coordinated at the aircraft, and handling agent catering is simply the order passed to the person who opens the gate.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at RAF Coningsby (QCY)

A fighter base apron is not a standard business jet ramp, and the aircraft type decides how the food reaches the galley. For a small or mid-size jet, galley catering is carried by hand up the airstairs; for a larger cabin the door height decides whether airside catering delivery needs a high loader arranged through the handling agent. We ask for the type and the door you will open, then pack the trolleys and boxes for that galley. Aircraft provisioning at EGXC is done under the station's escort and access rules, so the delivery is booked with the handling agent, not left to the gate.

About the airportEGXC / QCY

Airport catering at RAF Coningsby (EGXC)

RAF Coningsby is a Royal Air Force station in the Lincolnshire Fens, and the airport that business aviation uses here is a military runway with civil movements by arrangement. Airport catering at EGXC is built around that: controlled access, one apron, and a handling agent who knows the gate.

Business aviation

General aviation at Coningsby is occasional rather than daily, so business aviation catering is planned trip by trip. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for a small jet are packed for one galley, aviation catering for a return leg is ordered with the outbound, and executive jet catering for a Lincoln visit is a short, precise list. Diplomatic flight catering for official parties is treated with protocol, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through the station, which is not a business aviation hub in the busy sense.

Customs & food import

Customs for the United Kingdom treat catering for departing flights as stores, declared by the handling agent. Meat, dairy and certain fresh produce brought in from outside the country are restricted, so the practical consequence is to order the return leg locally rather than carry it.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Passenger preferences led us to roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings at RAF Coningsby; 11 portions were needed, with an evening cabin service factored into preparation. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience. I wanted clear identification on the crew provisions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I found the snack boxes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
Zaid J. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“It was the packing plan I cared about at EGXC, with 10 servings of mini sandwiches and individual desserts and a family lunch request to consider. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about catering handover. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the snack boxes to be packed accordingly. The main courses were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
Freya V. | Royal family manager

★★★★☆CHARTER
“Small packing details became important at QCY: our 9 passengers wanted prawn salad and small fruit plates, and we had a family lunch request. The Galley Girls suggested clearly marked packs for the crew provisions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the side dishes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. With private jet catering menu, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

What crews ask before LincolnAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a departure from Coningsby in a wet Fen winter?+

Winter and summer are two different quotes. In the dark months, Lincolnshire private jet catering runs toward oven dishes and hot soup, while a cheese board with Fen celery stays popular year-round. Weather over the flat country can hold a departure, so a second service is sometimes added. We quote per menu and per headcount, so the cost reflects what you actually order and appears on the invoice.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when the sector is long enough to need two services?+

For a long sector with two services, tell us early which one should be the full meal and which the lighter plate, because the galley oven is usually the limit. At EGXC the order is simpler than at a busy airport: one apron, one handling agent, one handover. Last-minute changes to the second service are accepted, and we repack the lids with the seat numbers.

What do customs ask about catering when the departure slot is tight and the turnaround is short?+

On a short turnaround, customs is the part you want settled before you land. For departing flights, catering is loaded as stores and presented by the handling agent. For arriving flights, meat, dairy and certain fresh produce from outside the country may not enter, so we supply from English sources.

Can you bring food on board at Coningsby, or should we order it with you for the return leg?+

If you plan the return leg from here, we recommend ordering it, because customs rules on animal products make carried food unreliable. Our crew packs for your galley, writes the oven or drawer note on the lid, and your handling agent passes it to the aircraft.

Is catering part of a charter into Coningsby when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

No. Whether it is a private jet charter or a shared one, the food is not part of the charter price: it is ordered and invoiced as its own item. A late change in passengers is normal on a charter, and last-minute orders are handled by updating the seat plan and the quantities. The food arrives at the aircraft through the handling agent.
