Private jet catering at RAF Shawbury (EGOS), Shrewsbury

Catering to your aircraft in Shrewsbury.

Shawbury is a rotary training field in the middle of Shropshire, flat and often damp, and visiting aircraft are by permission only. We cook and pack for that kind of day: a small galley, a short stop, a crew that wants a proper meal at EGOS.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Shrewsbury, Shropshire (EGOS)

Shropshire is farming country, and the private jet menu for Shawbury leans on what the county does well. Local specialities start with Shropshire lamb, slow-cooked and packed in a sealed tray with its jus in a separate pot. Shrewsbury biscuits, a thin buttery shortbread, make a practical private jet snack that survives a drawer. For private jet platters we build a cold board of Shropshire Blue, Ludlow-area charcuterie, pickled onions and oatcakes, a mix that travels well and needs no galley work. Gourmet inflight meals can follow the season: game pie in autumn, asparagus in late spring, damson and apple in the cooler months. The inflight menu stays honest about the field: this is England, not the Riviera, and private jet food here should feel like the county it left from. Private jet food for a Shropshire stop works best when it reads like a proper English table, nothing showy, everything accounted for.

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

RAF Shawbury (EGOS) sits on the flat Shropshire plain outside Shrewsbury, a military helicopter training station that opens its apron to visiting aircraft only on prior permission. For those flights, private jet catering is planned around access: who is cleared, where the van is met, and what the galley can finish on board. Inflight catering here is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, in-flight catering that leaves the oven work to you. Aviation catering for a station like this is quiet, plain and exact, and business aviation catering follows the same rule: one clear order, one handover. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals can all be arranged for the same visit.

Private jet catering for business flights from Shrewsbury, Shropshire (EGOS)

A typical business jet catering order for RAF Shawbury is small and exact: a corporate jet with four on board, one oven, a cold lunch and perhaps a hot course. Corporate jet catering here is VIP flight catering without fuss, charter flight catering planned around station access, and luxury inflight catering that does not need a trolley. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Shropshire produce and the actual galley.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at RAF Shawbury (EGOS)

At a small military field like EGOS, dietary work starts at the kitchen, not the label. Shropshire cooking leans on butter, flour, suet and cheese, so gluten, dairy and egg are everywhere, and that is where we look first. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are each cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate box, with kids meals and special meals marked by seat number only.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at RAF Shawbury (EGOS)

At EGOS there is no commercial terminal in the usual sense, so FBO catering means agreeing the handover with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO, or to the station's general aviation terminal, follows the gate procedure. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the van and the aircraft meet on your slot.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at RAF Shawbury

RAF Shawbury is a helicopter training station, so most visitors are light jets and turboprops with a small galley, and the apron rarely sees a high loader. Galley catering for these aircraft is packed to fit one oven and a drawer, and airside catering delivery follows the station's own gate procedure. If a larger type is approved, aircraft provisioning is planned beforehand with your handling agent so the right loader, if one is needed, is agreed in advance.

About the airportEGOS

General aviation and airport catering at RAF Shawbury (EGOS)

EGOS sits on flat farmland in Shropshire, England, a working military station rather than a business aviation field. It handles visiting aircraft under prior approval, so airport catering and ground handling services both have to be arranged around the station's own gate procedure.

Business aviation

Shawbury is no business aviation hub, but visiting traffic does arrive, and the handling agent supplies the ground handling services for it. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for those movements are kept plain. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are planned with the station, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering, cabin crew meals and crew meals can sit on one order. General aviation use is rare, so FBO services and the FBO handover are agreed through the handling agent.

Customs & food import

The United Kingdom restricts imported meat and dairy, so we cook in England and keep clear of border issues. Check customs and station access with your handling agent, whose ground handling services cover the aircraft's arrival.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“A request for herb chicken with a quinoa salad, 6 passengers, and a small galley worktop: that was our brief for the departure at RAF Shawbury. For FBO catering, that attention to packing arrangement made the order noticeably easier to manage. I asked The Galley Girls for the breakfast portions in separate meal boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. The snack boxes stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Dev H. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Packing a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 5 passengers at RAF Shawbury needed careful thought, especially given several individual meal preferences. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement. The Galley Girls labelled the sandwiches in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The crew provisions were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Ingrid K. | Government flight manager

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“For 12 passengers departing from EGOS, the agreed menu was a mezze selection with flatbreads; our main consideration was an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the crew provisions readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. We left the starters stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. The written menu details stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering.”

What crews ask before ShrewsburyAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Shawbury?+

Aircraft size sets the order. On a small jet out of Shawbury you will usually pick two or three dishes from the cold side; on a bigger one the hot range opens. Game pie in autumn costs more than a summer salad, and we quote the whole order before anything is cooked.

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

Lead time on a quick reposition is mostly about permission, not cooking. Once the movement is approved, we work from your slot, and last-minute orders are handled. The empty cabin means we can plan for the crew's own meals first.

What about customs when catering for a flight at Shawbury?+

If the crew is stuck waiting at Shawbury, a hot meal in a sealed tray matters more than a clever menu. Local cooking keeps us clear of United Kingdom restrictions on imported animal products.

Can you bring food onto the aircraft at Shawbury yourself?+

If your departure waits on weather, home-packed food can run out of time. We pack sealed trays that hold up, and note that United Kingdom limits on imported animal products apply to what you carry.

Is catering part of a charter into Shawbury?+

The charter price does not include food. If your flight carries two services over a long sector, we plan two courses and quote them apart from the private jet charter, delivered through your handling agent.
