Catering to your aircraft in The Valley.
Winter is when TQPF fills up with business jets and the lobster boats are busiest. Crew from the Valley to the ramp get private jet catering built for tropical heat, cooked and packed for your galley.
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.
Anguilla eats from the sea. Spiny lobster, grilled over charcoal on the beach, is the island's signature, and it travels well in a private jet menu when it is cooked, chilled and packed whole or split with the sauce apart. Salt fish, johnnycakes, pigeon peas and rice, and fried plantain are local specialities that make a private jet food order feel like the island rather than a generic tray.
For The Valley, an inflight menu works best built from what is in season: crayfish and conch, snapper and mahi-mahi, mango, papaya, guava and coconut. Private jet platters of chilled lobster, seafood salads and tropical fruit hold in the heat of the Caribbean apron, while gourmet inflight meals such as grilled snapper with rice and peas finish in the galley oven. Private jet snacks lean on plantain chips, coconut tarts and fruit cups, all local specialities in Anguilla.

Clayton J. Lloyd International sits at 127 ft on an island where the lobster boats and the winter jet traffic share the same few months. Private jet catering at TQPF is built around that: Caribbean seafood, tropical fruit, and trays cooked and packed for the galley you actually have. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here lean light and chilled, which suits the heat on the apron. For aviation catering and business aviation catering on Anguilla, we handle executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations, and cabin crew meals boxed separately for the crew.
Business jet catering on Anguilla follows the guests: a family with children, a corporate party, a couple on a charter. Corporate jet catering uses local fish and fruit, VIP flight catering is plated to your service style, and charter flight catering is briefed on the tail and seat plan. Luxury inflight catering by a private jet chef means a bespoke menu written for the cabin.
Government flight catering at TQPF covers visits by ministers and delegations to a small British Overseas Territory. Head of state flight catering is cleared by protocol before anything is cooked, with a named team and no names on the trays. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are quiet, traceable and invoiced like any order.
Special meals on Anguilla are a question of what the local kitchen cooks in: fish, shellfish, coconut milk and peanuts are everywhere. We run kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders as a separate procedure with its own board and its own box, and allergen free requests are checked against the shellfish and nut that sit in so many island dishes. Kids meals are available on the same order.
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.
Crew meals on Anguilla are on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals are packed for people who eat in a jumpseat, and pilot meals come in a separate box from the guest trays. Crew catering suits long ferry days, cockpit meals are one-handed, and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW. We can also send different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never share a dish, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart.
Catering delivery to the FBO on Anguilla means one meeting point: the ramp, with your handling agent present. FBO catering is signed over at the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering are confirmed with the slot so access is clear.
Aircraft arriving at TQPF range from light jets to larger business jets, and the type decides how galley catering is loaded: through the cabin door by hand, or on a high loader when the sill is high. Airside catering delivery is agreed with the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is packed in cases that match the galley compartments of the aircraft on the ramp.
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.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
The Valley's airport is compact: one runway, one apron, and a general aviation terminal that handles private arrivals. Airport catering, FBO services and ground handling services are close together, so the order is simple to coordinate with your handling agent.
Anguilla's business aviation hub is seasonal: winter brings jets from the US mainland and the Caribbean, summer slows. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for those trips lean on local fish, aviation catering and business aviation catering orders are placed through us, executive jet catering is typical, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are handled on request. FBO services and general aviation are the backbone.
Anguilla enforces food import and customs rules for aircraft arriving from abroad, with limits on fresh meat, fruit and dairy. Provisions loaded locally are cleared as outbound stores, so ordering at TQPF avoids any problem at the gate.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Timing and organisation mattered at Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport, where our order of roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 7 people involved an evening cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the crew provisions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The sandwiches were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. My main takeaway from this VIP flight catering order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence.”
“Passenger preferences led us to grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at TQPF; 5 portions were needed, with several individual meal preferences factored into preparation. I needed the starters checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The salads remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. With charter flight catering, careful attention to crew briefing matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“A request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, 11 passengers, and a short ground stop: that was our brief for the departure at AXA. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the side dishes could be arranged during service. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet food was how they handled meal organisation. Keeping the snack boxes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
A better question is what the menu needs. Snapper, mahi-mahi and lobster vary with the boats; tropical fruit varies with the harvest. How much does private jet catering cost? We price per menu and seat count, so the number only exists once you choose the dishes.
Ordering the way back from Anguilla before you leave the US mainland, or on arrival, keeps lead time under control. Last-minute requests at AXA are handled, and substitutions are offered when a local product is short.
Food arriving on a foreign aircraft can be restricted, especially meat, fruit and dairy. On a night departure from AXA the airport office hours matter, so we coordinate customs paperwork and the handover with your handling agent.
If you land with your own provisions, the handling agent will tell you what customs allows. For the flight out, we deliver local catering plane-side through the same airside access.
Is catering part of a charter into The Valley? Not by default. A private jet charter price covers the aircraft; food is a separate order. An empty repositioning flight carries only crew meals, if requested.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
