Catering to your aircraft in Brownwood.
Brownwood Regional is a quiet Texas field where light jets arrive for hunting weekends, ranch visits and corporate stops. We pack barbecue, pecans and cold platters for the galley, handed over at the FBO.
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.
Central Texas gives a private jet menu its backbone: slow-smoked brisket, pork ribs, sausage, pinto beans, pecans and peaches. For Brownwood, we build the inflight menu around those local specialities and pack each dish for the galley, not the dining room. Private jet food from Texas travels well when sauce rides apart and slaw stays chilled. Private jet platters of smoked meats with pickles and white bread suit a large cabin, while gourmet inflight meals such as chicken-fried steak deconstructed for re-plating suit a small crew-served flight. Private jet snacks are easy here: candied pecans, jerky, kolaches and pecan brittle.
Brownwood and the wider Texas Hill Country belong to ranch land, pecan orchards and Tex-Mex kitchens, which is the starting point of any private jet menu for this field. The inflight menu can run from smoked brisket and green chile chicken enchiladas to a peach cobbler that finishes in the oven. Private jet food stays honest when we keep fried items out of the drawer and sauces in their own pots. Expect private jet platters of barbecue, gourmet inflight meals built on Gulf shrimp or Texas beef, and private jet snacks like pecan pralines. These local specialities in Texas are sealed, labelled by seat and ready for the galley.

Brownwood sits in the pecan and cattle country of Central Texas, and the field at Brownwood Regional is a quiet general aviation stop where private jet catering is ordered around whatever the Texas season offers. A flight attendant here wants food that survives a small galley and tastes like where the aircraft landed. We cook and pack for that, as former VIP flight attendants, and cover inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering at KBWD. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same procedure, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order.
A typical Brownwood brief is business jet catering for four to eight on a ranch or oil-field trip, with a light galley and one oven. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all begin with the same question: what does the galley hold? Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around that, with luxury inflight catering touches such as a pecan tart or smoked brisket, sliced and ready to re-plate.
Requests for government flight catering are infrequent on this Texas field, and each one is treated with discretion. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering run through protocol, with a named team and traceable ingredients. For a state visit aircraft catering order, the menu is cleared before anything is cooked and handed over at the aircraft.
Texas kitchens lean on lard, flour tortillas, butter and hidden sugars in barbecue rubs and sauces, so for Brownwood we work from the ingredient list of each dish rather than the name. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are built as separate dishes, and allergen free orders are prepared apart with their own board and tray. Special meals and kids meals are marked by seat, with the restriction written on the card your cabin crew reads at the drawer.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On request, we add crew meals to your Brownwood order and invoice them with the rest. Flight crew meals are labelled CREW and packed apart from guest trays; pilot meals and cockpit meals are made to be eaten between legs. Crew catering for a full day can include a hot main, and crew meal boxes stay sealed. When policy requires it, different meals for pilots are prepared as two distinct dishes.
At KBWD, the FBO catering handover happens at the general aviation terminal, then plane-side with the handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is confirmed with your slot, and ground handling catering is arranged so the trays reach the galley intact. Handling agent catering stays with a single point of contact.
Brownwood Regional mostly sees light and midsize business jets, where the galley is small and the door is low enough that carts are not needed. If a larger cabin arrives, galley catering is sized to its ovens and chillers before packing, and airside catering delivery goes to the apron by the handling agent's vehicle. Aircraft provisioning for a bigger type is confirmed by tail number so nothing is packed that the galley cannot hold.

Brownwood Regional Airport serves Brownwood, Texas, at an elevation of 1,387 feet. It is a general aviation airport in Central Texas that handles light and midsize business jets, and the FBO services on the field, together with your handling agent, are where airport catering is received and passed to the aircraft.
Brownwood is a small business aviation hub, with traffic that is mostly ranch, oil-field and hunting-season flying. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders here are usually for small cabins, and ground handling services on the apron decide where the trays meet the aircraft. Aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the same procedure as at any field, executive jet catering suits the midsize arrivals, and diplomatic flight catering, cabin crew meals and crew meals can be added to any order.
Brownwood is a US field, so federal customs and agriculture rules apply to anything that arrives from abroad: foreign meat, dairy and fresh produce are restricted, and food already on board must be declared. Because our meals are cooked in Texas, they carry no import paperwork, and the FBO services and ground handling services at KBWD only need the tail and the slot.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“On this departure from Brownwood Regional Airport, 2 passengers had chosen grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and a changing departure schedule needed to be reflected in the order. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the airport catering arrangements. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the fruit plates, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the side dishes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
“Nothing about the 2 guest order at KBWD called for excess complexity: just a mezze selection with flatbreads and sensible planning for limited fridge space. The desserts supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The salads were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. My main takeaway from this inflight catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”
“I wanted poached fish with steamed rice for 5 guests at BWD, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a small galley worktop. The desserts from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our colleague could take over the side dishes without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. My main takeaway from this in-flight catering order was the practical approach to portion planning.”
A Brownwood order starts with the local product you choose: barbecue, pecan pies, shrimp. Seasonal items cost more in the off season, simple cold platters less. We give you a quote for KBWD before anything is cooked, and it is invoiced separately from the flight.
Customs rules decide how early we should talk. Foreign-origin food is restricted on arrival in the United States, so for an international flight into KBWD we cook in Texas and hand over at the aircraft. Late orders are still handled.
Customs treats what is already on board separately from what we deliver. At Brownwood, the delivered meals are local, and your small galley decides how many trays fit. Foreign provisions must be declared.
Personal food is allowed if it clears customs, but Texas weather rewards planning. Delays in a storm or a cold snap mean cooling matters, so we pack chilled items to wait in the drawer while the departure moves.
Not as a rule. Catering is ordered and billed apart from the charter, even when the whole trip is one booking. If your aircraft flies back out of KBWD, we can prepare the return meal from here.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
