Catering to your aircraft in Lovelock.
Lovelock's Derby Field (KLOL) sits in alfalfa and ranch country, with a thin ramp and dry air. We pack for the crew who serve here: sealed, labelled by seat, delivered to your handling agent.
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.
Nevada's Great Basin is a long way from the usual private jet menu, and Lovelock shows it: ranch beef, Basque cooking carried over from the sheep outfits of northern Nevada, and alfalfa-fed lamb. We turn those local specialities into a private jet menu that works in a galley: an inflight menu of cold platters, sliced roast beef with horseradish cream, and Basque-style chorizo and peppers that finish in the oven. Private jet food for Nevada leans on dry-aged beef, sourdough, and a good salad that does not wilt at altitude. Private jet platters of charcuterie and local cheese travel well, gourmet inflight meals such as braised short rib are packed with the sauce apart, and private jet snacks like jerky and roasted almonds suit a short leg out of Lovelock.
A stop at Derby Field puts you in Pershing County, ranch land where Basque restaurants and cattle outfits shape what people eat. Our private jet menu for Lovelock draws on that: grilled steak, Basque-style stew, and sweet corn when the season allows. As an inflight menu it is built plate by plate, with private jet food kept simple enough for a small galley. Local specialities in Nevada include pinon-smoked meats and sourdough, and we pack private jet platters of cold cuts and cheese, gourmet inflight meals that go into your galley oven with the sauce in its own pot, and private jet snacks such as trail mix and beef jerky for the crew.

Derby Field sits at 3,904 ft in the Nevada high desert, and a stop at KLOL usually means a galley that has to cope with dry air and a quiet ramp. Private jet catering for Lovelock is packed for exactly that: sealed, labelled by seat, handed over at the FBO. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders here run from cabin crew meals to a full executive jet catering menu, and business aviation catering or diplomatic flight catering requests are handled the same way as any aviation catering order.
Lovelock sees mostly business travellers going to mines, ranches and solar sites, so corporate jet catering is practical rather than showy. Business jet catering for KLOL covers VIP flight catering for owners and charter flight catering for hired aircraft. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering means good ingredients packed to survive a dry-air cabin.
When a delegation lands at Lovelock, the order starts with the protocol office. Government flight catering is prepared against a cleared list, and head of state flight catering keeps names off labels. We handle VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering the same way: seat numbers only, and a calm handover at the FBO.
Special meals at Derby Field start with the ranch kitchen reality: beef, dairy and wheat are everywhere in Nevada cooking, so allergen free orders are prepared on separate boards and packed in their own box. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are all handled by procedure, labelled by seat number, so the flight attendant opens the right tray first time.
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 at Derby Field are on request, ordered and invoiced like any dish. Flight crew meals can be boxed or plated, and pilot meals can differ per pilot, which is how different meals for pilots are usually handled. Crew catering for a long ground wait in Lovelock covers cockpit meals eaten one-handed, crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and the cabin crew meals that follow the guests.
At KLOL the handover happens plane-side: we deliver to the FBO, your handling agent takes it to the aircraft. FBO catering for a quiet ramp means no waiting behind other orders. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated with the general aviation terminal.
Derby Field is a small general aviation field, so the aircraft type decides how the load goes on: a light jet takes boxes through the cabin door, while a larger cabin may need the galley catering staged on a cart. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the galley you actually have, door height and oven included.
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.
Lovelock's airport, LOL, serves ranchers, miners and the occasional charter. Airport catering is ordered through us and delivered to the FBO. General aviation is the only traffic, and FBO services and ground handling services are compact, as you would expect at a small business aviation hub.
Summer heat and winter wind both matter at Lovelock, so catering is chosen for the season. Inflight catering for a hot day is chilled; in-flight catering in winter can include a hot course. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered with the flight, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are handled by protocol, and cabin crew meals are on request.
Flights arriving from abroad into Nevada are subject to US agricultural and customs rules, and food left over from a foreign leg may have to be surrendered. Domestic stops at Derby Field are simpler. Tell us whether the aircraft is arriving or departing internationally, and we pack accordingly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 5 people at KLOL had to be organised around two separate meal services. For FBO catering, that attention to meal organisation made the order noticeably easier to manage. I wanted clear identification on the desserts; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the snack boxes identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Nothing about the 11 guest order at LOL called for excess complexity: just roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings and sensible planning for a revised passenger count. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover. The crew provisions came from The Galley Girls in sealed meal containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the starters in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
“Packing roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 4 passengers at Derby Field needed careful thought, especially given a short ground stop. The Galley Girls updated the side dishes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The note about the starters was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering.”
If the list grows or shrinks on the day, we re-cut the order rather than start again. Private jet catering for Derby Field is priced per dish: sourdough and cheese plates cost less than a plated hot course. Send the revised seat plan and you get an updated figure, invoiced separately from the flight.
Short answer: send the aircraft, the slot and the headcount as soon as you have them. At a field like LOL there is no queue of other handlers, so a late delegation order is workable. We stay reachable 24/7.
Special meals here are prepared locally, so the paperwork is light. Where a flight has crossed the border, the agriculture inspection applies to what was already on board. Allergen free orders are kept separate and marked.
Small field, long wait: that is when crew meals earn their place. Order them with the flight, or carry your own, as you prefer. Cockpit meals can be cold or oven-ready.
No, you order it separately. A tight departure slot at Derby Field means a handover plane-side and a menu that serves straight from the drawer; a longer ground time opens up more plated options. It is invoiced like any order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
