Catering to your aircraft in Fort Worth.
Spinks is a quiet general aviation field south of Fort Worth, and a quiet field is a good place to hand over a galley. We cook for crew and cabin, pack for your type, and put the boxes in your hands at the aircraft.
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.

Texas on a plate means smoke, citrus and tortillas, and each of those has to survive a galley. The private jet menu for Fort Worth Spinks leans on what the Fort Worth stockyards made famous: brisket sliced thin and packed with its jus apart, so it re-plates warm instead of dry. Our inflight menu pairs it with pickled onion, jalapeno cornbread and a bean salad that holds in a drawer. Private jet food from Texas also means Tex-Mex done properly: tortillas wrapped separately, queso in its own pot, salsa kept cold. Local specialities travel better when each component is packed to finish on board, and the Texas pecan pie in a small tin is the one dessert nobody on the manifest refuses. Cooking for Texas passengers means portions that match the appetite, not the aircraft size.
Fort Worth is cowboy country with a serious food scene, and the local specialities here are honest, generous and built to travel. For a private jet menu out of Fort Worth Spinks we start with smoked meats: brisket, sausage and pulled pork, sliced for re-plating and packed with their sauce apart. The inflight menu then adds what Texas does well cold: pimento cheese with crackers, chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce, a peach and arugula salad in season. Private jet food from Texas also covers breakfast: kolaches, a classic of the state, packed warm in foil for a morning departure. Every item is boxed for the galley you have, with its finishing method written on the box: oven, drawer or cold re-plate.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Spinks sits at 700 feet on the flat north Texas plain, a general aviation field that feels nothing like a hub and plans nothing like one. For private jet catering at KFWS, you brief us on the aircraft, the passengers and the galley, and we cook, pack and label to match. We write inflight catering for the cabin you actually fly, and the same aviation catering logic covers the pilots: cabin crew meals and flight deck dishes ordered with the trip. Business aviation catering here is short on ceremony and long on detail: executive jet catering for a Fort Worth meeting, diplomatic flight catering for a visiting delegation, in-flight catering for a long leg out of Texas.
Charter flight catering into Spinks often starts with a short note: type, seats and a time. From that, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu, whether it is VIP flight catering for a board, business jet catering for a day trip, corporate jet catering for a sales team, or luxury inflight catering for a long leg out of Texas.
A visiting delegation changes the rules at a small field. Government flight catering needs a cleared menu and a paper trail, head of state flight catering needs a named team and sealed packing, and VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering follow the delegation's own security instructions.
A child on the manifest changes the tray, and the allergen list changes with it. In Texas, hidden allergens sit in the barbecue rub, the queso, the pecan crust and the flour tortilla, so each special meal here is built from a clean board and a separate box, then labelled with the seat number. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders follow the same procedure: special meals, allergen free dishes and kids meals are planned against the local menu, sealed, and marked so nobody opens the wrong tray.
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.
When the crew flies out of KFWS, the meal is part of the trip plan. Crew meals are requested with the order and billed with it. Flight crew meals come in boxes, pilot meals can be two separate dishes, crew catering is packed apart from the guest trays, cockpit meals are easy to eat in the seat, crew meal boxes carry only a CREW label, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks.
The FBO is the right door at Spinks. FBO catering is brought there, catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against your slot, and the general aviation terminal is where the handling agent signs for it. Ground handling catering follows the agent's call, and handling agent catering is simply the handover at the aircraft.
Spinks handles light and midsize business jets far more often than large cabin aircraft, and the type decides the loading. The handling agent tells us the door height and whether a high loader is needed; for a large aircraft, galley catering is brought airside in the vehicle the aircraft needs. Airside catering delivery at KFWS is arranged with the FBO against your slot, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley plan, with ovens, drawers and chillers in mind.
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.
Fort Worth Spinks is a general aviation airport south of Fort Worth, Texas, at 700 feet, used mainly by light and midsize business aircraft. Airport catering here is a small, personal operation, with no crowd on the ramp and an FBO that sees every arrival.
Business aviation catering here covers executive jet catering for a Fort Worth meeting, diplomatic flight catering for a visiting delegation, and aviation catering for the pilots. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are both planned from the galley you have, and cabin crew meals are ordered separately from the guest menu when the cabin team needs them. Spinks is a general aviation field and a quiet business aviation hub in the Fort Worth area, where FBO services and ground handling services keep each handover simple.
Food loaded in Texas for a flight leaving the United States is normal and travels with the aircraft. Food arriving from abroad is the problem: fresh meat, dairy and produce are restricted, and leftovers may be removed at the aircraft. Tell your handling agent what is on board so the order and the declaration agree.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“A request for prawn salad and small fruit plates, 5 passengers, and several individual meal preferences: that was our brief for the departure at Fort Worth Spinks Airport. My main takeaway from this private jet catering menu order was the practical approach to storage requirements. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of main courses with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the side dishes before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Fort Worth Spinks Airport, with 3 servings of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and an evening cabin service to consider. For private aviation catering, that attention to packing arrangement made the order noticeably easier to manage. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I found the canapés without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
“The cabin briefing at KFWS included 10 passenger meals, a request for a mezze selection with flatbreads, and instructions addressing a revised passenger count. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the fruit plates could be arranged during service. Keeping the sauces aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. This experience of business jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”
Price comes from the menu you choose, and an empty-cabin hop into KFWS shows it clearly. Crew meals in plain boxes sit at the low end, a smoked Texas plate with sides sits higher, and we quote each version before the slot. Private jet catering cost is simply the sum of the items.
Lead time on a long leg with two services depends on the brief: seats, dietary needs, galley layout. A transatlantic hop from Fort Worth needs a hot main and a cold second course, packed apart. We accept last-minute orders at KFWS and confirm the plan with you by phone or email.
A late change in passengers does not alter customs, but it does alter the order. For an international departure from KFWS, the food is loaded in Texas and declared with the flight. If the number of seats drops, leftover items are removed; if it rises, we add portions the same way.
You can, and for a delegation the usual question is who has cleared it. A government or protocol flight often has its own security rules for outside food, so we work through the protocol office or the operator before any menu is cooked. Everything we prepare is sealed, traceable and labelled by seat.
No. Catering is not part of the charter: a private jet charter into Fort Worth Spinks covers the aircraft, not the galley. Special meals follow the same path as any order: you request them, we prepare them against the clean-board procedure, and they are invoiced separately like the rest.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
