Catering to your aircraft in Westhampton Beach.
Francis S Gabreski is a summer field first: weekenders, light jets, a quick turn, then the evening run back. Our catering is shaped by that pattern, with local East End produce and clear labelling for the 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.
{Region} here means the East End of Long Island: water on both sides, and a table built around it. For a private jet menu out of Westhampton Beach, we start from what is landed that week, then work out how it survives a cabin. Local specialities such as Montauk tuna crudo, Long Island potato salad and fresh-pressed cider are packed for the galley you actually have.
Private jet food for a weekend departure leans on private jet platters: crab cakes served chilled, farm cheeses, summer berries. The inflight menu for a longer leg adds gourmet inflight meals, a roast chicken with herbs or a lobster risotto that finishes in the oven. Private jet snacks round it out: marcona almonds, local pretzels and sparkling water.
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.
Westhampton Beach sits on the south fork's western edge, and Francis S Gabreski (KFOK) is where Hamptons guests step off. Private jet catering for that crowd means chilled seafood, farm-stand produce and picnic-style platters that survive a drawer. We plan business aviation catering and executive jet catering around the real galley, and diplomatic flight catering for the rare official arrival follows protocol, never the kitchen's habits. In-flight catering for the crew comes boxed and labelled with the cabin crew meals.
Westhampton Beach orders cluster in summer and around holiday weekends. Business jet catering for a corporate group differs from VIP flight catering for a family: the first wants efficiency, the second a table. Charter flight catering and corporate jet catering are both built by a private jet chef, with a bespoke menu shaped by what the galley can hold, and luxury inflight catering reserved for guests who ask for it.
When an official party lands at Westhampton Beach, government flight catering is written around protocol, not habit. Head of state flight catering needs named staff and a sealed handover, VIP aviation catering is kept quiet, and state visit aircraft catering is cleared first by the protocol office.
On Long Island, the allergen map is mostly shellfish and tree nuts, since the East End menu leans on seafood and nut-crusted garnishes. Kosher and halal requests are cooked and sealed on their own board, vegan and gluten free dishes are plated apart, and kids meals are simple and clearly marked. Special meals and allergen free orders are handled as a procedure: each tray is labelled by seat, and every restriction is on the cover sheet before cooking starts.
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 on a Gabreski turn rarely have time to sit down. Crew meals are on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest of the order, and flight crew meals are packed in crew meal boxes labelled CREW. Pilot meals and cockpit meals can be eaten one-handed, and different meals for pilots are available when the policy asks for it. Crew catering for a weekend run also includes cabin crew meals ordered with the flight.
FBO catering at Francis S Gabreski means catering delivery to the FBO, where your handling agent receives the order. The general aviation terminal is the usual handover point, ground handling catering is coordinated with the agent, and handling agent catering for the aircraft steps is agreed with your slot.
At Francis S Gabreski the aircraft type decides how galley catering is loaded: a light jet takes a single cooler through the door, while a large cabin may need a high loader for the catering. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the door height and the galley you have, so the carts match the tail.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Francis S Gabreski is a general aviation airport in Westhampton Beach, on the East End of Long Island, serving business jets for the Hamptons. Its long runway handles midsize and larger aircraft, and the airport catering here follows a seasonal rhythm.
Francis S Gabreski is a business aviation hub for the East End: general aviation traffic peaks in summer, with FBO services and ground handling services working the weekend rush. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights lean on aviation catering and business aviation catering, with executive jet catering for larger groups and diplomatic flight catering on rare official visits. Cabin crew meals complete the order.
As a United States airport, KFOK follows national customs rules: international arrivals declare food, and meat, dairy and fresh produce from abroad may be restricted. Plan the order so that little remains after landing, and ask your handling agent about declarations.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 10 people at KFOK was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with several individual meal preferences. The fruit plates from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at final order confirmation after this experience. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“The 9 passenger portions of mini sandwiches and individual desserts were the easy part; managing a short ground stop at FOK took more planning. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about meal organisation. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The sauces were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
“As the person coordinating poached fish with steamed rice for 8 passengers at Francis S Gabreski Airport, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. With private jet catering menu, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the fruit plates could be arranged during service. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
Westhampton Beach orders vary with the season, since East End oysters in winter are priced differently from summer corn salads. Airside access is arranged through your handling agent and quoted as its own item, so the invoice stays readable.
Short hops with an empty cabin rarely need a long lead time. Send the tail and the slot, and we adapt, and if you want something local like a Hamptons lobster roll, that is easy to agree upfront.
Inbound international legs bring agricultural rules into play. We pack the first service to be finished and the second to be sealed, so customs at Gabreski has little to question.
Outside food is allowed for private flights, though allergen control is harder. When the passenger count changes, adding to our order keeps every dish labelled and traceable.
Even for an official party, catering sits on its own invoice. Delegation and government flights to Westhampton Beach need a cleared menu and named contacts, but the charter contract does not include the food.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
