Catering to your aircraft in Toms River.
At KMJX the season sets the pace: summer weekends fill the apron, winter goes quiet. Whatever the month, you give us the tail and the slot, and the trays arrive at the aircraft, marked by seat, ready to re-plate.
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.
The Jersey Shore sets the table at Ocean County Airport. A private jet menu for Toms River in New Jersey starts with what the coast and the Pine Barrens give: Barnegat Bay clams and fluke, Jersey tomatoes in summer, cultivated blueberries from the pine country inland, cranberries in autumn. These are the local specialities we build around, and each one travels differently in a galley.
Private jet platters carry the cold side: a Jersey tomato and mozzarella plate, a seafood board of chilled shrimp and local crab, a blueberry and ricotta plate for the end of a flight. Gourmet inflight meals take the hot side: a baked fluke fillet or a New Jersey pork roll slider, with the sauce apart and the dish finished in the oven.
Private jet snacks cover short legs along the shore: salt water taffy sealed in a tin, blueberry muffins, Jersey pretzels, fruit cut for hand-eating. For a private jet food order out of New Jersey, we write the inflight menu seat by seat and mark the tray with the number, never the passenger's name.

Ocean County Airport sits at 82 ft on the New Jersey coastal plain, a general aviation field where light jets and turboprops come and go around the summer shore season. Private jet catering here is built for small galleys: cold plates, a single oven at most, trays marked by seat. You send the tail, the slot and the headcount; we cook, pack and hand over at the aircraft through the FBO. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all arrive the same way at KMJX. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for Toms River follow the same brief, while diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol before anything is cooked. Cabin crew meals travel in their own boxes, kept off the guest trays.
Toms River sees owners and executives flying in for the shore, and the brief is short: who is on board, which tail, how long on the ground. We offer corporate jet catering and business jet catering for these flights, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu. Charter flight catering and VIP flight catering follow the same plan, and luxury inflight catering stays simple on a small galley.
When a state visit aircraft or a government flight uses MJX, the order goes through protocol first. Head of state flight catering and government flight catering are prepared by a small named team, traced from kitchen to aircraft, as VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering require.
Special meals at Ocean County Airport follow a procedure, and on a shore menu the hidden allergens are shellfish, fish stock in chowders and wheat in breading. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed and are opened by the crew. Vegan, gluten free and allergen free dishes are cooked on separate boards and packed in separate boxes, kids meals ride in their own tray, and every tray is marked by seat number.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Toms River crews often wait out a summer storm or a cold front, so crew meals are built to hold. Flight crew meals and pilot meals arrive in crew meal boxes labelled CREW and kept apart from the guest trays. Crew catering is ordered and invoiced on request, cockpit meals can be eaten in the seat, and different meals for pilots are packed on demand.
At KMJX the tray is handed over at the aircraft, and your handling agent opens the gate on your slot. FBO catering is booked against the tail and the headcount; catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal is then one conversation with the handling agent. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering on this small general aviation field mean one hand-carried drop, seat numbers on the lids, nothing left on the ramp.
Light jets and turboprops are the usual tails at KMJX, so galley catering here is mostly hand-carried: a drawer, a small oven, little space. If a larger aircraft needs a high loader, say so with the type and the galley layout, and airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are arranged with your handling agent on the ramp.

Ocean County Airport serves Toms River and the coastal towns of New Jersey as a general aviation field at 82 ft above sea level. Airport catering here is made for small aircraft: light loads, a ramp that is easy to read, and FBO services and ground handling services that treat an owner's trip and a crew's rotation the same way.
MJX is a small business aviation hub where the summer shore season drives demand. Inflight catering and in-flight catering fill the weekend trips, aviation catering and business aviation catering cover corporate runs, executive jet catering suits owner flights, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol first. Cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the rest, on request, and FBO services on the field decide where each tray is handed over.
Customs at Ocean County follow US rules for anything arriving from abroad. Meat, dairy and fresh produce may need to be declared or left behind before the aircraft is cleared, so ground handling services and the crew agree beforehand what stays on board. Return-leg catering is planned from local New Jersey stock, and nothing foreign-origin is left in the galley at inspection.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Before our guests boarded at KMJX, we needed grilled salmon with a lemon dressing divided into 8 portions suitable for a late menu amendment. 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 starters before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. For our team, the strongest part of their flight catering services was how they handled storage requirements.”
“As the person coordinating a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 11 passengers at MJX, I needed an arrangement that considered limited fridge space. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the starters into stackable containers that were easy to handle. We placed the side dishes in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. I would discuss airline catering with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at Ocean County Airport, where our order of a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 2 people involved a family lunch request. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the starters to be packed accordingly. My main takeaway from this crew meals order was the practical approach to galley preparation. We left the breakfast portions stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
Two orders from Toms River rarely cost the same. One local product, a seasonal fish or berry, can shift the quote more than anything else. We price each menu after you tell us the seats and the aircraft.
Menus built from local New Jersey produce are easy to turn around, because nothing has to clear customs. If your trip is arriving from abroad, tell us, since US agriculture rules apply. Last-minute orders are handled.
Customs here is tied to galley size. A light jet carries fewer trays and often no hot service, so we favour sealed cold plates. If you arrive from abroad, US customs rules cover any animal or plant product left on board.
Yes, within the rules, and the summer window is when it gets complicated. On shore weekends, departures cluster and storms can delay them, so food brought from home spends longer in the drawer. Domestic food is fine; foreign-origin food falls under US customs.
No, food falls outside a private jet charter. We take a separate order and invoice it like the rest. A return leg from KMJX can be ordered now so the second set of meals is ready when the aircraft comes back.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
