Catering to your aircraft in Forrest.
The Nullarbor around Forrest has no market and no kitchen behind the apron. Whatever your passengers and crew eat arrives already packed, labelled and ready for your galley, handed to you 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.

Forrest has no restaurants and no market to speak of, so the local table here is really Western Australia's table, carried in. A private jet menu for YFRT leans on what the state does well: Margaret River and Great Southern cheeses, Albany and Esperance seafood, Western Australian lamb and beef, and Swan Valley and Margaret River wines for the cellar request. Local specialities are chosen for how they survive a long outback sector, so the inflight menu favours cured, smoked and chilled items over anything that needs a pan.
Private jet food for Forrest is built from Western Australian produce rather than from the settlement itself. Private jet platters of rock lobster, Shark Bay or Albany prawns, and Margaret River cheese sit alongside gourmet inflight meals such as slow-cooked lamb shoulder with the sauce in its own pot. Private jet snacks lean on macadamias, dried fruit and Fremantle sardine toasts. Local specialities from Western Australia travel well, which suits a Nullarbor leg.

Forrest sits on the open Nullarbor with no town to buy a lemon from, which is why private jet catering for YFRT is planned before wheels-up, not on arrival. Inflight catering here means everything the cabin needs for the leg, packed once, labelled by seat and handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent. For aviation catering and business aviation catering at FOS, we build around the galley you actually have, and for executive jet catering or diplomatic flight catering the brief stays with named crew. Cabin crew meals are packed to be eaten between sectors, and in-flight catering from Forrest stays simple because there is nothing nearby to fall back on.
At FOS, business jet catering is a question of what holds up on a hot gravel-edged apron. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are built around the galley you carry, charter flight catering around the slot, and luxury inflight catering around what Western Australia grows. Our private jet chef drafts a bespoke menu, then packs it for your oven.
For official flights using YFRT, government flight catering is a procedure rather than a promise. Head of state flight catering is cleared before anything is cooked, VIP aviation catering runs under named staff, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered sealed to the handling agent with discretion.
Special meals at Forrest are a procedure, not a promise: kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free trays are cooked and sealed apart, allergen free orders get a separate board and a separate box, and kids meals are packed alongside. Native ingredients such as macadamia and wattleseed are flagged on the label so nothing surprises a guest.
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.
Ordering crew meals for Forrest is part of the trip plan: flight crew meals and pilot meals go in one box each, cockpit meals are packed for eating one-handed, and crew catering is invoiced with the rest. Crew meal boxes come labelled by seat, with different meals for pilots when the captain and first officer should not share a dish.
FBO catering at Forrest is handed over at the general aviation terminal or by your handling agent beside the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is confirmed with ground handling catering ahead of the slot, and handling agent catering follows whatever arrangement the operator has already made for the stop.
At YFRT, the galley you carry sets the packing. Galley catering for a small cabin goes in by hand, bigger aircraft may need a high loader, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning is checked against the tail before anything is loaded.
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.

YFRT is a general aviation strip serving a handful of movements across a very large empty landscape. FBO services are minimal, ground handling services are arranged through your agent, and airport catering has to be brought in rather than found on the field. It is a stop for crew who like to plan.
Forrest is a business aviation hub only in the loosest sense: general aviation traffic comes here for fuel and a rest point on the Nullarbor. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered ahead; business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same plan, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol first. Crew meals and cabin crew meals go in with the trip.
Arriving at YFRT from abroad with fresh food means a conversation with customs and biosecurity, and anything animal or plant based is often removed from a general aviation arrival. We source from Western Australia, label every tray and keep paperwork light, so the galley is stocked without delay.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Having 11 guests request roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables at FOS meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a changing departure schedule. I asked The Galley Girls to review the starters quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. My main takeaway from this aviation catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”
“Getting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing ready for 8 guests at Forrest Airport required an order that accounted for a tight boarding window. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the sauces could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the snack boxes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. My main takeaway from this aviation catering services order was the practical approach to portion planning.”
“Service planning came first at YFRT, with 3 passengers choosing a breakfast basket with individual preserves and different crew meal preferences influencing our preparation. After a final adjustment to the sandwiches, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. I want an aviation catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The note about the fruit plates was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”
Whether you sit at FOS for an hour or an overnight, the cost of private jet catering follows what you ask us to pack, not the clock. Waiting on a Nullarbor apron usually means one more crew meal box for the flight deck, and that is priced separately from the cabin. Rock lobster in season is dearer than Margaret River cheese, and we say which is which at quote.
Forrest has no catering of its own, so lead time here means telling us early enough to buy from the state's producers. Australian customs is strict on imported food, which makes local sourcing the practical answer. Last-minute orders are handled, and we tell you if an item cannot be had.
Ordering the way back from YFRT works like any other order: one booking, two sets, each marked for its leg. Customs asks questions about food arriving into Australia, not leaving it, so a return-leg box leaves cleanly. We just need the next destination and the number of seats.
A repositioning flight with no passengers needs very little, and bringing your own food into Forrest is not worth the customs form. Crew meal boxes cover the flight deck, packed to eat in the seat. We order from Western Australia, so there is no declaration to make.
On a delegation or government flight into FOS, the charter and the catering are two separate bookings. The charter price does not cover food, and we do not assume what a head of state or official party eats: protocol decides. We pack, seal and hand over at the aircraft.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
