Can you supply fresh local produce for a departure from FFD?

Yes. With Cirencester approximately nineteen kilometres away and Carterton closer still, we have regular access to Cotswolds farms, dairies, and artisan producers. Fresh items are sourced to order and incorporated into your menu brief.

Do you provide crew meals as well as cabin catering?

Every order includes the option of crew meals, prepared to the same sourcing standard as the passenger cabin. Simply include crew numbers and any dietary requirements when you submit your brief.

Is high-loader delivery available at Fairford?

Fairford's runway supports wide-body and heavy-category aircraft, and we arrange high-loader access where the aircraft requires it. We confirm equipment and ramp logistics with the handling agent ahead of your arrival.

Which handler do you deliver through at EGVA?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the day. There is no need to use a specific FBO — our team coordinates access, cold-chain requirements, and delivery timing with whoever is managing the stand.

Can you cater kosher meals for a Fairford departure?

Kosher catering is available across our network, including FFD. A minimum lead time of twenty-four hours is required to source and prepare certified dishes correctly; please include this requirement when you place your initial order.

Do you cover other airfields in the region if plans change?

Our network extends to airfields across the Cotswolds corridor and beyond — including Staverton, Kidlington, and Bristol — so a change of departure point rarely affects our ability to fulfil your order.

Private jet menu for Fairford

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Fairford departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited Kingdom

To start

Gloucester Old Spot Terrine

Slow-pressed terrine of Cotswolds-reared Old Spot, set with its own jelly and served with house-pickled damsons and toasted sourdough from a Cirencester bakery.

Cold main

Cerney Goat's Cheese Salad

Ash-rolled Cerney goat's cheese, Little Gem, candied walnuts, and radish, dressed with cold-pressed Cotswold Gold rapeseed oil and a sherry reduction.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Cotswolds Lamb Shoulder

Heritage-breed lamb braised overnight with rosemary and anchovy, served with white bean purée, roast courgette, and a jus finished with local cider vinegar. Regenerates cleanly at altitude.

Morning

Smoked Severn Vale Trout on Rye

Cold-smoked brown trout from the Severn vale, served open on dark rye with crème fraîche, cucumber pickle, and dill oil — a composed breakfast plate that travels without compromise.

Pâtisserie

Cotswolds Honey and Lavender Financier

Almond-rich financier scented with Cotswolds lavender honey, glazed lightly and paired with a pot of clotted cream from a Gloucestershire dairy.

To finish

British Cheese Selection

A curated board of three regional cheeses — typically a washed-rind Stinking Bishop, a firm Cotswold cheddar, and a blue — accompanied by quince paste, oatcakes, and walnuts.

Inflight Catering · Fairford

Private aviation catering at FFD

The land around EGVA is quintessentially English — limestone market towns, working farms, and a larder that has supplied fine tables for centuries. Cirencester, the self-styled capital of the Cotswolds, sits fewer than twenty kilometres away, and its producers — cured meats, raw-milk cheeses, cold-pressed rapeseed oil, heritage-breed pork — reach our preparation kitchens quickly enough to be aboard your aircraft the same morning they leave the farm gate. Carterton lies even closer, and the broader arc from the Severn Vale to the Thames headwaters gives our sourcing team access to watercress growers, artisan bakers, and soft-fruit holdings that most catering houses never reach. When your brief calls for a genuinely regional table rather than a generic inflight spread, Fairford is one of the easier airports in England to supply with produce that actually belongs to its landscape.

Regional Catering Menu · Fairford

Fairford inflight catering

Cotswolds cuisine is understated in the best possible sense: it relies on the quality of raw ingredients rather than elaborate technique. A terrine of Gloucester Old Spot, a wedge of Cerney ash-rolled goat's cheese, a salad dressed with Cotswold Gold rapeseed oil — these are not garnishes but the point of the meal. Our chefs build menus around that philosophy, presenting ingredients that speak clearly without theatrical intervention. For longer sectors departing FFD, we construct progressive menus — a cold first course assembled at altitude, a hot main regenerated precisely to brief, a British cheese selection chosen for its ability to travel without refrigeration damage. Crew meals receive the same sourcing standard as the cabin; a separate brief is not necessary, though our single point of contact will ask for one regardless so that dietary requirements and service timing are captured before the order is confirmed.
