Which handlers at LGW can you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler or stand holds your aircraft at London Gatwick — no prior account or approved-supplier arrangement is needed on your side. Confirm the handler and stand at the time of order and your coordinator will align delivery timing accordingly.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at LGW?

Same-day orders at Gatwick are routine for us. Send your request and we confirm within 10 minutes — at any hour — then advise the realistic preparation and delivery window based on your departure time. The closer to wheels-up, the more the menu narrows, but quality does not.

How are crew meals handled at London Gatwick?

Crew meals for EGKK departures are included in the same order, delivered in the same uplift, and invoiced on the operator tariff rather than the passenger rate. They are built for the rotation — correctly portioned, properly packed for galley storage, and not an afterthought to the main cabin order.

Do you cater for halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan and allergy requirements at LGW?

Yes. Halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available across all menu tiers for LGW departures. Kosher orders are available but require a minimum of 24 hours' lead time to source and prepare correctly — note the requirement at the point of request. All dietary needs should be specified when placing the order.

How do I place a catering order for a Gatwick departure?

Submit your request through the Altitude Dining order form or by direct message to your coordinator — include the departure date, passenger count, dietary requirements and your LGW handler or stand if known. We confirm within 10 minutes, 24/7, and issue a single invoice covering all items in the uplift.

What does private jet catering at LGW cost?

There is no fixed rate card. Price is determined by passenger count, menu complexity, lead time and any specialist dietary requirements. Submit your brief and we return a quote within 10 minutes — specific to your order at LGW, not a generic estimate.

London private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited Kingdom

Morning

Watercress and smoked trout frittata

Surrey watercress, Forman's smoked trout, crème fraîche — portioned individually, served warm or room temperature.

To start

Hand-dived scallop ceviche

South West day-boat scallops, lime, cucumber, and coriander — composed cold, cabin-stable for boarding.

Cold main

Lincolnshire Poacher and heritage tomato plate

Aged Lincolnshire Poacher, Surrey heritage tomatoes, dressed leaves — a clean cold plate that travels without compromise.

Hot main

Chicken supreme with roasting juices

Free-range breast, reduced roasting jus, seasonal gratin — individually portioned and galley-ready for a two-hour sector.

Pâtisserie

London viennoiseries selection

Croissants and morning pastries from a London artisan supplier, sized and packaged for galley-box presentation.

To finish

British soft fruit and cream

Weald-grown strawberries and raspberries in season, clotted cream — simple, regional, and at their best through summer departures.

Inflight Catering · London

Private jet catering in London

Surrey and the counties immediately south of London produce some of the most consistent market-garden ingredients in the country. Watercress from the Itchen valleys, asparagus from the Evesham belt in season, and soft fruit from the Weald farms reach the wholesale markets that supply our kitchen before most passengers reach the terminal. That proximity is not a detail — it is the reason produce boarded at EGKK arrives on the tray in the same condition it left the ground. The broader London sourcing network adds a further layer. Neal's Yard Dairy cheeses, smoked fish from Forman's in East London, and artisan charcuterie from the network of small British producers now reaching restaurant-grade quality — all available for composition into menus that reflect where the aircraft is actually departing from, not a generic European spread.

Regional Catering Menu · London

Fresh catering for London flights

Menus built for LGW departures draw on the best of southern England: aged Cheddar and Lincolnshire Poacher from the affineurs rather than the supermarket block, heritage tomatoes and courgettes from Surrey growers through late spring and summer, and hand-dived scallops from the South West for hot main configurations. For the cabin, these translate cleanly — a cold composed plate of smoked salmon, watercress and crème fraîche travels without compromise at altitude; a individually portioned chicken supreme with roasting juices holds through a two-hour sector. Pastry work draws on a London viennoiseries supplier whose output is calibrated for galley-box presentation rather than café counters.
