How quickly will I receive a response after enquiring?

We reply within ten minutes, around the clock. For same-day or short-notice orders, call directly so we can begin sourcing and preparation without delay.

What aircraft types does Lakehurst inflight catering suit?

The runways at KNEL accommodate lighter and mid-size turbine aircraft, and our portioning, containers, and galley-ready packaging reflect those cabin sizes. If your itinerary continues to a field capable of handling larger aircraft, we can arrange onward catering through our network.

Can you source fresh local produce for a Lakehurst order?

Yes. Toms River is thirteen kilometres away and the broader Ocean County and Jersey Shore supply chain gives us reliable access to seasonal produce, fresh seafood, and regional specialities. Availability is naturally subject to season and lead time.

Do you cater for kosher dietary requirements?

Kosher meals are available but require a minimum twenty-four-hour lead time to source and certify correctly. Please specify this requirement when you first make contact so it can be built into the order timeline.

Which FBO or handler do you deliver to at NEL?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. There is no exclusive arrangement on our end — confirm your handler's details when you place the order and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you arrange crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Crew meals are handled as a distinct line within any order. They can be packaged separately for easy access in the galley and specified to different dietary requirements from the passenger menu.

Inflight Catering · Lakehurst

Inflight catering for Lakehurst flights

Lakehurst sits in the heart of Ocean County, a stretch of New Jersey coast where the Pine Barrens give way to the shore towns of the Atlantic seaboard. Toms River lies just thirteen kilometres away, and the wider region — running through to Atlantic City and Newark — supplies a dependable chain of artisan producers, fishmongers, and farm suppliers that our kitchen teams draw from daily. The area's culinary identity is shaped by the Jersey Shore: blue claw crab, locally landed fluke, sweet Jersey corn in season, and blueberries from the sandy Pinelands soil. These are not decorative touches — they are the foundation of the menus we build for crews and passengers departing KNEL, reflecting the character of the place rather than a generic mid-Atlantic template.

Regional Catering Menu · Lakehurst

Lakehurst private jet catering

Our kitchen curates Lakehurst catering orders around what the region actually produces. A chilled shellfish plate built on Atlantic blue claw and Stone Harbor littlenecks, dressed simply with a mignonette, travels far better than it has any right to. Jersey beefsteak tomatoes, available through the summer months, appear in composed salads and as a clean accompaniment to sliced charcuterie sourced from artisan curehouses within the Philadelphia corridor. For morning departures, we lean on the region's strong bakery tradition — dense, properly fermented sourdough, fruit-forward pastries using Pinelands blueberries, and egg dishes that reflect the quality of local small-farm supply. Hot mains are assembled and sealed to galley-ready specification, requiring nothing more than the planned reheat cycle on board. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum twenty-four-hour lead time.
