Private Jet Catering at London Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB / BQH), London
BQH (IATA) · EGKB (ICAO)
Prepared to order, delivered airside
Every dish delivered to BQH carries ingredient-level allergen labelling and diet flags your crew can read at a glance, so private jet catering into London runs on clarity, not guesswork.
Your crew and handling agent work directly with Chef Aditya Larsen, who cooks and packs the order for your departure from London Biggin Hill Airport. Produce is received each morning, prepped to the day's brief, and sealed under cold-chain discipline for the drive to the ramp. If your slot moves or a dietary requirement is added after the initial quote, Chef Larsen adjusts the production schedule and confirms the revised delivery window with you. Temperature is monitored from the kitchen door to the handover, so what was chilled when it left stays chilled when your crew stows it.
Chef Aditya Larsen is a Private Jet Menu Specialist whose wellness-led aviation cuisine prioritizes long-haul cabin stability through balanced proteins, vibrant salads, and carefully controlled dietary menus. His personal signature includes a truffle vegetable tart paired with buckwheat breakfast bowl.
How to order flight catering at London Biggin Hill
You no longer need to chase separate suppliers for special diets or amended counts. When you order private jet catering for a departure from London Biggin Hill Airport, allergens are labelled literally on every item—dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts—so your crew can brief passengers without second-guessing. Vegetarian, vegan, and kosher meals travel on the same order, portioned and sealed individually. Lead time is typically twenty-four hours for a private jet catering quote and delivery; shorter windows are workable when the slot and the order are confirmed together.
The London kitchen
Jet catering London: the kitchen behind BQH
Our London production facility operates walk-in cold rooms, dedicated pastry and garde-manger stations, and scheduling built around same-day departures from London Biggin Hill Airport. Plating begins once your slot is confirmed; hot components are timed to your wheels-up, sealed under controlled temperature and transferred in refrigerated vehicles. Every private jet catering order leaves with full traceability—allergen labels, reheating instructions and service sequences written for the cabin you've specified. Capacity extends to large-cabin galleys and multi-course menus; when your passenger count climbs or the itinerary stretches across time zones, the kitchen scales portions and packing without compromising plate composition or hold times.

Airside delivery
Aviation catering delivery at EGKB
EGKB orders are delivered airside by badged drivers in temperature-controlled vehicles, timed to your slot. The kitchen preparing your order coordinates directly with your FBO or handling agent, so the handover happens at the ramp or directly at the aircraft door. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are managed on the same cold-chain discipline. For larger cabins, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available. Packaging is sealed and labelled, holding temperature through delays or revised departure windows.

Inflight catering — United Kingdom
Inflight menu development for London Biggin Hill departures
Altitude dries the palate and flattens aroma, so seasoning is built higher than it would be on the ground. Dishes that hold their structure through a galley reheat—braised proteins, gratins, firm-textured vegetables—are chosen over delicate assemblies that collapse under steam. Cold preparations for your private jet menu are dressed just before packing, not hours ahead, so they arrive bright rather than wilted. Sauces travel separately when texture matters. The inflight menu reflects what reheats cleanly in convection ovens with limited power, and what can be plated cold and still read as intentional.

Local calendar
Event-season private jet catering at London Biggin Hill Airport
When the calendar swings through late May for Chelsea Flower Show, mid-June for Royal Ascot, late June into July for Wimbledon or July in even years for Farnborough Airshow, the apron at London Biggin Hill Airport tightens. PPR windows shrink, high-loader bookings fill early and your usual ordering lead time needs to move forward by a day or two. We scale kitchen capacity to match the surge—extra pastry runs, additional cold-hold stations, staggered dispatch times—so your private jet catering still boards on schedule even when the ramp is stacked with arrivals. If you're coordinating multiple sectors or passenger pickups during these weeks, reach out earlier than usual and we'll lock your slot before the rush peaks.
