One of the key luxuries of flying private isn’t just the privacy, speed, or seamless ground handling, it’s the freedom to choose exactly how you travel, right down to the food and drink you enjoy onboard.
One of the key luxuries of flying private isn’t just the privacy, speed, or seamless ground handling, it’s the freedom to choose exactly how you travel, right down to the food and drink you enjoy onboard.
At Villiers Jets, we understand that every detail of your journey matters. That’s why we offer fully customisable catering options, designed around your preferences, dietary needs, and the purpose of your flight. Whether you're flying for business or leisure, with children or clients, dining onboard is about comfort, quality, and control.
So, what exactly can you eat and drink on a private jet? The short answer: almost anything you want. Here's a closer look at how in-flight dining works and what you can expect when you fly with Villiers Jets.
How Private Jet Catering Works
Unlike commercial airlines with fixed menus, private jet catering is bespoke. Before your flight, our team will request any catering preferences or dietary requirements, and we’ll organise meals, snacks, and beverages accordingly. You can opt for something light and simple, or indulge in a multi-course gourmet meal prepared by top-tier aviation caterers or your favourite restaurant. Catering options also vary depending on the size of the aircraft, the duration of the flight, and whether you’re flying from a major city with access to premium catering partners.
What Can I Eat?
On a private jet, food choices are tailored to you. Some of the most popular onboard options include:
Gourmet plated meals: Think seared fillet of beef, grilled salmon with asparagus, fresh pastas, or custom sushi platters.
Light bites: Sandwiches, wraps, seasonal salads, fresh fruit, and artisanal cheeses.
Breakfast service: Freshly baked pastries, yoghurt parfaits, smoothies, and egg dishes on request.
Special dietary options: Vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, low-carb, or allergy-sensitive menus can all be arranged with prior notice.
Kids’ meals: Simple, familiar favourites such as pasta, grilled chicken, or healthy snack boxes for younger travellers.
If you have a preferred restaurant, we can even source meals directly from them and have it freshly delivered to your aircraft before takeoff, subject to location and logistics.
What Can I Drink?
From barista-style coffee to vintage champagne, private jet flights offer a curated beverage experience. Most flights are stocked with a selection of premium wines, soft drinks, spirits, and water, but we can tailor the bar to your tastes.
Some frequently requested options include:
Vintage wines and champagne – Dom Pérignon, Krug, or Château Margaux
Top-shelf spirits – Grey Goose, Johnnie Walker Blue, Hennessy XO, or custom cocktail kits
Non-alcoholic options – Sparkling water, cold-pressed juices, herbal teas, and mocktails
Health-focused drinks – Protein shakes, green juices, coconut water, or electrolyte-enhanced water
If you're celebrating a special occasion, we can arrange birthday cakes, luxury chocolate boxes, or bespoke hampers to enjoy in the sky.
What to Expect Based on Aircraft Type
Catering capabilities vary depending on the type and size of aircraft:
Light Jets: Best for short flights, these may come with snacks, finger foods, and drinks, and can accommodate simpler meal requests.
Mid-Size & Super Mid Jets: Offer more space for plated meals and warm dishes, plus additional refrigeration for premium beverages.
Heavy Jets & Ultra-Long Range Jets: Full galley service is available, allowing for multi-course meals, larger group dining, and bespoke culinary experiences with a dedicated flight attendant onboard.
If you want full table service or in-flight fine dining, we’ll match you with an aircraft that supports those features - just let us know your requirements.
