   Great place if you like airplanes/helicopters and aviation history. Great place if you want a proper full English breakfast. I had the breakfast wrap (containing bacon, sausages, egg and baked beans) which came with hash brown bites on the side. Never had these before but they are moreish! My partner had the full English and even he won't be hungry for the rest of the day ! Some delicious looking cakes also on offer although we didn't have any this time. There was a group of about a dozen cyclists but there was still plenty of space at other tables. There were dog treats on the counter so I guess well behaved dogs are welcome. Although a bit chilly today, is a nice outside terrace. It's a basic cafe and is what it is. I would definitely go again, but I've docked 1 star because the ladies toilet was wobbly and there was no hook on the door for my bag & coat.

   Love this cafe! Such a lovely area, the staff are great and the food is amazing. If you want to get to the cafe, you have to go to the right hand side and press the buzzer for the cafe and they let you in. Lots of parking and great way to watch the aircrafts.

   Great cafe for lunch stop. Staff are really helpful and they have an allergy book that you can check for any dietary restrictions. Good food selection with interesting options. We missed the specials boards at first and picked from the menus on the tables. Do check the boards. The fish in the butty was really well cooked. Pizzas looked great but didn't try - next time. The tuna salad was generous with the tuna but light on the leaves.

   The food is excellent. The service is poor. The waiting staff took 20 minutes to serve drinks and the tables around us were in the same position. I had to chase the waitress to place an order. When queried the young man running the front of house said he aligned doing drinks with food orders. On what hospitality planet does this happen? I can tell you no where… the owners of this place are missing out on revenue. In the time we were there they could of served us 2 rounds of drinks, possibly 3… but instead it was 1. They must have deep pockets to run an operation like this. Given the location and quality of food this should be 5*. Come on, I’ll be back and hoping to see an improvement in front of house. P.S. if you ran a coffee cart to the young driving school spectator area you would make a killing. 10-20 Parents there on Sunday every hour, freezing, and no doubt would order many times over.

   Very poor service 25 mimutes for a coffee & hot chocolate, in the end we had to take it out as we had run out of time. The hot chocolate was just hot milk, as it had not been made correctly & all the chocolate was stuck at the bottom, so we just tipped it out. Very poor

   Excellent food in a great location. Especially if the weather is good. Watching helicopters, small planes and supercars being moved around all whilst enjoying great service and food. Will definitely be going back.
