Shobdon airfield in Shropshire is ok too, if you like watching light aircraft take off and land. Decent food the last time I was there
The Hummingbird at Shoreham airport is a good shout if you're down on the south coast. https://flybrighton.com/the-airport/hummingbird-restaurant/
North Weald in Essex Just off the M11 Harlow exit: 2 potential cafes https://www.wingscafe.co.uk/ The Squadron: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...try=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAxNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw==
Missed this one somehow. I parachute out of Beccle's airfield near lowestoft. Pretty good cafe, lots of bikers visit and gets busy in summer. Not much to look at in terms of aircraft, mostly just us lot dropping out of the sky w3w = kidney.runner.slugs Also use Sibson airfield near Peterborough. Cafe there and few bikers visit during summer also w3w = iceberg.snapped.tomato
Lookout cafe at Biggin Hill is at the end of the Runway , plenty of parking and spitfires taking off and landing all day in the summer but less so in the autumn / winter. There also a small museum there with a cafe and you can go on a hangar tour at the Spitfire heritage centre and if your feeling flush book a flight in a Spitfire!
Old Sarum airfield near Salisbury used to have a cafe, lost this week when the adjacent Grade II listed WW1 hanger burnt to the ground. Coincidently a few days after planning permission was granted for 300+ homes on condition the developer renovated the said WW1 hangar………strange that? www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdder30z3j0o.amp

Goodwood, W. Sussex Compton Abbas, Dorset Popham, Hampshire Blackbushe, Hampshire, not used this cafe Lasham Airfield, Hampshire, although I haven’t been recently. The departure lounge is also close by. Has a fuselage for helping nervous flyers get over their phobia ( I think)
Lasham airfield Nr. Alton brand new cafe just opened as the old one burn down, great food and reasonable.
I haven’t been to the bike nights there, but the loss of the WW1 buildings is extremely sad. I’m sure it will be thoroughly investigated.
I popped in on Saturday, it’s very impressive, and a great destination. Their sausage rolls and fresh cakes/ pastries look next level.
Is there an avoid list? I went to Langar airfield for the first time this weekend, its one of the best parachute DZ's in the country but sadly not the best cafe! Rubbish roads in all directions it seems too (bacon roll is about the only option) Perhaps ride past and find another if its a full brekky you want
My dad taught me to drive at Lasham airport, then a couple of years on I taught my mate to drive there. It was essentially unused at the time (though Dan Air was still there) obviously. People would have likely gotten a bit irate about it. Seriously doubt you can bomb around the runway these days!
