Good value cafe. Lots of outdoor table for a sunny day and plenty inside for wet weather. Food is good quality and a wide range. Lots going on at the airport to keep kids and plane spotters interested!

Very popular local cafe and for food reason! Serves Costa coffee but also much more with good range of snacks and panini for a light lunch. Practically on the airfield so on a clear day some planes visible.

Great location and facilities if you are keen to watch the aircraft movements. Close enough to the threshold of runway 03 for good photos of bizjets with a 300mm lens. Food freshly prepared so may need to wait for order. Generous salad with tasty roasted veg tart. More UK airports should have an officially sanctioned runway side facility like this. It's good business and good for community relations.

Nice and clean. Only had a coffee while chatting to some like minded car group friends. Reasonably priced and service with a smile which always helps. Will definitely be back. Nice to see a few fancy planes coming in and out of the airport.

We met up here with our son and grandson as he really likes airplanes. It was very busy as it was a nice dry day, so service was a bit slow. It was warm enough to sit outside with a view over the runway. The coffee was good, but sadly the piece of cake I had was a bit dry. However, the cake my wife had was ok.
