First visit today off the recommendation of my partner. Lots of parking. A decent number of tables and lots of space. The latte coffee was nice but finished quickly, as it was only warm. I ordered the sausage bap at £4.50, which was tasty. A large bap and two nicely cooked sausages. My only food complaint was the sachets of brown sauce. Not nice. My partner ordered the breakfast, which he thoroughly enjoyed at £7ish, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, scrambled egg, toast and beans. I was curious why they didn't offer hash browns, and staff said they weren't allowed a frier. Surprising, as I would put them in an oven? I personally found the menu quite limited for someone who doesn't eat cheese, bacon, or eggs. I wanted something hot, but not much to choose from if you have any food intolerances. There also really isn't any atmosphere, to be honest. Ok I guess, if you want to sit up at the back window and look at the planes, but that's not very comfy for eating. It's possibly better during the summer if you can sit outside? So, the lack of 5 stars is due to the lack of choice in my case. Others may be very happy with the menu. The lack of character or atmosphere, and the coffee temperature. Having said that, the place is scrupulously clean, the chairs are really comfortable and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I would definitely go back for coffee, but would be sure to ask for extra...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAmazing. Without a doubt the nicest airport cafe I have ever experienced. Where do I start. Well first of all the ladies that run/ own it. If angels ran cafes this is what it would look like. Nothing is to much bother for them and the service is quick, efficient while everything is still freshly prepared.
It is well placed overlooking the apron at the southern end of the airport. Co-located with the tower and main airport lounge/ office in the months outside of winter you are often treated to the sights and sounds of the spitfire starting up right outside the windows.
The seating and decor is plain but to be honest the view through those windows more than makes up for it. There is also outdoor seating, a viewing area and even a kids play area (aircraft themed of course).
The only downside? Having recently had a career change Iām no longer in daily walking distance of this amazing cafe. But I will still regularly visit. Oh and bacon Brie and cranberry panini followed by any one of their amazing cakes is my...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreDefinitely a missed opportunity for something great here. The cafe is virtually empty and devoid of personality. The lady who served me was rude and very abrupt and brought 2 still dirty cups out to make our hot chocolates - I didnāt say anything for fear that she might make a scene given her attitude. The hot chocolates were just hot water and instant powder. No table service, and I was told āI donāt take cardsā in a very short way. Such a shame that this opportunity hasnāt been realised to its full potential as Iām sure it could be a wonderful and very...
