   Sharing Sunday roast platter for 3. Lots of slow cooked meats, plenty of roasties and vegetables cooked perfectly (not over done) and a Yorkshire each. Extra gravy when requested. Quick and friendly service. Excellent overall and looking forward to October when they do Sunday lunches again.

   What a fantastic place to visit and eat! The Sunday roast smoked meat platter was just awesome. The meat was smoky and tender, the Yorkshire was lovely and crunchy, fluffy roast potatoes and the cauliflower cheese was rich and creamy. This was freshly cooked food at its best. A bit more expensive than your pub Sunday roast but worth every penny. Loved watching the planes outside too. Service was also top notch - friendly and attentive. A great find and will definitely be back for the summer menu.

   A tasty meal in a unique setting. The menu is quite limited, but that means they can do a few things very well. Will be back.

   We flew in to enjoy a lunch at one of the most spectacular airfields in the UK. Unfortunately, the signature dish of pulled beef in a bap, with coleslaw and fries was only just warm enough, served on cold tin plates and tasted very bland. Not good vale and looking at the very limited menu, I am not sure that we will book a lunch again. The ambience, staff and service was excellent.

   Roast dinner platter for 2 was a very generous portion. The beef and pork belly was nice but the chicken legs were very small and the pigs in blankets weren't cooked thoroughly enough. We sent them back and received a replacement promptly. Cauliflower cheese was overcooked with hardly any sauce. Veg, Yorkshire and gravy good. Desserts were hearty and enjoyable. We like eating here but felt this was slightly below average today. Maybe because it was a busy Mother's day.
