Very friendly (say hello to G-UTSY when you get there). Approach and Tower, usually (sometimes Approach does both). The folks in the Flight Briefing office are extremely helpful - but sometimes also extremely busy.
The landing fee reflects all that - we're based there and pay £17.21 a landing; you'll pay a bit more.
Don't plan on an overhead join!
Fuel price is up and down like a yoyo: I just got a bill for £1.1070 plus VAT per litre. It was £1.05 plus VAT a week or two back.
