Multiflight pretty much have the southside at LBA stitched up, they do all the handling, hangarage, fuelling, maintenance and flying training. They have spent a LOT of money over recent years, so want to recoup I guess and yes the handling is good (you do actually get a little something for the fee), but not really needed for light GA on a quick coffee stop. Although you can get a landing fee discount for training flights, or a handling discount if you're in for maintenance etc.
The flying club is just a short walk and has a really nice cafe, does the best burgers I've had anywhere outside the USA, IIRC it's called the spunkey monkey, or something like that.
Last time I was there, I did hear that they were planning to start charging for car parking as well.
