Absolute's prices were supposed to be comparable or better than Morrisons,that was part of the deal, but they're not. There's also an ASDA nearby open H24 while Morrisons close at 2000/2100 and reopen about 8.30.
Then of course there's also Pearl's Burger van at a certain local diy store but I don't want to advertise do I.

Do I detect a rash of catering probs here, get a microwave in one of the hangar offices. Since all the grnd & air squaddies have gone the local cafes have closed, so no more damn good all day fry ups.

Ah fry ups. Back to the days when St John Ambulance used to provide the airfield ambulance service after RAE/DRA moved off the airfield.

In my limited dablings in GA I came across a guy called Tony who used to supply some us out of Biggin probably 10 or so years back, he has probably fallen by the wayside, but his food was good and he was a nice chap who couldn't do enough for you.

Thumbs up

I think you refer to Tony at Thinking Foods - they've gone mass catering style in Luton now.

This forum has just been brought to my attention - I don't normally do these website chats - but feel strongly here. We have used Absolute, Emillys and Deluxe amongst others, - they all supply a good service and are all professional, but if you want good food use Absolute definately.

I can also recommend the coffee in their cafe too- keeps me awake!

I look forward to hearing your opinions about Farnborough caterers!

There is also new cafe called 'The Aviator' by the old R&D hangar, very nice.

There is nothing superior about Absolute taste except the price, Coffee is coffee.

Been here over 30 years; never heard of an R & D hangar; are you referring to the re-built airship SHED (apart from the new 3-bay, hangars at Farnborough are referred to as sheds, this being what they were called prior to the invention of the word hangar)
