Caernnarfon Airport Cafe

As the operator I have good news. The cafe has been taken over by a lovely gentleman. The food is lovely and presented in a nice way. All the favourites are on like bacon sandwiches and also a specials board.

I would welcome anyone down to try it. Let me know what you think

Enjoy

Sam

Caernnnnnnarfon Airport Cafe

It is with the greatest pleasure that I can say it is now a delightful experience eating in the cafe at EGCK.
The gentleman who has taken over is an experienced chef. He has the ability to make food the way I like it. Nicely presented. Tastes good. Plenty of it. Not overpriced. Clean. No long delays etc, etc.

Once again a happy eater

I was there last week and can confirm that it is very good. I had the heart attack on a plate known as the Dakota breakfast(or somthing along those lines). Best value for money breakfast ive ever seen!

Hi could you please confirm whether the cafe is open to non-airside people? i.e. can i drive over and get fodder?

While hopeful I will be flying in one day, it might not be soon!
Many thanks,
GullWing

I think you'll find that all cafes at GA airfields are open to non-flyers, although here on Pprune that assumption is bound to attract statements to the opposite effect!

I vaguely recall going to one airfield that had a big sign saying the cafe was for club members only....but I ate there anyway and no-one queried it. But apart from thatone exception, airfield cafes are goods place to eat; I use them regularly in preference to anywhere else when I'm on the road, if they're in convenient places - better food, prices, and ambience than motorway service stations etc.

One can imagine circumstances where such a sign is put up to avoid offence to local businesses, or planners who don't want extra traffic to the airfield...

... and then ignored by everybody.

I seem to remember hearing that this was no longer true at Barton. Apparently there you even have to be a club member to use the restaurant. Any Barton members comment?

This is no longer the case at Barton. I only know of this happening once or twice but it certainly wont happen again.

Barton - that was the one. But I went in there anyway - after all, I'm only a helicopter pilot, I can't read as well, can I. But there was no problem at all. Anyway, nice to know they've removed the sign.

Never found it to be a problem at Barton. During the transition period when Peel became involved, I think that some of the staff were themselves unsure as to how they should enforce what is after all a licensing rule imposed by the local authority.

All appears to now be resolved. I believe that they are even letting Scousers in these days
