Wales Lunch Trip

Looking for a place to fly to in Wales that serves a fantastic lunch either on the airfield or near by Saturday, any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Caernarfon............. I cannot advise about lunch , but their Dakota special breakfast is well worth the trip !

All in all a very nice destination.............we were lucky with weather CAVOK and light and variable wind , temp 28 deg C................well warm enough for a swim .....the beach is just a couple of minutes stroll away.

Orbited over Snowdon , watching the smoke from the steam trains going stright up !

Welshpool is a great place to fly to, theres a place to get food on site or just wander up to the local pub..i think its called the compass. (ive not been there for a while though)

Lunch waht lunch ?

Whatever you do DO NOT even contemplate Swansea, there are no facilities whatsoever.

Though I do hear that a punch in the face is on the menu if you upset the local helicopter instructor. See Rotorhead threads.

Seems that warlike tribes still inhabit the area.

I have some Welsh people with a holiday home near to my house in France, they said they wanted to be treated just like other Brits so I burnt their house down ! (Joke)

If you flew to Welshpool you could indeed walk the 700m to The Compass for lunch. Which is OK but not special.

Or you could get them to call you a taxi and get taken the 2 miles to Powis Castle where the tea rooms do really nice food. Then walk it off with a stroll around the magnificent gardens for a nice day out. Taxi ride will be about a £5 each way.

Cheers

Yes please do see the Rotorheads thread which has, incidently, been closed for very good reasons.

You'll have to redo your W&B before leaving
