Hello Sam!
I'm the bloke who used to live over the road in Llithfaen...
As they said: gourmet food isn't essential. All-day breakfast and equivalents - bacon sarnie, sausage sarnie, hot dog, burger - is what it takes. Mustard is essential for some.
Tea and coffee, and cold fizzies for hot weather.
Cake and sticky buns are a nice add-on, but must be fresh.
If the caterers can offer that AND some upmarket food as well, that's excellent. But don't fall for the "posh lunches, so no all-day brekkie" trick.
See you on August 19th - I hope there'll be food for the Studes Fly-In!

6 Oysters with a sprinkle of lemon and a dash of Tabasco. Followed by either a whole seabass with a rocket and parmesan salad or a whole grilled lobster with truffle mayonaise and the same salad. Coffee and mints.
All available at Christies in Guernsey after a quick 1:20 flight down and a short cab ride.
Transport cafe style grease is not my idea of flying out for lunch!
Where ever possible I head for the CI or continent for my lunch trips. It makes the non flyers happier as well!!

I think the key is not to use standard supermarket toot. Instead use local farm produce, local veg, local salad.
Ban microwaves, especialy for baked tatoes...i mean how can it be a backed tatty if it is nuked?
My list:
1) Steaks
2) Burgers (not 2% meat type product 98% scrotum, flem, dandruff, floor sweepings)
3) Fish
4) Seafood platter
5) Grilled Chicken
6) Lamb
7) Salads (get a salad cook book, dont just bung a bit of green stuff a tomato and a bit of cucmber on a plate)
8) Home made lasagne
Tatties need to be real tatties hand peeled and chopped, not smash or aunt bessies frozen roasties (which are actualy deep fried)
I can go on forever.

I like the food at Compton Abbas and Old Buckenham. A nice mixture of all day breakfast, nice burgers & salad (and chips), freshly cooked omelettes and salad plus Lasagne and salad and a few other daily specials.
I don't know if you've visited either of these airfields but they attract as many aviation enthusiasts by car as they do by air and always seem busy. This must mean that the restaurant has some customers when the weather isn't great for flying.
Nice toilets and pleasant surroundings also make a difference.

Personally, I don't hold with all this foreign food. Give me a Lamb Madras every time.

I've just thought on about the restaurant that used to be upstairs. That used to be so busy we had to book a table. Week end carvery would be excellent, but a lot of extra work. Is it even usable any more? Great view of all the thuds and goes.

We just been to The Crab & Lobster. Now theres an eaterie that lives up to expectation.
I think that the key lies in offering a good selection - the all-day brekkie, on a plate or in a sarnie; home made cakes rather than pre packed slices; jacket spud or cold meats & cheese and salad.

sounds great
got to agree with everyone on the all day brekkie/curry/sarnies (not together of course!)
Just hope I get the PPL quickly so I can come all the way down the coast from Hawarden to sample your finest! Sounds like a good excuse for some brunch on a sunday!
Best of luck with it
