Baxterley (Charity Farm) with the Rose Inn in the village which is a short walk from the strip
There are a couple of nice pub's in Whittington which isn't too far from the strips at Sittles Farm, Alrewas (near Lichfield) or the Microlight strip at Roddige (just down the road from Sittles)

More great ideas for the weekends flying...shame not got a aircraft or mate to go with this weekend. But we have planned a few flights...
I'm putting together a spreadsheet with web links to both the farmstrips and the closest pubs....
SO lets keep this thread going with more strips/pubs and maybe a star ratting?????

Cromer
Agree about Keyston, fantastic place. About 3 months ago signs appeared next to the runway requesting all pilots to PPR. The contact details are in Lockyears.
To add to the list:
Cromer - the airfield is a 15 minute footpath walk across fields to the Foundry Arms at Northrepps which does absolutely superb food.
The airfield moved about a year ago, my last years Lockyear has the old site but my 2009 Pooleys has the new site.
Easy way to tell if you're looking at a new plate is that the new site has 2 runways, the old one only had one runway.
You'll get a very friendly reception here.

Netherthorpe - EGNF
awesome airfield, very friendly and welcoming.
Clubhouse itself serves some lovely food, but within a mile or two are the Hewitt arms and the parish oven.
with only 450m ish of grass, EGNF is well worth a visit if you're up for the challenge!!
