You could land at Booker, but won't get lunch because the cafe went out of business a few months ago.

Leicester is open all day on New Year's Eve, club restaurant is open. Also open on New Year's Day. In fact, they're only unmanned for one day a year; Christmas Day. Looks pretty breezy all weekend though. Fortunately lots of runways to choose from!

Sturgate.
Walk/cycle/get a lift to the Upton chippy and have coal fired, lard dripping fish and chips. Their curry sauce is to die for.

If you're willing to push back a day, Compton Abbas usually have a good fly in on the 1st. Usually worth a visit, last I heard it was on again this year.

I wish I had known Dunkeswell was open today. I tried phoning the Ops number on the web a few times yesterday and the day before to check but got no reply.
