Airfield with Good restaurant on site or nearby?
Hi All,
Approval for me getting my ppl from the controller of finance rested on me being able to take her to places with somewhere good to eat. Now that time has come!
Anyone know of airfields with a good (and she has high standards) restaurants onsite or nearby?
Thanks

Day Trip
Le Touquet.
There are often more G- reg on the ground there than F- reg. The airport restaurant thinks it's better than it really is but it's still pretty good. A walk in to town rewards with some excellent eateries.
Lee-on-the-Solent.
Walk to Osborne View, Hill Head. Only Pub Grub (though high end) but a wonderful view out over the Solent.
Night Stop
La Rochelle.
Andre's. But book well ahead. Best seafood restaurant I've ever visited (including Café Turin, Place Garibaldi, Nice and some pretty good places on Pier 39, San Francisco)

Biggles at EBKT Kortrijk. Need to book in advance.
Some more suggestions at http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...staurants.html - but the trouble is a good place doesn't remain a good place for very long, usually.

IndiaFourTwo,
Thanks for putting all the links together in this thread.
I've been looking for something similar and knew there was more than the 2 or 3 I'd found on the search facility.

TPP,
You're welcome.
I agree with 'surely not'. Compton Abbas is great. Sitting on a patio at 800' AMSL, with marvellous views AND watching aeroplanes. Good food too, particularly breakfast.

compton abbas...sitting with fine food, but your gear has collapsed on your plane. try roserrow, polzeath, 4 mins to golf clubhouse, 9 mins to pub in rock and the runway is far superior to compton. oh and 19 mins walk down to the sea, via a footpath.
Fairoaks is close (2 miles) to a village called Chobham which has several high class restaurants with Spanish, Indian and English cuisine, plus there are 2 pubs with recently refurbished restaurant facilities.

Not sure if you count 2 miles as too far, but Jamie Oliver's Fifteen is a five minute taxi ride from Newquay Airport, and the location is stunning. Not cheap, obviously...
Also, The Beach Hut (run by Watergate Bay Hotel) is just below Fifteen, and is a bit more casual, but good food.

You UK'ers are SO ubiquitous about LFAT that mere mortals steer clear. Can you really not be a bit more diverse/adventurous/individual? Copied verbatim from another forum:
'nough said?
I don’t do L2K — all parking spots have British towels on them 24/7

Denham is a nice airfield it is my local one.
I think Leicester is nice and so is Shoreham. I personally love flying into Duxford, just feels good for me and you can see interesting planes on the ground usually. It is a little pricey for worth it.
