Where to go?
I've got one of my club's singles booked out for much of Bank Holiday Monday. 
I've also been asked to take a rather nice (female) friend up with me. No problems there at all.
I'd like to make it a really memorable day for her (for all the right reasons). I've got a few ideas of where to go, but does anybody know of any aerodromes either with a very good restaurant on the airfield, or within an easy walk? She's quite keen on seafood so a coastal aerodrome would seem like a good idea. Any suggestions from anyone?
I'm based in the Midlands.
On a similar note somebody suggested the Propeller Inn at Bembridge (IoW). Has anyone been there and can give me an idea of what it's like?

Perranporth is a very nice place to visit but I can't think of any decent retaurants in town. The flight there would be superb along the N coast of Devon & Cornwall. The walk from the airfield to Perranporth along the cliffs is beautiful on a good day but takes some time. Don't walk back because it's seriously uphill!

Was at Bembridge for the first time last Sunday, supposed to be at Sleap but weather going North from Bournemouth was just horrible. So plan for more than one destination!
Food at the Propeller Inn was very good. There was a good mix of dishes available. Pricess varied for £5 for a baguette up to £15 for steak.
Don't forget to look out for gliders / glider tugs landings on the grass strip when you are on the footpath to the Pub.
Landing fee was £10 just in case you care.
