The £100 hamburger

Having been to the G-VFWE at Kemble yesterday, I can declare that the £100 hamburger is now dead in the UK. The AV8 restaurant there was really impressive, and would make a pleasant stop at anytime. The hamburger has now been replaced with a £100 chicken ceasar salad!

We had excellent £100 "vegetarian wrap" and lovely coffee, served by a very nice young lady I might add, at Hilversum EHHV weekend before last - higly recommended!

Dinner at the AV8 on Friday was very good, couple of beers, bottle of Pinotage, two courses - £55. The serving wenches were good fun, too.

Filled the tanks up on the aeroplane - £55.

Surely some coincidence??

Talking Call that expensive?

Managed a £150 packet of crisps at Swansea yesterday. Beat that.

Thought my £180 cheese and onion toasty was a winner, but the crisps get my vote!

Expensive scoff

Kemble - great weekend, if a little wet. Good old Cambrai!

I reckon my 2 old planes cost £300 per hour each to operate so an hour each way to get them there.......

No - don't work it out for me-I am glad that maths isn't my best subject!

No wonder we took our own scoff.

Hi folks,

I am curios as to what this £100/$100 hamburger is? I am visiting America in June and would like to try this item of food! Can someone fill me in (get it? fill me in ) on the contents of this article!

Cheers

Hey, I just did a 3 hour flight in a B95 to New Orleans. It worked out to be a $1000 cup of coffee ...

Wouldn't it be great to have a website like this here? Not difficult to set up, but hard to promote, I guess.

I must say most airfield restaurants serve unimaginative cr*p in an unspiring, smelly, greasy spoon environment.

Have worked it out but I won't tell you. Good that you got them over there though - and in prime position as well. Nice to see the Miles collection taking centre stage.

Hmmmmm actually on a serious note, I'm no tight ar$e but the food at Kemble was an absolute RIP-OFF, the sole food tent which was obviously there to create a Monopoly on the days captive hungry Pilot market was absolutely cr@p !

For the privilege of having a cold tray of chips, a jumbo sausage in a bread(?) roll, a jam doughnut & a weak cup of tea they made me £8 lighter !!!

Whats anyone elses thoughts on this, or should I take a laxative

Come to think of it, they were advertising a "747 Boeing Burger" at Swansea. Not sure whether it costs $120,000,000 or not, but it's probably very nice.

The real £100 hamburger

While I suspect that thy're far too upmarket to server hamburgers (or at least call them that) this place is probably where you will end up paying £100 for one!

You can fly in, but only by 'chopper

a kit-kat and a packet of salt & vinegar crisps at Lydd cost me £130 a couple of months ago. I got some of my money back by taking a sachet of tomato ketchup to go with the sausage sarnie that I had in my bag
