Good choice! :ok:

excellent suggestions, keep them coming!

How about

Wing Farm near Warminster

with

The George Inn about 15 minute walk (open from 11am)

Is the pub still open at the Eastern end of the runway at Thurrock?

The pub at Arlingham (SW of Gloucester) does excellent food. You can land on the beach (good hard sand) and it's a five minute walk.

Check your tide table first.

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)

FC

Old Warden, lovely museum and restaurant though biggleswade is not far away

Nuthampstead with The Woodman 10 mins walk.

Convenient BKY VOR on the field...............

Cusco

Maypole - a couple of good pubs within walking distance.

Deanland - a pleasant enough pub in the village.

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?????

Skegness , pub on campsite 5 mins walk from check in and if your brave 20 mins to the sea for a paddle ! :ok:

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!!

Nuthampstead with The Woodman..
We went there today....great field and a nice walk to the pub. Food and welcome very good. :ok::ok::ok::ok: 4 stars for both.

The Dog and Partidge is still open

Another vote for MAypole in Kent. The pub is very nice and just 100yds away.

Annother vote for the Croft Farm, Defford. Stayed overnight at the Oak inn, great food, and beer!

There's a good bar at Headcorn (Lasham). 6 of us Spent a very blurry night there when we got weathered in once :ok:

Lashenden.

Lasham is somewhere completely different, although they also have a good bar.

Saturday looks good........anyone planing to go anywhere?
we are planning but not made up our minds yet?
Whet to Chiltern Park in the end.
Nice friendly strip.
Not so nice 3 mile walk into Goring but very nice lunch at The Miller of Mansfield
(got taxi back);)
