Best Grass Airstrips with pubs nearby!
 

Nothing finer than landing in a small grass strip and wandering down to a nearby pub for lunch!

My offering is

Clutton Hill Airstrip

with Hunters Rest Inn only a five minute walk from the strip.

Where do you suggest?

Chilbolton, Abbots Mitre? About 20 minutes walk.

Grass Strips with pub
 

Keyston is excellent. Details in lockyears

Keyston tops my list due the pub but for outright hospitality and neighborliness you can't beat the owners of Burnham Thorpe and the pub The Nelson. Definitely worth a stop.

Another vote for Keyston.

Croft Farm, Defford. Wonderful place and the pub's not bad either.

Maypole, Kent...

Turn left out the gate, 100yds. Pub.


BEX

I remember going to this pub one lunch time many years ago and seeing a Piper Cub parked in the field right by the entrance.

The Pub With No Name

Keyston & Croft Farm. The Pub With No Name is adjacent to Colemore Common and is allegedly the highest pub in Hampshire. It's a very fine pub.

At Sywell one doesn't have to leave the field :ok:

Just 2 avoids - the new concrete runway and the person I cannot name.

Also, Rochester and the hotel isn't that bad. Though when I last stayed there someone banged on my door just before midnight and asked...

have you got a girl in there?

"No I haven't" said I idignantly.

OK I'll be right back with one:eek: Mwa mwa mwaaa

SGC too warm for a coat

Shobdon - choice of three runways 1 sealed, 2 grass (all parallel) if you are a microlight, otherwise 1 grass which is longer than the sealed. Own cafe and bar on airfield, friendly staff and locals, plenty of parking and reasonable landing fees. Also pub not too far away (about 3/4 mile) in Shobdon Village itself. Shobdon Food Festival at the end of June for those who may be interested in local fare and it will also be the Open Weekend at the airfield with various events. :ok:
26th & 27th June. Shobdon Airfield Aviation Weekend
The highlight of the year, and one for ALL Club members, their family and friends. Planned to coincide as a joint venture with the Shobdon Festival at Shobdon Church and Arches.
All airfield operators will be offering trial flights, and in addition there are aerobatic displays,
and military aircraft flying in or by. Static displays of classic aircraft and classic cars, military
vehicles, and many other stands. LAA Strut Fly-In. BBQ and food all day. (From a recent HAC News Letter)

Shobden/Sywell - I was looking for Airstrips rather than airfields, but thanks anyway

As mentioned above, the Prince of Wales is but a step or two away from Maypole and does very good food.

A polite reminder that Maypole requires PPR due to restricted movements - not usually a problem.

40D - Three Lakes, WI

AirNav: 40D - Three Lakes Municipal Airport

Glenforsa?

manchester barton airfield with trafford centre?

Eddsfield
Bute
Gigha

Oaksey Park. About a 10-15 minute walk to the Wheatsheaf, along a lovely country lane.

Woonton - grass strip not too far from Shobdon (a few miles SW and on the chart) and I believe it has a pub in the village.

After reading this thread...we went to Croft Farm, Defford. Had a very nice meal in the Oak. Well worth it! Very friendly airfield and pub. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/...d53a9034cf.jpg
