Its a nice airfield and a place for car and bike enthusiasts to gather and have a good time. The views are amazing. There is plenty of space for car and bikes. There are toilets here but okish. I didnt use the cafe. We just sat outside and spent some time in the sun. Two hour drive to visit the aerobatic display. Easy to find Easy to park Bit of a queue for food Think they need to stay stocked up better for take out food. Very easy viewing of the flying activity. On a sunny day I'm sure could be a great destination venue. Good Breakfast Bap with quality ingredients, order wasn't correct initially but it was resolved by the waitress. Coffee was on the watery side and a bit weak, but it did have a chocolate outline of a plane on top, which is a nice touch. This was our first visit for 12 months after struggling to get food previously as we hadn't prebooked, so we have deliberately avoided and looked elsewhere. It still took a few minutes to find us a "free" table for us to spend 20mins for a Bap and a coffee (3 of us) 2/3 of the tables were not occupied but had been "laid up" so couldn't be used. This place should be amazing as the location and the venue is 5* but the implementation is currently 3* but i feel it has improved a little since our previous visits. Carvery platter for 2 on a Sunday £46. It's probably the best cooked meat I have eaten in months. Pork, chicken, and beef. Panoramic wall of windows looking out onto the runway and across to Shaftesbury. Worth every penny What a magical place to spend a few hours on a warm day. countryside views, plent of outdoor seating including loads of picnic tables alongside the low fence separating you from the active airfield. You really feel like you're right in the middle of the action. Their outdoor catering is unique with a large rustic style outside bar and food hut. The aircraft activity was constant with a variety of aircraft from Spitfire and biplanes to microlights and gyrocopters. I didn't sample the food but it looked good! location, staff and food at very reasonable prices. Its also a family friendly place. So nice to be able to get close to the aircraft and talk to pilots and crew. Very well worth a visit even if you are not bothered about aircraft. I will be back soon! 👍😁 Attended on the Friday of a Warbird Weekend May 2025. Very busy but thoroughly enjoyed the aircraft and Lore of the Sky restaurant. Had the Pork Belly and side salad, wife had the Nachos. Delicious! Would recommend visiting but maybe another time if you prefer it quiet. Would also recommend booking a table. We visited the Airfield today for my Mother in Laws Birthday lunch! We arrived 25 minutes earlier than we had booked our table for, but this was not a problem and the staff seated us very promptly with big smiles & a warm welcome. We had our 10 month old with us & were offered a high chair for him and all of the staff made such a fuss of him which he of course loved (especially a short haired, blonde lady)! Service was prompt but not rushed and choosing our food was hard due to everything sounding so delicious!! Every dish that we picked was absolutely amazing, cooked fresh in front of us (we were sat by the serving hatch) & we couldn’t believe how generous the portions were. Fantastic value for money & like I say, all delicious. Sadly we didn’t have room for any dessert, but again all of the sweets & cakes looked really & we would come back just try those! When our food was brought to us, our son was also just starting his lunch & the waitress offered us a plate for him which we thought was a really nice touch. He made quite a mess which we offered to tidy up but the waitress was adamant that she would do it & couldn’t have been more accommodating for him. (Looking at the receipt, I think her name was Megan?!) My partner and I both agreed afterwards that we had never been to a place where we had felt as relaxed & comfortable as parents as we did here, so thank you to all the wonderful staff. Overall a wonderful visit, very clean & staff just SO lovely. We will definitely be back & will recommend to our family & friends!
