What a gem of a restaurant this is. They have been here for over 30 years and I can see why. I had lunch with a lovely friend and it was the first time I have been here. Don't miss this lovely place. The food, ambience and service was outstanding. We had a lovely lunch and overlooking the aerodrome. Beautiful surrounding area and well worth a visit. What a find and thank you so much for finding us a table as we did not make a reservation.

This restaurant exists in a time warp! Though (or maybe because) popular with diners of a certain age the food is a throwback to the 60's and 70's, typically over-rich with lots of cream and butter. My piri piri chicken was totally inauthentic, just a piece of roast chicken breast covered in a thick mildly spiced tomato sauce. Service was offhand and lacking any continental charm.

I will pre-empt this with I went to Biggles because of the great reviews I saw and I think it helps if you're a regular... Menu and atmosphere were transplanted out of the 80s and while my roast was good, my dining partner's food was average. We had the Sunday 3 course menu. Deep fried mushrooms were soggy and the prawn cocktail was ok Pork roast was good and they made allowances for my dairy intolerance, grilled salmon passable Then dessert trolley, only fruit for the dairy afflicted. And profiteroles for my partner, she enjoyed those. The service was mixed, care and attention from some of the staff, not from others, like not telling us the contents of the dessert trolley and just leaving silence for us to ask what each thing was. Which was done for others. Also, silver service standard from some staff, just tipping salvers onto your plate from others. Our coats were taken at the beginning but we had to find them on our way out. Interesting experience, I'm personally not going to return.

A difficult place to locate in the dark without satnav but when you arrive you are well rewarded with a friendly greeting and good food in a convivial atmosphere. The menu choice is impressive and cannot fail to appeal so walk in, drive in, or even fly in, for a very jolly experience.

Lovely Spanish style restaurant on the fringe of Denham Aérodrome, lots of nice little planes to see. Nice staff bring the well prepared food as the cool country air breezes through the restaurant. You can eat for less it's true, but this is like Spain without the horrible airport or the blistering heat of August; well worth the extra dineros.

Arrive by plane or car - or more realistically time machine as you step back into the 80s. Classic British and European fare cooked well with exceptional and attentive service. Can’t beat this place if you like traditional food done well.

Rather sad in that we have been coming to Biggles for many years (at least 3 times a year) Our last visit was rather disappointing in that the starter, a prawn cocktail, the sauce was very bland & the Sunday roast beef came already served with gravey. Had better at an average carvery. The choice of desserts no longer came on a trolley and were rather disappointing

Does feel like a step back to the 70s and 80s in terms of ambience - music was a mix of 10cc, The Bee Gees and Motown classics. The aviation pictures are of RAF's Cold War might. Menu includes prawn cocktail, melon, beef stroganoff, and other Delia classics. The waiting staff (I'm guessing Spainish as Estrella Galicia was the best beer choice on the menu) are perfectly attentive. And the food was delicious. Don't be put off by the look, the grub is great.

Our daughter booked this for Easter Sunday. Was looking forward to having a meal. I had the beef Wellington. The steak inside was cooked to perfection but just sliced mushrooms on top, which was a letdown. The duck was so so. Our daughters meal of fish looked ok , son in law steak looked so so. Our grandchildren had the Sunday roast which also looked reasonably ok, but the meat was already in a gravy. Did that mean it was reheated ? There was no choice of different vegetables, so only had what would be served on a Sunday. I would have preferred a choice. Biggest let down was the fact that the children paid full price, not a children's menu. Because our daughter was paying and she did not want to make a scene, i just kept quiet. Would not recommend

We have been going to this restaurant at least once a month. The last time we went there we did not pay the service charge because the waiter who served us was very rude. He threw the basket of bread in the middle of the table. My companion and I looked at him but did not say a word to him. When he brought the food he just dumped it on the table. I had to ask him to kindly remove the bone from the fish. He eventually did it saying to me that he didn't know that I didn't eat bones. I found this very insulting. So because of this I did not pay his tip which was optional. He then went and told his colleague that I refused to pay the tip. When I was leaving to go to my car he followed me shouting at my husband and asking my husband for the tip that I did not pay. My husband just replied to him that the tip was optional he didn't want to go into any details as we were already very disappointed with the service. He then carried on shouting at us harassing him even more. When we started the car to drive off he told us never to go back to Biggles Restaurant. We found this behaviour very unbecoming and uncalled for. This was basiccally an attack on us.

We enjoyed a fantastic evening at this restaurant. We were a group of 8 friends and each of us were delighted with our food choices. The Tournedos Biggles with port and Stilton sauce is highly recommended as is the Cardinal Sole. I chose the Scampi in Love which is cooked and flambeed at your tabke - delicious! Starters and desserts were all delicious and we can recommend the oranges in Grand Marnier and the creme brulee ! The service was first class. The staff were very professional and efficient and they were also great fun with a great sense of humour! Great ambience - my only thought is that the decor is a little dated and tired which may be part of the appeal for some.

Cannot fault the food it was lovely, if a touch salty for my taste. It is also a little on the pricey side. What really lets Biggles down so far as I am concerned is the level of comfort. Because it is such a small space, to maximise revenue they have packed too many tables in there and they are crammed so close together. The ceiling is quite low so the sound does not seem to dissipate and at times it was so noisy I had to shout across the table to my dining companion. Another problem was the heat. This evening it was quite humid and because of the lack of air, the sweat was pouring off of me. Eventually a couple of windows were opened, but they should have done that about 4.00pm to get some air circulating, rather than wait until 8.30 ! Finally, the chairs were so unforgiving, my rear end has not been so uncomfortable since my schooldays. I have sat in hospital waiting rooms where the levels of comfort are higher. I have given Biggles 3 stars, because to give it just two would be somewhat churlish. if i were marking out of ten it would just about make five . The food would score 8/10 but the comfort level struggles to reach 2/10. So would i rush back. If proper tables were set up wuth comfortable chairs outside, or they invested in air conditioning or at least a few fans, then perhaps I would, but as it is now, I dont think so. I also think it is very pricey for what it is
