Great bacon sandwich today with a latte. There's not much movement of planes today, but kids still love Nottingham City Airport.

I took my son here to try cake as he has nut/egg allergy and the staff were reassuring, the cake was fantastic, a few good options considering it's a small place and if it wasn't foggy I would've been so pleased to be so close to the little runway where there are small planes and I think helicopters that fly off from there

Lovely place, friendly staff. There were lots of small plane take offs and landings whilst we were there for about an hour Saturday afternoon and kids loved it. Cafe is located in the ATC building and you can sit next to the taxi way to view the planes. Coffee was not strong enough for my liking but the surroundings and whole experience makes you forget that.

I messaged to ask if they can cater for gluten free and it was no problem..they even made sure a gluten free cake was available on the day of our visit and it was amazing!! I have also ordered one of their celebration cakes that was extremely well priced and was honestly one of the nicest cakes I've ever had. This place is definitely one of my family's favorite places to go.

I was a little dissapointed with Chocks Away we arrived an hour before closing and went too order a hot toastie only too be told that the grill had already been cleaned so we would have to have something else, we went for ham and cheese cobs. No ham available. So as I say dissapointing we did stay and had just cheese cobs and tea which was nice.

Chocks away! Is a hidden gem I shouldn’t tell you about, it’s not that busy and the people are lovely. I’d hate for the word to get out about how amazing it is and then for it to get really busy 😝 It’s a great place to go if you want to grab a coffee or cake and watch the planes and helicopters come in and out. They also do light bites and breakfasts. My children love it here, I come on my own sometimes too to watch the world go by with lovely people.

Good standard cafe food, you cant go wrong really too for the price.

First time visit, not impressed, over price greasy spoon, over £12 for a mediocre luke warm breakfast, When the food arrived, the lad said, " You haven't got your knife and forks," I said, "I didn't know we had to get them, First time here," He replied in a sarcastic voice, "I will get them then. Then he went on about my daughter. She would have to pay for another tea, but mine was free, We had not had our first cup of tea yet, All they seem they wanted to do was just take your money, £23.48 Avoid

There is still room for potential improvement. Thanks for a clean cafe but sadly during todays visit we did not see the friendly staff also could you take a look at putting on for children a hot food menu e.g. half portions of the adults meals. Jacket potatoes should be available all the time for those who need gluten free options. Having read others reviews the airport owners really need to get their cleaning equipment out as the toilets are almost disgusting.

Nice place to sit +outside if you wish) to watch the planes & helicopters coming & going. Sadly the place was let down a touch by the tables that hadn't been wiped very well & the toilets.

Used to visit here at least once a week pre-pandemic days but haven't been since, until today. Was made to feel extremely welcome. Menu has changed but still all freshly made meals, including lots of toasties, jacket potatoes, burgers etc. Also lots of choice of drinks and homemade fresh cakes!! Breakfast is served until 12pm and then lunch until 2.30pm. Cakes are available throughout. The children have a separate area now, enclosed but still overlooking the runway. A fair amount of general seating indoors and out, definitely more would be needed for a busy sunny day. Great place to sit and watch the private aircraft and helicopter manoeuvres. I like that there is lots of parking including disabled spaces. Word of warning, as its quite open on a sunny day sunscreen is definitely required, I've previously learnt the hard way!

Came as a family. Service was quick, which made a refreshing change. Food was very average. Ordered 2 bacon and sausage rolls - both meat were greasy and appeared low quality. The menu was limited. No breakfast option beyond 11:30 but we essentially ordered a breakfast in a roll so ? Why they don’t offer breakfasts when their menu is very limited. They used to blame a post covid restart, but the menu is just lacking love. Cakes looked delicious but in catering for the minority they have excluded the majority. Not one on offer contained either gluten or egg - I asked which one had normal flour and/or egg and the answer was none of them. Disappointed to say the least! Overall it was very average. Food ok. Service quick. There are much better offerings if you are flying not too far away from Nottingham.

I hadn't been here for 3 years and was sadly disappointed. It wasn’t that busy and there seemed to be 3 staff working. We waited 40 minutes for a sausage cob, toasty and bowl of chips. That’s all that's on the menu- sausage and bacon cobs, toasties and chips so surely there’s plenty of it cooking and ready to go out? Instead it took as long between orders to make the food as it would if you were at home making it. Also breakfast finished at 11.30 yet the contents were available all day in cob form. No drinks menu available anywhere so I blindly ordered and then paid £6.40 for 2 hot chocolates - no cream or marshmallow just a spoonful of hot chocolate powder and some milk! Astronomical. On a plus side there was a whole page of VEGAN menu and vegan cakes etc so that was good. I was going to take my sister in law there, as she is vegan, but after the wait I don’t think I will. This used to be a great little place to grab a quick bite that was easy with the kids. We loved it and hope it returns to its former glory. Fingers crossed
