Club Virage Beccles Aerodrome in Waveney

Lovely quirky place but the food wasn’t great. We were a party of 6 & all had different meals. I had the lasagne & it was tasteless and whatever mince was in it (which wasn’t much) was cheap & gristly. My son had the ham, egg & chips - cheap ham & overcooked fried egg. The toilet wasn’t very clean & the bin was overflowing with paper towels. We won’t be going back.

OMG! If you want a fun experience or need to get a special present for a friend consider a helicopter 🚁 ride with Virage at Beccles airport! We bought it as a present for our friend and she kindly invited us to join her. There are three seats ,30 min trip , fabulous relaxed pilot ( Phil) and atmosphere ( Ava, Amy, doggies Megan and Teddy). Free coffee and chocolate bars on arrival. The flight was excellent we saw all our houses, the coast looked amazing; light house and the many many large country houses that are in our area. Cafe that serves great meals, we had brunch afterwards with Prosecco . From here you can see all the light aircraft going in and out. There is also a lovely looking restaurant in a ⛺️ teepee. Plus a double decker bus and 1965 original Tardis. The whole atmosphere is “unique” fun and friendly . Very well run. Thank you , I’m definitely booking again for others ( hoping they will bring me❤️🙏). Cost £235(2023 purchased)

A lovely spot with a variety of seating options indoors and out. Pup friendly. Quirky and unusual. Fresh food nicely presented and very tasty. Price point v reasonable. Service warm and welcoming. Five star food hygiene. Google Maps found it perfectly well. Will definitely visit again.. but… please make better coffee! The Americano I had tasted like it was a long way from a coffee bean and the characteristic crema was non existent (not helped by being served in a clear glass mug with a handle). Prosecco was a great price per glass and not a bad brand, but could have been quite a bit colder. But perhaps a more serious concern would be about parking signage, because on entering the busy site, parking arrangement are not clear. Even with only a handful of people there the day we visited, knowing where to park was a challenge. I would estimate that about 100 people could be visiting at any one time, max, generating some fifty cars, given that it’s in the middle of nowhere, so I can’t imagine how the site would cope. I only mention this because it’s not unforeseeable that emergency vehicles would require access should anything unfortunate happen and no-one wants to be the owner of the parked car blocking the way. Helicopters, light aircraft and parachutes are operating all around so I think some parking signage would be a reasonable (& cheap) improvement?

A lovely eccentric cafe/restaurant sited on Beecles aerodrome so you can watch the planes and parachutist while you eat. Alongside the small cafe they have outside pods, a double decker bus and a yurt marquee so plenty of options. Best to book beforehand as can get very busy. Food is lovely and plentiful and the staff give an excellent serice. The only thing was that we went on a Wednesday when the specials menu was not available so our choice was not quite so big but there was still something for everyone and was good value for money. We will definitely be returning

Great location and quirky setting with opportunity to observe planes and parachutists whilst eating. Brilliant for our grandson who is currently trying to gain his pilot’s licence. Friendly staff and great service. Very good value for money and varied choice.

We went to Club Virage for the family and friends get together after my mum's funeral (12th March '24). Our event was hosted in a giant teepee which was a delightfully quirky affair. All the guests were impressed and delighted with all aspects of the venue! We had kept in regular contact with the organisers beforehand, to discuss food, costs and timing. There was always a prompt and helpful response to our emails. We booked for 40 people, not being sure of how many would stay on. There ended up being about 35 of us, and food enough for 60, at least! The tables were all prepared before our arrival with table cloths, cutlery, plate loads of various sandwiches (half on wholemeal bread as requested), crisps, quiches, mostly vegetarian, and numerous cakes and fruits. The staff were all so kind, polite and helpful - it was a very relaxed gathering - which was very comforting after the immense sadness of the funeral. We have only the highest praise for all the work that went into it - our heartfelt thanks to all of the staff!

Breakfast and coffee was lovely ....but it was soooo cold that we had to keep our coats on to eat! Will come back in the summer and try again.

I’ve been here a few times now with family and friends and enjoyed the experience. It’s a very popular cafe, so always best to book. I’ve had their full English Breakfast each time I’ve visited and been very satisfied. Today not wanting a big meal, I went for a toastie. It was generously filled in my choice of bread, lots of dressed salad and a pile of crisps. The atmosphere is great too. Situated beside the Beccles Skydiving runway, there’s a stream of light aircraft taking off or landing, with parachutists falling from the sky. It’s an unusual experience, with lots of aircraft part around, like tables made from aircraft wings. The staff are pleasant too.

We are regular visitors to the venue and when we needed a venue for the celebration of life following cremation at Ellough decided to speak to them to see if it was possible. Well it was and they did a superb job. We hired the big Teepee tent which was an ideal size for the 50 people we expected. We left all the catering arrangements to them after saying a few things we would like on buffet and were not disappointed and there was a huge spread with regular top ups of sandwiches and fresh chips. Sadly couldn't eat it all but guests given boxes and foil so it wasn't wasted. Prices do reasonable for drinks we had an open bar for hot or bar drinks which was very reasonable indeed. The staff were lovely and helpful from first contact till we left. I'm sure word will spread that this is a great venue option for any cremation at the crematorium only 2 mins drive away.

Lovely setting and enjoyed watching the parachutists landing nearby. Food very reasonably priced and decent. The staff were all very friendly ... however, they were very slow ... we waited 10 minutes to be seated, despite booking. Drinks then took ages to arrive and the food a good while after. Longest wait was to pay - asked 3 times ... in total we were there for almost 2 hours! We just had light lunches and an ice cream. I would go again - but not if I had to be anywhere soon after!

My wife and myself had a helicopter trip and after we went to the cafe and bar. Truly an amazing cap for our day, friendly service brilliant layout, food cooked to perfection, coffee just as we wanted. We will definitely be back with friends soon.

I would highly recommend checking out Club Virage, a fantastic local restaurant that has quickly become one of our favorites. With its reasonable prices, unique decor, and impeccable service, it offers a delightful dining experience. The establishment's unusual interior design adds an extra touch of charm, creating a memorable atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a cozy evening out or a delightful lunch, Club Virage is sure to impress.

Stayed in The Hannah absolutly awesome will recommend it as a must, especially if you love aeroplanes. Thank you

What a great find. Beautiful, clean and interesting setting, excellent food and great value for money.

Excellent food , we had haloumi skewers and chicken and vegetable skewers . Plenty of food thoughtfully presented and prepared. All very good value for money . The teepee setting was fun with aircraft wings as tables .

My. Daughter brought me here today She had been about 4 times We were in the teepee What. a wonderful place never ever seen such wonderful decor so tastefull done Food was excellent The two young ladies were lovely very friendly I would certainly recommend it to friends and family On way home in car couldn't stop speaking about it

Suggested by a friend and sat looking out over the airfield with a fry up, friendly staff and even though they were busy wasn’t made to feel inconvenient. Relaxing environment. Just explained a slight wait that was well worth it. Highly recommend.

I pre booked and flew into the airfield. Great A/G Radio, easy parking for aircraft. When we arrived in the restaurant it was very busy but were were accommodated in one of the 'pods'. a very quirky but ni e experience. Few menu issues with someone didn't go to the shops, but it just demonstrates that food is fresh. the Ham Egg and Chips was great. Deffo will return

Amazing food, atmosphere and very quirky. Very reasonably priced food and drinks. We all loved it! Watching the plans take off and land is great entertainment for the kids as well as the adults. Staff are friendly and just a great feel about the place.

This place was recommended to us and our 1st first was okay, so as our Granson loves Airplanes we decided to visit again with him and our Son for Breakfast. This visit i can only describe as APPALLING. On entering we found a vacant table which although hadn't been cleaned following last user's was available. After sitting and being ignored for 25 minutes i had to ask a Waitress for some Menu's, another Waitress brought them and basically just threw them on the table as she seemed more concerned with talking to her two friends sitting by the door, who by the way had arrived about 15 minutes after us and were now enjoying their drinks. We waited another 25 minutes and decided that now we had been here 50 minutes and still being ignored, our table had still not been cleaned or set and our order had still not been taken despite at least 3 Waitresses had walk past and cleaned other tables around us and placed Reserved notices on them. We left the Cafe at this point, i must say that in all my 59 years i have never had service (or lack of it) like this ever before, the whole situation was to say the least very embarrassing as we had told our Son how nice the place was. I will never ever recommemd this place to anyone, but i will tell everyone how appalling it is, which is a shame because i meet alot of Visitor's and Holiday makers and i am asked for recommendation's all the time. One last thing it is probably pretty pointless writing this as it seem's to me after looking at other reviews they can't even be bothed to reply.

We needed somewhere that is dog friendly so we can eat with Barney. The top deck of the bus was available with an excellent spot for us. I had the fish platter which was extremely enjoyable and filling, my wife had the ploughman’s lunch which was equally sufficient. Barney also enjoyed a gratis sausage. The price was reasonable and the service was pleasant and courteous.

My mum and I had taken a drive over here at about 1pm time for lunch and a drink after hearing how good it was. As I explained to the young girl on the till could we have lunch and a drink outside as there...
