Jimmy's Cafe in Breckland

Now the Liberator Restaurant. Coped with 25 bikers in a friendly way. Great venue for a rideout. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Could have sat there all day watching the planes. Plenty of bike parking. Will the breakfasts win a prize for best or biggest. No but the food was perfectly nice and the over all experience made for one of favourite destinations. Thankyou for making us all so welcome. A nice sausage added to the breakfast would be awesome 😁

Sadly Jimmy's Cafe is no longer operating at Old Buckenham Airfield.....The Jimmys Cafe experience with Great home made food was exceptional, Tricia you will be missed....Thank You for Everything, it just won't be the same. It's replacement, new name, new menu etc., is disappointing.....reduced options, no vegan or vegetarian dishes, small portions and increased prices (with increased cost of Living it's madness).....worst of all, a Cafe that has now removed 'Full English Breakfast' entirely. From now on we will go to places in the Country Park & Attleborough.....will miss Jimmy's & the planes.

Had a really good lunch with friends at Jimmy's, always a good visit when the weather is fine to also watch the planes and visit the museum there. Since moving to Norfolk I discovered Jimmy's Cafe over 4 years ago now.... the food is Great and the service is superb & friendly......The owner Trish cooks lovely hot meals and as a vegetarian, she is always willing to create something that's not on the standard menu or vary a dish . My friends had Sunday Dinner with all the trimmings, topped off with treacle pudding & hot fudge brownies ....all with custard, while I had a Vegetarian Breakfast and jam roly poly with custard. Good Hearty home made food with proper size portions......Yummy !

We have just been to Jimmys cafe for breakfast, 3 of us, and I have to say it was the worst breakfast we have had anywhere. The tables were sticky with hairs, which I could if coped with if the breakfast was nice, but it was terrible. The beans were cheap and cold, all our fried eggs were hard, the sausage was poor quality, the mushrooms were watery, the toast was cold, I didn’t even attempt the tomato. At £9.50 for a breakfast I was very dissatisfied. Nobody even come to ask us if everything was ok, they stayed in the kitchen.

Been wanting to come here for a while. It was really good - if not a bit rough and ready. Lady taking orders was also cooking until help arrived. . She works to hard . She was very helpful and welcoming. We had breakfast which was really good. Outdoor seating too. We chose to sit inside and watch small aircraft taking off and landing. A unique place with interesting history

We went as a family, 4 adults, for breakfast. The food was fine but the lady behind the counter was abrupt and somewhat unfriendly. Not a huge issue but she surpassed herself when she cleared the table whole my wife was still eating. She then hovvered waiting for the final plate/mug. Shame as for this reason we wouldn't return or recommend to our holiday cottage guests.

What a find! Terrific cooked breakfasts available until 1145, then really good hot lunches. All in a WW2 mini-museum remembering Jimmy Stewart's time there. Old Buckenham remains an active airfield and there's usually planes moving so the pub-style benches outside are popular places to eat.

Really nice airfield cafe with great coffee and really good food. Very good prices and customer service. Well worth a visit after the museum!

Visited today after watching my sister complete a local 10k. The setting is lovely, the food delicious and cooked fresh to order. The service was excellent and we were able to reserve a table. The price is very good. For 3 lunches , a cold drink and a pot of tea for two was just over £20. If we had saved our appetite the Roast Beef lunch looked delicious and at £7.95 very reasonable. You can sit inside and out and watch the light aircraft taking off and landing at the airfield. Also a museum about the airfield and its uniqueness and the purpose it served along with the famous James Stewart being based there in the USAF. Will definitely be returning. 🙂🙂🙂

I flew into Old Buckenham Airfield from Southend Airport for a snack lunch at the excellent Jimmy`s, named after the American actor James Stewart who was Operations Officer of the 453rd USAAF Bomber Group. Fellow American actor Walther Mattau also served at Old Buck. The café is only open from Thursday to Sunday, serving the popular All Day Breakfast, baguettes, sandwiches, burgers and jackets potatoes. Also popular with non-flying guests.

We had a lovely breakfast at Jimmy's with views of the runway. The staff are really friendly and the food is really good. There is a really good airshow during summer too.

After moving to the area from Kent 5mths ago we were delighted to find this gem. My husband, our dog Lenny and I look forward to a tasty breakfast after our dog walk at the weekends, whilst watching the planes taking off and landing. The staff are so friendly and Jim is full of interesting stories about his outstanding historic memorabilia. Thank you all for making it a great place to visit.

Jimmy's is sited on the airfield at Old Buckenham and is open from Thursday to Sunday. Weather permitting, you can sit outside and watch the light aircraft taking off and landing. The cafe serves a good range of reasonably priced well cooked food and the cakes are very good. The airfield has a small museum for those interested in all things aviation. Definitely worth visiting.

After an 0500 meet for a (fantastic) balloon flight, we returned to the airfield after 0900 and pretty hungry. Delighted, we were, to see the cafe open and the full breakfast on the menu. Well frankly, it was a perfect end to the day and all before 1100!! Friendly, helpful staff, efficient, well priced and freshly cooked - perfect. Tea or coffee included in the price. We were set to go to a Little Chef until we saw the cafe open- can't tell you how glad we were that it was. What a great little cafe. Thoroughly recommend it.

Visited with a friend, and we had cheese burger. It was cooked fresh for us, and really nice. I would highly recommend!

We have visited several times for breakfast after being so well looked after by the staff when we used the airfield as a base for the weekend at an event organised by a friend last year. Full English is always lovely, a good range of homemade cakes on display and plentiful tea. Staff are friendly and accomodating and the place is clean and pleasant. The cafe is much improved under the current owners. Nice to while away an hour watching the planes take off and the museum on site is well worth a look.

Very friendly and good value for money food. No complaints with our various orders for lunch. All very tasty. Was quite busy for a cold weekend, nice to see well supported. Would use again if in area. Dog friendly.

Very friendly and welcoming.nice informal setting Only had a cup of tea and cakes but dinners looked well prepared and value for money .

A great, friendly cafe at Old Buck aerodrome. Newly refurbished and in by great staff, this is one of the best aerodrome cafes in that UK. Good food at reasonable prices. Visit the on-site USAF museum while you are there.

Good food. Excellent lunch venue, especially if you are an aviation fan.Also visit WW2 museum nearby on airfield.Lots of memorabilia. And James Stewart flew from here in WW2.

Lovely breakfast here this morning. The full English was delicious and very filling. Staff was pleasent. Toilets were lovely and clean. Lovely place for food and to be able to watch the planes.

I called in on a Sunday morning. The service was quick and friendly, the food and coffee good. The cafe is always clean and tidy and, as it was a sunny day, we saw quite a bit of flying. A very enjoyable visit.

Great value only had drinks but the food looked lovely. Homemade cake looked amazing. Loads to look at on the walls and toilets nice and clean

Llegamos un poco temprano para mi cumpleaños en Sim volar, así que fuimos a Jimmy's Cafe para comida y bebida. El menú tenía una variedad de opciones, desde el desayuno hasta hamburguesas.

Café amable en airfield antiguo buckingham lugar para volar en o llegar por carretera Cafe jueves abierto domingos y festivos buenos desayunos y un menú variado con especialidades del día

Jimmy's es algo diferente! Es un restaurante acogedor café en aeródromo old buckenham donde puede ser servida la comida y bebida dentro o fuera con una impresionante vista de la pista. Es un pequeño aeródromo civil ocupado, así que hay un montón de diferentes tipos...

Un Salto a aeródromos para el almuerzo rápido. Buena comida básica pero bien preparada, buena vista desayuno durante todo el día y de la aviación. Volveremos a ver el Museo en un lugar más cálido día.

Sólo teníamos que visitar ya que este es el aire de la película que starv basev Jimmy Stewart voló durante la segunda guerra mundial tuvimos una buena investigar en los vehículos y la cabaña museo

Set at an airfield where james stewart served in the second world war the setting is historically interesting and pretty unique.Food is good and honest and of good value with plenty going on of interest when your eating with pilots popping in for refreshments.Thoroughly reccomended.

We joined a party of friends who were meeting to watch one of the group take a plane ride as part of a special birthday celebration. Unfortunately due to adverse wind conditions, the flight was cancelled... however we all decided to stay for lunch and make a day of it anyway. Most of us had the all-day breakfast which was fantastic value, very well cooked and served with a smile! We later enjoyed looking around the Museum which is full of interesting WW2 USAF memorabilia. Our friend has rebooked his flight for a few weeks time, and we're all looking forward to coming back! Thank you.

We popped in here for a bacon roll and cuppa whilst at The Old Buckenham Air Show. They were rushed off their feet but coped very well! We will certainly return when it is open between a Thursday and Sunday to appreciate it more!

Having been over at Sim-fly for our session on the flight simulator we went over to Jimmys Cafe . Good clean cafe serving a simple but comprehensive menu. On this visit we only had coffee and cake but have every intention of returning in September with our local Lions group.

We came across Jimmy's after taking a wrong turning and decided to have a look. We weren't sorry because we were greeted by a very nice lady and enjoyed a pot of tea looking out over the airfield.The place has recently been refurbished and is lovely and clean with interesting items to look at on the walls. Will certainly return.

Flew in and the cafe was bustling, service was quick and food was great. We both went for all day breakfast which was very tasty. Cafe had been recently renovated and was very comfortable and clean with good view out onto the airfield.

I have been here several times for a coffee or a snack. The food is very good quality and all home cooked freshly to order. This is a really nice small friendly airfield where you can while away an hour or two chatting to both local and visiting pilots whilst watching planes taking off & landing. What makes it is that strangers actually talk to each other here, which is so refreshing these days. Check opening times though as cafe is usually open Thurs to Sun. Well worth a visit, especially on a sunny day.

Being located in the aero club HQ at Old Buckenham airfield makes Jimmys cafe an interesting and somewhat unusual venue. It is named after the American actor Jimmy Stewart who was Group Operations Officer at the base in 1944.As it was a beautiful sunny morning we took the opportunity to sit outside with a coffee looking out onto the airfield. Unfortunately being a Thursday there were no air movements. The upside being it was extremely peaceful.Not fine dining but the meals were wholesome and good value. Used by the pilots and mechanics adds authenticity to the experience. Aviation exhibits and the history of the airfield when the USAAF 453rd Bomb Group were based here in the war flying B-24 Liberators also adds value. A few pieces of military hardware adorn the site.A little off the beaten track but well worth a small detour. The main cafe is only open Thurs - Sun.

We have taken a selection of grand children to visit the airfield and all have thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic to be so close to the planes as they come and go. Feels like a lovely, low tech, old fashioned family outing, a rare find. Cafe has good selection of reasonably priced food and snacks.

Jimmys is the cafe that serves Old Buckenham airfield. The service is real friendly, the food is all home cooked, and you have views out to the runway so can see planes coming in and out ( only light aircraft and Fri - Sun is most popular with the local pilots)A bit out the way but worth the detour. Suggest you check opening times before travelling

Passing and saw a sign saying Airfield cafe, open to all. Decides to take a look and spent all afternoon there. Great food including Gluten free options. well behaved Dogs on leads also welcome (treats also provided for them) Free WiFiWhat a great spotWe will be back

We managed to get lost and saw a plane landing so investigated. We found this lovely little airfield called Old Buckenham with pictures of Jimmy Stewart on the drive. These were for a small but very friendly cafe named after him. Service was fast and friendly. Decent menu with several specials; I had a lovely pork loin and the other half a great burger. Haven't been many other places where you can have a great lunch whilst a load of planes are taking off, landing and parking right outside the window.

Visited for a quick burger and chips ahead of visiting a company on the site. Burger in a soggy wet bun, fatty and bland, stuffed with salad as a disguise, no chips, no sides, just a lonely burger on a plate. Cheapish at £3.50 but a Big Mac with chips and less fat is £3.95.Sloooooow service, scruffy staff who were obsessed with talking about charging their mobile phones. Seems to be a franchise using James Stewarts likeness but the Stewart foundation in the USA know nothing about it. Met the airfield owner who came out with the worst tirade of abuse at us after we'd finished the meal and paid. Very very weird and scary place. Paid by card but this involved paying the airfield manager who had to hold the card machine up in the air as it was a mobile based device with no signal.Wires crumbed down with her bare hands just sweeping it not the floor. Nice.Avoid unless you are starving and have cash / prepared total a bit of abuse with your meal.

Newly reopened in September 2013, is this small café located on a small airfield in the middle of Norfolk. Suggest ring for opening times as they are likely to extend as popularity increases. Perfect for breakfast and lunches whilst watching aircraft taking off just feet away.Good luck to the new owners.
