Locke Lounge in Shropshire

We were recommended this cafe and we weren’t disappointed. My husband and I had the ‘Chocks Away’ full English and as the delivery guy hadn’t been yet we had home made hash browns which were fabulous, and the eggs were double yolkers. Our friends had scrambled eggs on toast and had mounds! Highly recommend this place and the view was great.

The breakfast, Not like it used to be.one sausage, over cooked, one piece of beacon, egg, hash brown, tomato not cooked, one mushroom ,spoon full of beans and one toast. Generally I could do better at home. Over priced two breakfast cup of tea and coffee £18.00. I wont be coming again.

I used to visit the cafe regularly prior to COVID. This week was my first time returning and I found it under new management. It was immediately clear that the new staff were attempting to make it something it is not. Prices are far higher than they should be. £9.50 for a breakfast and a coffee. I have no problem paying those prices for a good breakfast at the right premises but this was neither. The breakfast was average at best served on a plastic plate to be eaten with disposable knives and forks (COVID restrictions considered I still think this is a disappointing addition) The cheap coffee served in a disposable cardboard cup was hardly even worthy of the name. I feel that if you plan to charge prices that high you need to provide a far higher standard of food and customer service. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

I visited to see what the new cafe management had to offer for breakfast, and I will be back! A very warm welcome, followed by a fabulous sausage and bacon sandwich on soft fresh tiger bread, and a great cup of tea. Thank you, I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Very disappointed. Very poor quality food, coffee was awful. My partner and i will not eat there again.

Mushrooms, tinned tomatoes and baked beans all luke warm Sausage was basic We ate our breakfasts and didn’t complain as we will not be returning to this cafe We tried it based on other reviews as we live locally but were disappointed

Varied selection of freshly prepared food at Sleap Airfield. Small seating area that is always full at a weekend so a weekday visit is more likely to avail a seat. Steep staircase to it, so not suitable for people with mobility issues unless someone able bodied can order and you can eat on an outside bench seat. The food is delicious but you need to allow plenty of time to get it. Good view of the small active airfield operations.

I visit here on a regular basis as my son is having flying lessons at the attached Shropshire Aero Club , the cafe is based in the old control tower with great views over the runway , it is usually busy especially at weekends when lots of cyclists and bikers use it as a stop off . The food is basic but very good , the breakfasts are wonderfull huge and filling . They have various events throughout the year including Vintage car rallies , aircraft stunt shows and vintage light aircraft rallies . It is a very good place to eat and if you like aircraft its brilliant . Only downside access is up narrow and steep stairs so not great for the less mobile.

Visited as a family and enjoyed a very well cooked all day breakfast. Great value. Smaller version available and a vegetarian option too. Very varied menu served in a clean cafe, good service with great views of the runway watching the light aircraft take off and land. Would recommend and will return.

Called in for breakfast as we hadn't been before. Really well cooked and good quality also had a pudding which was also excellent.

Well off the beaten track but the place was really busy, which shows its worth a visit. Good portions of tasty food and cheap too.

Outstanding place to eat and watch the comings and goings at the airfield warm welcome from all the staff and members alike already looking forward to going back before the new year

Recommend that you book a table, deservedly the Locke Lounge gets very busy. We enjoyed a wonderful beef Sunday Dinner, the beef just melt in your mouth, just £7.99 for a delicious meal. Nice watching planes land / take off.....

Beans on toast, cake and a brew; whilst watching planes take off, fly by and land. Truly unique eating experience.

Sleap Aerodrome is well off the main road but we detoured and went for lunch. The Locke Lounge is in the WW2 control tower block, and as with many of these places its age shows. However, look at it with its history in mind and it takes on a new and interesting ambience. Food and drinks offered are well priced and our lunches were fine with the sole exception that the soup was a little bland. However, taking you tea and coffee (in proper mugs) outside onto the veranda to watch the planes makes this a very worthwhile stop. We stayed for over two hours and we will be back soon. Nearby is the Wartime Aircraft Recovery Group's museum, open at weekends and well worth a visit.

Seis de nosotros asistimos hoy aquí, reservamos con antelación ya que se puede llenar ... tuvimos almuerzo de domingo, era un gran platos y bien vale la pena £7-99 . Los pensionistas versión no es mucho más pequeña y cuesta £4-99 .

Enjoyed the food here, had a panini, it arrived quickly, nice and hot and came with a dressed side salad. The menu was very good, sandwiches, breakfasts, roast dinner & deserts. Relaxed atmosphere, pleasant watching the planes, good place to take kids

Place could do with a refurb but other than that it has friendly and helpful staff , views are amazing while enjoying a cuppa. I'm sure the food is good too as it was quite busy when we went.

lovely open views from high up. place needs a little face lift. not much selection on the menu but food is nice ( I had beans on toast). staff and service good

Good cross section of snacks, full meals and drinks. Food is freshly made, and arrives promptly. All the normal favourites and great breakfasts.
