Rosey Lea The Squadron in Cotswold

Hubby had a flight experience booked at the air field so we went to cafe to watch him. I had a tea and toast and water after a very long wait. to served. Got home to a message to say we hadnt paid our bill. Now they had no idea who we were as no names were given so we were just customers, the place was packed so not sure how we got accused. I rang and said I had proof of payment and the reply was just literally oh ok.... no apology nothing, you dont accuse people of theft then brush it under the carpet. The only reason you got our phone number was because Aero Legends had it. Disgusting.

Very busy even on a Monday, but the waiting staff appear not to concentrate. I had a huge fruit scone but was only offered one pre wrapped piece of butter. Tea comes with a strainer, so I asked for the normally delivered dish to put the strainer in to avoid messing up the table. In the end, I had to go to ask again as the waitress had forgotten. These small niggly things are a shame as the venue could be so much better. Although I didn’t have cooked today, I noticed that if you want brown sauce with your meal, they charge 65p extra… yes, just for brown sauce. That to me is a rip off!

Location still great but front of house staff were under considerable pressure. First told 10-15 mins wait for table. Then, after 20 mins told it would 40 mins before an order could be taken! If there are staff shortages be up front about but to be kept waiting with little interaction is not the best way to treat clients. On that basis did not get any snacks & went elsewhere & spent money

Flew in a private aircraft to the airfield & very pleasantly surprised by the new bistro in the iconic Squadron building. Yes it was busy so had a short wait but service friendly & efficient. Brunch breakfast was very tasty and one of our group very impressed at having his tea in a china teapot & cup & saucer! Decent value too. Well done.

My car group meet here for breakfast now and again .Its a great location .Really friendly staff and great food too . Well recommended
