Used to be a firm favourite as there's a playground and you can watch the small planes / helicopters taxiing and taking off. Great for kids. However, they've recently put their prices up a lot, to proper restaurant prices (Website prices are out of date, add about £3 on) Sadly the quality has remained at greasy spoon level and not increased to match. Also didn't give us part of our meals because they had run out, but didn't offer anything alternative, or money off, so we paid for things we never received. Barely an apology. Sadly probably will not be back. Maybe come for coffees and cake rather than proper lunch.

Awfully long time to get served. Not a happy attitude from the more mature lady working on Sunday too much to ask for just a glass of water told me to queue again but young girl got me a glass. Won't be using them again in a hurry :(

2 years ago I left a 5* review as I loved what wings had to offer. However after my visit Sunday I am likely to avoid returning. I love being near the working airfield and the children love to watch the planes and helicopters. However having been a paying customer for drinks ( food wasn’t possible as the kitchen had been shut down at 14:45.) I quite frankly didn’t expect to be shouted at that we had to leave at 15:45. The opening hours are published online to close at 4. Me and my friend were disgusted to be on the receiving end of this. We were absolutely planning to leave at 4 but we were still drinking our drinks that were purchased on site and the children were playing in the park. A very abrupt end and total disregard for customer service. I understand everybody wants to leave their job on time but I do not expect to be spoken to in the way I was.

The WORST breakfast I have been served. Tasteless overcooked sausage, cremated bacon, mummified hash browns and a barely cooked egg, which I wouldn't risk. Tried the hash brown, which was like biscuit, one mouthful of sausage and snapped off a bit of cremated bacon. It was so DISGUSTING I left the expensive'dogs breakfast' on the table and rode 45 miles to the Ace Cafe. There I got my usual tasty all day breakfast - cheaper and infinitely better. Wings Cafe I will not return and I will not recommend.

Nice cafe pn an active airfield. Food is good, there is an outdoor play area for children. Seating inside and out. Overlooks both air ambulance and police helicopter base, so you can sit and any activity. Parking on grass.

The quality of the food and drink is really good and much improved since the new owner took over. My only complaint is the queueing layout is confusing and the waiting time is a little too long. This biking venue is legendary so it's great to see it begin a new chapter, good luck!

Had coffee and kitkat , went in to the cafe for some water for the ride back , waited in the queue for my water bottle for 10 minutes and got told by a rude young lady,that I would have to wait until the other people behind me got served. I told her I am the next person in the line so she reluctantly filled my bottle for me,than a man from the kitchen came out from the kitchen to look at me as she had obviously said something to him whilst getting the water from the kitchen.I will not be going there again.

I had a toaste ha ad cheese sandwich it used to come with crisp and salad now only salad with oil over it .my stomach can't take oil so that was a no go. My daughter had a tuna sandwich. Thick butter hardly any tuna. Her salad was so soaked in oil it got into sandwich so she could only pick bits off sandwich. No wont go there again. Waste of money plus 1 tea and 1 latte nearly £19. Squadron cafe so much better not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Unfortunately this was our first and final visit. Although the staff seem friendly enough, for the price point (£23) for a wrap and Lasagne, the quality of food was bad. Chips uncooked in the middle and lasagne microwaved and burned around the edges and the garlic bread was so overcooked that it was inedible. Good atmosphere but that's all. Worth a visit if you aren't eating and a novel place to visit.

Takes a while to get served at the counter, even when there's only 3 people at the que ! Staff bringing food out are nice and friendly. Ordered some toast and marmalade (forgot my last experience), but it's never really toasted, and the bread comes out white with a faint tan, and I wasn't the only person. So, avoid the toast, but the meals are nice and every everyone is helpful and friendly

Fantastic place. I love it! It is sometimes very busy and one must be patient. It's a very unusual place with planes of all types from micro lights to jets and cars sharing the same road / taxiway. Helicopters coming and going. Car clubs a motorcycle clubs often arrive out of the blue on weekends. Definitely out of the ordinary.

OMG this is amazing place. Have lunch here quite a lot. Great food and staff. Very friendly and you can watch all the planes and helicopters take off. If you haven't been just go for something new and different. Trampoline, swings and climbing frame. Your children can play but beware there is a hole at the back of the fence where they could, if they are small get out and get onto the runway.

No frills cafe. Serves a selection of sandwiches, paninis etc. To find the cafe you have to enter the airfield by the control tower. There is a barrier. We drove past it a couple of times looking for it. The man gave us a map of the airfield and we loved being able to see all the aircrafts. There is x3 cafes to choose from once on the airfield. Wings cafe with seating inside and outside. No frills, x2 play parks, limited view of runway. Rosey Lea - loose leaf tea, China and up market, seating inside and out and a view of the runway. Red Bus Cafe- tale away only with seating outside, it's a bus turned into a cafe. Right Wings Cafe... Inside is nice lots of seating. No jacket spuds when we went. Panini was fine, reasonably priced, kids play area. Toilets were horrible and not clean but fine. Kids loved the play area and we enjoyed visiting. We had lunch here and then onto Rosey Lea for a cuppa and cake (wish we had lunch here instead). Highly recommend, charming and perfect for little ones.

Usually Wings cafe is a lovely place to bring kids to watch some smaller aircraft and play on the park. Unfortunately today the service and way that we were spoken to isn't something I would expect from my 4 and 8 year old. We ordered lunch as we have done lots of times and it seems that the kitchen has run out of standard size plates for chips and are bringing out 2 portions on one plate. This would have been fine but we had 2 parties on one table and the guy that brought them out forgot to mention this. When we asked for our chips as the other plates had been eaten by the other family. We were given two empty plates and was told that the chef had said we should pick up the chips from the other plates if we were hungry. I work in the hospitality industry and the way were spoken to was beyond a joke. Mistakes happen but its always how you deal with complaints that is main thing you remember. Communication is key!

Location is amazing good accessible areas for all children included. Food is ok when ordering check the extras with the sandwiches as we were meant to have tortillas chips when they came on the table we didn't get them. Staff told us they've run out lucky I've ordered chips for the children. High chairs available for children. If you order an English breakfast cup of tea you get one mug only not the tea pot. Staff didn't challenge a customer bringing their dog indoor next to the food. Thought it wasn't acceptable unless it was assistance dog. Overall worth being there if you are not fussy about small bits and bobs. Dont worry if your children won't finish their food staff are so kind they give a polystyrene container happy ride home
