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.

Lovely little cafe, with a super play area for the littuns, with swings, climbing bits and trampolines. Food is good price and tasty with lots of eating area outside and inside. Added bonus of lots of exciting planes buzzing by, taking off, etc to keep the kids and big kids entertained

Absolutely fantastic place. Get more than your money's worth as food is superb and views is brilliant for any plane lovers. No other place let's you eat 25 metres from HEMS taking off!!
Cool place. Nice playground and you get to see all the aircraft taking off. They were understaffed when we were there but staff were nice and friendly.
Can't comment on the food really, as I only had pork scratchings.

Airport/industrial/family/workers cafe. All good as expected. Well prepped and tasty. Great outdoors space. Plenty of cool helicopters, planes and cars in and out all day.

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.

Great little place I've never been to before. Nice fry up after a motorbike ride to fill me up before heading back. Bit of a wait but that's due to how popular it seems to be. Slightly pricey for the kind of food it is but it's not a big deal.

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.

Visited here as we'd heard of it and very glad we did. Our 17mth old boy loved it. As we arrived a helicopter was just landing, prob only 200 yds from us then numerous planes taxi 'd past. The Essex Air Ambulance is next door and that happened to take off too. The children's play area is great, although not for a non-walking 17mth old....and oh yeah the coffee and cake we had was nice too, we will return.
