Lovely little cafe with seating area over looking the run way. My sons enjoyed lunch from the cafe while watching planes & helicopters take off. The seating area is fenced off for safety reasons. Toilets on site and plenty of free parking. Only down side was there was only one of each toilet and we had to queue.
Food is pricey but fresh (£4.95 for a toastie).
Will definitely return.

Best thing about it was all the light aeroplanes and helicopters landing and taking off. Food was brilliant, not many tables inside but a lot outside, as most people are watching the aeroplanes 😀

Fab place to visit . Staff are friendly & helpful. Great choice of food options, especially the vegan choices - even my dog got a sausage to eat. Watching the planes is an added bonus.

Great activity for our 1 year old daughter: she loved watching the planes/helicopters and Mummy and Daddy could have a nice breakfast as well! Very good value for money 🤩
Katy Baldwin
Great place for children as they can watch the planes taking off and landing on the runway.
There is a gated garden area specifically for children with regular sized and small picnic tables.
The cafe and facilities are a little limited and staff were friendly enough.

Lovely place to go with family or on your own. The cafe garden is next to the airfield so you get to see the planes take off and land. The cafe staff are brilliant, the food is amazing, the coffee is great, all round a fantastic atmosphere, highly recommend if you need something to do over the weekend.
Philip Noble
A warm welcome, great cakes, a good mug of tea, very dog friendly and great view of the light aircraft zipping around. Unpretentious, honest sort of place. We'll be back soon to try the lunches.

Used to visit here at least once a week pre-pandemic days but haven't been since, until today. Was made to feel extremely welcome. Menu has changed but still all freshly made meals, including lots of toasties, jacket potatoes, burgers etc. Also lots of choice of drinks and homemade fresh cakes!! Breakfast is served until 12pm and then lunch until 2.30pm. Cakes are available throughout. The children have a separate area now, enclosed but still overlooking the runway. A fair amount of general seating indoors and out, definitely more would be needed for a busy sunny day. Great place to sit and watch the private aircraft and helicopter manoeuvres. I like that there is lots of parking including disabled spaces. Word of warning, as its quite open on a sunny day sunscreen is definitely required, I've previously learnt the hard way!
Gavin Hatton
Fabulous little cafe. Quick service, food piping hot and just as we asked. Took 2 young children (5 and 2) to watch the planes, they were fascinated to be so close to the taxi/plan parking area.
Will definitely visit again.

First time we have been to Chocks Away as we were in the area. Nice place to have a drink and bite to eat whilst watching the helicopter and light aeroplanes taking off and landing.
James Stickley
A really lovely cafe right next to the runway of an airfield for light aircraft. Great to watch planes and helicopters and has a great selection of vegan and non vegan food. No frills but who needs them anyway :)
Mick Barnes
I had a lovely breakfast, with quality ingredients & my wife said her toasty was very nice. The coffees were good too.
Nice place to sit +outside if you wish) to watch the planes & helicopters coming & going.
Sadly the place was let down a touch by the tables that hadn't been wiped very well & the toilets. I think the toilets are shared with other building users but they're not the best.

Quirky little cafe with a difference. Watch the aeroplanes and helicopters while you eat. Outside tables for a sunny day with a separate enclosed area for children.

Amazing visit last Sunday. Great vegan menu and quick helpful response from the owner about allergies. All of us loved our breakfasts, staff were super friendly and the little kids area was brill. Thanks!

Family, child and baby friendly! Lovely staff and fabulous irresistible cakes! Even Gluten free ones! Great food and coffee!
We have been visiting here for three years. It’s one of our favourite go to places, especially on a bright rain free day! A great place to meet other parents!
The police helicopter landed on one visit, and invited the kids to take a look inside!
I tell so many mums and dads about this little gem! A great place for a chilled day watching the light aircraft.
Don’t forget your sun lotion in the summer! It’s a sun trap! Enjoy!�

I visited today, and we didn't get off to a great start! I couldn't fit my side by side double buggy through any doors!! I had to leave it outside, whilst I went in to enquire about any other access routes. The only thing we could do was lift the buggy over a small fence, over wet grass and up 2 stairs, and leave it below a window (in the drizzly rain) so I could keep an eye! My twin boys were asleep so taking them out to collapse the buggy was not an option. My buggy was a britax b agile, so not the narrowest, but the doors were really narrow.
Once in, the service was friendly, food looked good, just a shame we didn't see a single plane!!
Gill Wright
We'd been recommended to visit you and were not disappointed! Big yellow helicopter taking off, gyrocopter taking off and landing, loads of little planes, pilots with uniforms, refuelling stops ..... and a very enjoyable child-friendly lunch too. Thank you to the young, smiling and extremely hard-working cafe staff. :-)
Joanna Cowell
A real hidden gem of a cafe. Stunning views of the surrounding countryside with planes and helicopters taking off just outside the door, along with lovely food, great coffee and amazing cakes.
Louise Hailes
This is a lovely place, lovely food, friendly staff and the enjoyment of watching the planes too.
Charlotte Laura
Took an hour and a half for food to arrive - just not acceptable when you have a small child with you. Child very tired and hungry and cross by the time it arrived. Food itself was good. Won't be coming here again.

My first visit here today (and certainly not my last) excellent service, friendly staff and the best home cooked breakfast I have had for a very long time. Thanks ladies ��
Samantha Blow
Popped in this afternoon for a bite to eat and to watch the planes. Lovely staff. Great value for money. Watching the planes and helicopter come and go was lovely for the kids to see. Will definitely be back asap �
Tracey Shilcock
Been here loads of times, my little boy, 2½ loves it! Food is great, service & staff are great, aeroplanes and helicopters are great, play area great, outside area great! Can't wait for summer so we can sit outside again! Great little gem! Highly recommended! ����������
Gary Goldsmith
Cracking place, brilliant staff, fantastic food, superb atmosphere, and a hot chocolate to die for....
Suzanne Lawrence Wright
Popped in for a quick lunch today, which was as good as ever - something for everyone, value for money and friendly service. To top it off the Air Ambulance dropped in and gave us a tour! Looking forward to our next visit already.
