Best KPortal Reviews

Visited today with my 4 Sons. Staff were lovely, service was great and food was delicious.
Gorgeous sandwiches with side salad and good choice of food. Really lovely atmosphere and beautiful buildings and interiors. Will definitely visit again.
Very nice cafe, food was delicious too! Good size portions and freshly made to order. Nice to be able to watch the planes and motorbikes and have a walk round.
Was waiting for my partner to take a flight at Sywell. The Pilots Mess was a really good place to wait. A good cup of tea and has a viewing platform to watch the planes. Staff were very friendly. We did not have any food so cannot rate it but it all looked nice
Stopped here for breakfast and it’s a fantastic place! The furnishings and fittings are top notch and all aviation themed! The wood panelling was beautiful with a stunning officers mess too!
The biggest problem was that the chef had disappeared and nobody knew where he was!
The couple already seated said he had a phone call then took off and they’d already been waiting 1/2hr.
I tried to find a someone but nobody knew where he would be. A delivery was coming in but he wasn’t there either!
We waited a 1/2hr ourselves because it’s such a lovely place with great views but still nobody came :(
Have saved the location for later so we might call another time if we’re back in the area.
I visited here not too long ago with my classmates. It was a very pleasant afternoon. The interior was welcoming, as were the staff. Whilst the outside housed a fountain, a beautiful stretch of runway and several planes, which I took pictures of around the hangar.
I definitely recommend checking out Sywell Aerodrome and The Pilots Mess, if you ever intend to visit Sywell. (Alongside its Country Park, of course.)
Relatively standard cafe, but the view of the airfield was fab!
Brill for kids (or adults!) to watch the aircraft take off and land.
The balcony is also a great viewing spot.
My little one had a brilliant time.
Nice cafe located on the first floor, with outside seating on the balcony, with good views of the airfield. Had a hearty breakfast here after flying in ????
Nothing fancy, but food and prices are good.
