Somewhere in Cambridge overlooking the river perhaps - there's a few nice pubs / restaurants around...

Lee on Solent. Ten minute walk from the airfield main gate towards the seafront (a further five min walk)

Shobdon (food can vary a bit).

[Johnyev]

In any direction other than through atlas!
If the weather is the same as yesterday go look at Snowdon , clear as a bell!
Shobdon do a lovely ham egg and chips but guess that's a greased spoon.
What about the Swan in Ewen near Kemble , need a taxi but it's good food.
Should be an easy question to answer but it's not!

Somewhere near the olympics--london city-- for a nice healthy Macdonalds washed down with a coca cola.

The new cafe on the seafront at Bembridge, see the "shameless plug" thread, it's a great location. 25 minutes pleasant walk from the aerodrome or 5 mins taxi. It's 50 metres from the Crab and Lobster, down the steps behind the pub. Take the mobile number for the cafe owner though. They serve full meals.

Dunkeswell or the pub <10 mins walk round the corner and down the hill from Dunkeswell.

Great Massingham, Norfolk. Private, unmanned ex RAF base with plenty of tarmac, honesty box for landing fee, then a 1000 yard walk through the village, past the ponds and church to The Dabbling Duck pub/restaurant. A superb experience.

Sturgate , walk down to the Rose & Crown , for a good Sunday Carvery . Ask , when booking in & someone will take you down , if you prefer .

Jon,
The Bun Penny looks very good at Lee on Solent. I will give it a visit next time I go.

I know I say this rather too often, but The Apron at Gamston is hard to beat for nicely prepared food in a smart environment. Prob a good idea to book for a Sunday lunch though.

Just back.

That was a top tip; the airfield is pukka. Well maintained Runway (I only tried 04/22). Parking up near the hangar and dosh duly paid in the little cabin.

Short walk (well the tinkywinkies thought it was miles but is only 15 mins even with them in tow!)

Dabbling Duck; loads of atmosphere; great menu; friendly service and tasty food - think gastro pub; they were not super busy but still quite slow; no problem for us as we had all the time in the world but you may bear that in mind if you are in a hurry'sh.
