Found out yesterday that The Phoenix, a lovely pub between Hartley Wintney and Hook, does superb Sunday lunches. It will be a five minute cab ride from Blackbushe.

Crown and Cushion at Hawley too.

Thought you had stopped doing atc? Would be great come and see you some day from Norfolk!

So did I! They wheel me out and dust me off when things get desperate....

[morticiaskeeper]

Things were desperate, you were talking to me!

[G-BLEW]

What was the food like?

like the lanyarded Forumite meeting 2Ds at the Aviator for lunch today (very nice RV6 from Old Buck ), you can all come to JAM first, too (or after) I'll be 'on' in the morning there again.

To be fair the 'food' at JAM was exceptionally good.





I can heartily recommend a visit to JAM. It is fascinating, and of exceptional interest for anyone aviation minded. I spent 90 minutes there and it was nothing like enough. The ability to taxi up to the museum and park outside is unique, far classier than Duxford.

Actually, On reflection, not unique. East Kirkby offers similar proximity.

The 'adequate' was mine.

It was a robust, pub grub style Sunday lunch in a venue that probably wasn't totally geared up for the first rush of the warm weather after a quiet winter. There was nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either and there were notable service issues.

But, we thoroughly enjoyed the day, your suggestion worked brilliantly well, and it was lovely to put yet another face to a forum name. (Actually two when I include Kanga)

My last Sunday roast there was excellent, but then I would say that!

Why, did you cook it?

Crown and Cushion at Hawley too.

Meh, so-so.

We went to the Beach Shack, Sandown. The seafood (as always) was superb, as was the glorious wx.

Sandown was like a mini Heathrow yesterday with arrivals every few minutes.

Meh, so-so.

<Drift> I was slightly startled to find that ' meh' was the necessary answer to a clue in one of the more challenging cryptic crosswords over the weekend </drift>

I would agree with RobP's observations on the Aviator. They gave the impression of having been profoundly surprised by the number of people who turned up for lunch on a sunny Sunday. The service fell apart a bit (orders missed or out a widely varying times), but the food was perfectly OK pub grub.

The search for the best Sunday Lunch at or near an airfield continues...

Any thoughts on the Propeller Inn at Bembridge? Flew there for the first time on Saturday and had a drink in the pub but was thinking it would be nice to return for a bite to eat.

I believe Dunkeswell are still doing their carvery on a Sunday?
