Popped in here for hot chocolate & cookie whilst mum & son were having a flight experience in a Cessna. I could see other small aircraft taking off through the cafe window (including a spitfire) but you can also sit/stand outside to view too). Tables outside but full on this day. Busy as was Sunday a.m. & lots of people having English breakfast. I did not eat this time but I glanced across the menu & spotted panini, ham/egg/chips & scones/cream amongst other things. You can visit here even if you are not attending an 'experience'. Well behaved dogs appear welcome. Will return maybe on a weekday, it might be less busy, but that's obviously personal choice.

Perfect for any aviation enthusiast. Where else in the world can you watch a Spitfire land while sipping on an espresso? Polite wait staff. Excellent food and coffee. As someone who doesn't know the area well, it is a bit trucky to find due to lack of obvious signage. Worth finding though. Shame the receptiinist at the school next door is so stuck up....

Excellent! Was greeted on arrival by a young man on reception who pointed us in the direction of the cafe. We had 2 dogs with us which straight away were made a fuss of. They were given a biscuit and a huge bowl of water. As soon as we sat down we were asked what we would like. We ordered drinks and a full breakfast each. A fantastic well presented full English was served! The service throughout was spot on with plenty of polite staff to hand. Plenty of entertainment on the air field. Would definitely go again

Very extensive menu, tasty and generous portions. Pretty good value. Very professional and friendly staff . Above the usual airport standards.Go there often … better each time

I enjoyed my first time coming here for a meal and watching the small planes as came and went. The staff were friendly and the tables were cleaned after each use. Been passed here many times over the years but never really came in until today. It's not massively expensive and I didn't really have to wait since it wasn't busy.

Popped in this afternoon on the way through and had a lovely sandwich and watched the planes. My son enjoyed it here too. Free parking. We were warmly welcomed on arrival, the waitress explained we could sit anywhere and that it was table service. They do have a kids menu but not printed. They did sandwiches jam, ham, tuna, cheese, and pombears. My husband and I have a sandwich and baguette, which was delicious but not cheap. 2.90 for a mug of tea... must be the most we have ever paid for a mug. I wanted a pot for these prices! Lol. After we ordered, we were asked to pay. I'm not sure it's done like this? We were told the amount and no breakdown. You're missing out on potential tips. Why not asked would you like to settle the bill now or after? Come on, the manager needs to address this. We wanted more drinks and cake so had to go in and ask someone to serve us and pay again. Not a big drama. Lots of aircraft movement happening along with the mini cars zooming around in the distance too. Perfectly clean toilets and stunning setting. Lots of kids and adults alike enjoying the planes and a great atmosphere. The seating area outside and in is lovely. It's probably the nicest airfield cafe we have been to (we've done a few now).

Wow.. another lovely trip to the south downs and this time a trip to glorious Goodwood. This beautiful place does not disappoint. Beautiful surroundings,an absolute amazing contempory cafe and flight school where you can eat in or out with stunning food that was delicious. Wander outside and take in the airfield and race track. You will not be disappointed as there is always something going on. Will be going back for sure.

Fantastic place for a meal or a coffee, where else can you sit back a relax and drink a coffee watching a spitfire take off and land. Food is great and the staff are amazing. Highly recommended for your next Pitstop at Goodwood.
