Wellesbourne Airfield
Café
If you fancy having breakfast in an unusual location, try
the Touchdown Café at Wellesbourne Airfield on Loxley Lane.
Located just outside Wellesbourne, going towards Stratford, the
café offers a good value breakfast with thick slices of bacon, cooked to order,
and served on a decked terrace beside the airfield’s runway where you can enjoy
your breakfast while watching the small civil aircraft take-off and land.
Helicopters hover at the far end of the field and at the other is a Vulcan
bomber.
The café has a distinct aviation theme with flight maps
under the glass tops of the tables and models planes suspended from the
ceiling. Alongside a framed collection of cigarette cards depicting planes from
the past, the noticeboard advertises headsets for sale and opportunities to
‘share an aircraft’ or organise a flight to Egypt.
If the breakfast is not your cup of tea, the rest of the
menu is also good value and tea and coffee are reasonably priced.
It is great to be able to watch the small planes up close
but it does get busy. It is popular with bikers and families who come to see
the planes, as well as the occasional pilot or passenger who has just flown in.
