Sunday lunch at the Sywell Aviator (the old bit, not the new Mess) is rather good. So is the pud 🙂

The re-vamped Little Chef next to Popham could be worth a try:

Fenland and Netherthorpe both put on decent lunch menus.
Compton Abbas is another good bet – recently re-furbished.

I can fully recommend Sywell’s Pilots Mess, although recently it, and the airfield have not been open due to the heavy rain/snow etc, which has waterlogged the runways and manoeuvring areas.
Once the weather improves, definitely one to put on your list.
Can also recommend the food and ambience at WLAC, White Waltham.

I have heard good reports, though not been, to The Aviator at Sywell.
AV8 at Kemble is variable over times, it has been exceptional and then had periods when it has not been so good. But the surroundings are much better than average.
