Old Sarum Flying Club

Over the weekend we went for a lovely walk over to Old Sarum Flying Club. I estimate the walk is about 2 miles there and 2 miles back from Laverstock. We only have to cross one main road and the rest of the way is all along public byways through the countryside.
On a Sunday there are plenty of aircraft landing and taking off, and if the weather is clear you can see some great countryside, across to the Laverstock Downs.
The cafe is very spacious with easy access for push chairs. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. I prefer sitting outside as you are really close to the planes.
The menu ranges from main courses, sandwiches both hot and cold, snacks and cakes, everything is homemade. I have sampled a tuna baguette, caramel apple pie, rice crispy cake and Maltesers cake. Not in one visit, I have been to the cafe a number of times.
Oh I forgot to mention, they do have a licensed bar! Perfect for a Sunday beer in the sunshine.
The staff are very friendly, although sometimes very stressed due to the volume of customers. But they will still warm baby food and bring it out to you if you are sat outside.
High chairs are available and you can take them outside. There isn't a designated baby changing area which does let this cafe down in my scoring. But how many babies actually go flying?


Overall I give Old Sarum Flying Club 3* out of a possible 5

Access: Access in and around the cafe is reasonable.
Welcome: You are made welcome and the staff will help you if you ask.
Cleanliness: There are no baby changing facilities. The cafe is reasonably clean, but the tables are left uncleared for a while during busy times.
High Chairs: Again the high chairs are the large plastic ones, but they are clean and do the job.
Coffee & Cake: I can't comment on the coffee, the cakes are very good especially the maltesers cake, and the beer is very refreshing.
