the pathfinder cafe
OPEN 0800-1600, 7 DAYS A WEEK
The Pathfinder Café was opened in 2021 with a completely refurbished interior and exterior. The outside area is now 3 times the size, and the cafe is popular with pilots, passengers, and aviation enthusiasts. On any given day you’ll find the cafe is busy with families, dog walkers, and passing motorists too. Our menu is focused around our all day breakfasts, but we have a great range of sandwiches and cakes too.
On weekends, the cafe can be very busy. Sometimes there can be a wait for food, but staff will inform you of this when ordering. All of our food is cooked fresh to order onsite.

TABLE BOOKINGS
We don’t accept bookings for tables, everything is first-come, first-serve. Please select a table and give the number when ordering at the counter. During good weather days, there are lots of tables outside on the patio, garden, or in our pergola, in addition to those inside.
On poor weather days it can get a little busy - but we make it work!
