Flight Deck Café
If you're on the hunt for a cozy café with stunning views and a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than the Flight Deck Café in Tatenhill, Burton-on-Trent. Nestled right next to the airfield, this charming spot offers a unique dining experience where you can indulge in delicious food while watching planes take off and land just a stone's throw away. It's truly a feast for the senses!
The Flight Deck Café serves up a delightful selection of dishes that caters to both breakfast and lunch crowds. Start your day with their mouthwatering Breakfast Roll—a classic English staple brimming with locally sourced bacon and sausage, with the option to add a free-range egg for a small extra charge. If you’re craving a simple yet flavorful choice, the Scrambled Eggs on a toasted New York bagel will not disappoint; it's creamy, rich, and comforting. For those who prefer something a little sweeter, the Porridge Bowl offers a warm, comforting hug of creamy porridge topped with a swirl of golden syrup, perfect for kickstarting your morning.
For lunch, enjoy the satisfying All Day Full English Breakfast that promises to leave you fully sated, or try the Fish Finger Sandwich, served with a light side salad and crisps—a great choice for something delicious and comforting as you take in the sights of the airfield. The Skin on Fries and Loaded Fries are delightful sides that complement any main dish, ensuring you have the complete experience of indulgent café dining.
Of course, no visit would be complete without indulging in one of their ever-changing weekly Cakes & Gateaux. Priced at just £3.50, these sweet delights are a perfect way to end your meal, and with new offerings available weekly, there’s always something fresh to try!
But the Flight Deck Café is not just about the food; it’s the entire experience that draws people in. Customers rave about the friendly, attentive service, which makes every visit feel special. Colin Masters shares how his campervan group felt welcomed by the staff, much like many families and friends who return time after time. M-T-Wallit highlights the joy of watching airplanes while enjoying a casual lunch in the café’s conservatory, which is currently undergoing exciting expansion to further enhance your experience.
The outdoor seating allows you to soak up the sun while enjoying your meal, making it perfect for a warm day. And with ample parking available, you can enjoy a stress-free visit in a charming setting that feels like a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.
So whether you’re a local or just passing through, make the Flight Deck Café your next stop for an enjoyable day out, filled with great food, breathtaking views, and a community vibe that will make you feel right at home. You’ll understand why families, like that of Josh Surga, keep coming back again and again, eager to create new memories in a space where quality service and delicious fare come together with a view that never gets old.
