History

Established in 1988.

Compton started as a small farm strip, after the previous owner bought his very own Tiger Moth. It has been established as an airfield since 1960. Taken over by the current owners in 1988, they have since built up the business to the thriving airfield it is now. Compton has provided flight training for royalty, film stars and Olympic champions! The airfield and restaurant now benefits from over 100,000 visitors a year, is open 360 days, with free entry to everyone.

This place is truly one-​of-​a-​kind. You literally get to sit and have lunch adjacent to an active airfield. It’s exactly as cool as it sounds.
With all the vintage biplanes and classy pilots, at times it feels like a throwback from another age, like something from the Rocketeer. The food is good, but it’s your usual British pub fare. The sandwich baguettes have a bit too much butter for my taste, but that’s nuance at an establishment that is all about the ambiance. They could serve nothing but orange juice and crackers and it’d still be worth a visit.
