Great spot for watching the Beluga but very little other traffic into Hawarden unless there's a stop over for an airshow.
The cafe has plenty of seating inside and out, a kids play area and access to Beluga bank for the best views of takeoffs from runway 04.
Tables can be reserved.
While the service was friendly, it was slow. Perhaps the omelette was low priority as others ordering full English were served, finished and out the door before our order arrived. Also, the white coffee came without milk but, to be fair, it was busy at the time, mistakes happen.
The quality of food was good and prices very reasonable especially considering there's nothing else in the area.
The car parking is also free so is a far cheaper alternative day out to Manchester!
The Beluga itself is an amazing aircraft and watching it take off and land is impressive . Before you arrive, check the times on the Beluga Hawarden Facebook page or Flight Radar. There's generally no flights on weekends or bank holidays .
If youre doing a land away from another airport, it's one of the best airfield cafes I've been to. If Hawarden is your home airfield, it's a nice spot for a cuppa and flight planning ....or escaping to when the weather grounds you!
