The Aviator

Visited today with our Team from work. Charlotte displayed next level customer service and was so pleasant to deal with. The breakfast bap was very good. The Team was all impressed and we will be back again in the near future.

The first and last time I’ll be going here for food which is unfortunate as it’s such a unique location. I’ve given one extra star for the nice beer which they clearly put effort into properly cleaning the beer lines and not leaving horrible bleachy tasting line cleaner in like most pubs. But the food.. man what a disappointment. £14 for a burger and honestly I’ve had better burgers from a van at the side of the road. Guys, it’s a burger. These are so hard to get wrong, but I’ll tell you the secret to F’ing it up every time - cheap slab of greasy meat, undercooking it, and serving it with limp garnish. I joked with someone I came with “I wouldn’t feed that to a dog” and then looked at your reviews where someone else wrote “I wouldn’t feed that hotdog to a dog”. This was from months ago - what’s changed? Like something is going wrong here guys. The chef has obviously checked out, do yourselves a favour and change it up. I’m not expecting a luxury gastropub experience, but to be charged £14 for that is actually insulting to your customers. If you’re coming here for a drink my advice is to leave it at that and if you fancy some food go elsewhere. My meal couldn’t even be salvaged by the sides which was soggy fries and out-of-the-box coleslaw. Meh.

Popped into today for a quick lunch for myself and two kiddos aged 4 & under. Due to the adverse weather we plumped for an empty table by the viewing windows & had a lovely meal. Friendly & helpful staff & patrons who gave me a hand ferrying drinks and keeping smallies smiling. Very reasonably prized & sized kids food - delicious home made mushroom soup- nice to have evidently freshly food. Been before & will come back again soon. Great spot- just like Jet Age Museum

A great place to stop off at as an alternative to Gloucester Services on the M5. There is a view over the airport with private planes and helicopters flying in and out. Good outside area, especially for children.

Very disappointed with the food. Wow, £8.00 for this bacon and egg roll that was poorly prepared—undercooked bacon, liquid egg, and a tiny bun. This place used to be excellent and fairly priced, but standards have clearly dropped. Even after raising our concerns, the response was far from helpful. Sadly, we won’t be returning—much better value can be found elsewhere.

It’s a nice cafe/pub venue very close the the runway. Although not that big plenty of tables available when we got there but you can pre book. Staff were pleasant and food was fine. There is some seating outside and sufficient parking. Would I make a trip to just go there again, probably not but great to take the kids if they like helicopters or light aircraft and is definitely good for people working there.

My favourite place for Sunday roast dinner. Great service as always. Dogs welcomed. Booking needed as always packed.

Great beer garden next to the airport runway. Good range of drinks and food as well. I have had roast dinners here, the quantity and quality of food is very good. I do wish they had more vegetarian options though. It's great to sit here and watch the aircraft coming and going, it's also good to see the 3 runways are still here from the Second World War. Highly recommend visiting here, especially if the weather is good to sit outside.

Food is great and if you go on a sunny day, it's stunning! If you like planes this is a great location (can often get busy in the summer with plane spotters, which is also interesting to see as they sit there with binoculars and a notepad) The issue...the waiters and wait time...we got there for the breakfast well before they swapped the menu to lunch....waited 40minutes to have our drinks ordered, to then go to order of the breakfast menu to be told sorry too late, they were just changing the menu now....to which I went on to complain about the fact we had been sat there 40 minutes before they had changed the menu...and that WASN'T a busy morning...there was only 3 other tables (also waiting)

Recently had the misfortune to spend a week on a course with work at Gloucester Airport, and the highlight of every day was the visit to The Aviator at lunchtime! If you're a spotter this is a great place to dine as it is located just off the main runway undershoot and you get a good view of quite a large part of the Apron as well. If you're not a spotter (like me) you can admire the nice solid oak dining tables that you're eating dinner from! The service was good although it does get very busy at lunchtime and on some days we had to queue for quite a while before being served. Food was excellent, and not bad value for money. If you like goat's cheese, you'll love the goat's cheese panini with honey and chilli - very yum. Only complaint was that they were charging branded prices for non-branded goods. If you order a Coke, you get some sort of generic Rola-Cola instead, and the J2O is actually something called 'H' in an almost identical bottle. But that's a minor complaint, and you can't blame them for trying to keep costs down. A nice trip out for lunch, a good place to take granny or the kids (highchairs available, and plenty of space for them too). Signs saying wifi available although I didn't try it out.

Set in the edge of the Airport with wonderful views of planes landing and taking off. If you live fairly local great for a bike ride or Good walk(blackerry picking on the way in Autumn) Though there is a free carpark Plenty of tables set outside on a raised grass area were you can enjoy just a drink (alcohol or just soft drink/coffee) as you watch the planes Though you can be plagued with wasps Good Menu at very reasonable prices. Cater well for children

Lovely views of watching planes coming and going. Food is good as well, nice place to go in the summer and sit ouside with a cider

We went there for Sunday lunch. Four adults, two children. Food was decent - not special, but great value for money - we had roasts. The staff were excellent - friendly and accommodating. The location is brilliant.

I disagree with the category - this is a pub/restaurant. Excellent location, good service, good range of meals. Open at times other places are closed, so great as an impromptu destination. Also convenient for the cycle route round the airport. Can get busy, and space limited inside in winter, but wonderful to sit outside in the summer and watch the planes.

Great little cafe, visited with family. Great breakfast, good coffee. Fantastic view of the airfield and great provision for kids, very family friendly. I did notice the wasps some refer to though, they were massive.. I am phobic. So that didn't help They were not plagued though, just noticed them
