This was the clubhouse for a small caravan park, built on the site of an old airfield - hence the name, which has since become surrounded by housing and industrial estates so it is a little tricky to find. It is now more of a 'proper' pub, but still feels a bit clubbish, perhaps because it is a low rise building and centres on one big room with tidy but slightly naff decor. For example a set of strange dangly lampshades over the bar seem to have come from a Chinese restaurant sale. One end has a pool table and dartboard and there are a couple of TVs, while the restaurant area behind is a bit more cosy and the staff are all friendly enough. Sadly just Doom Bar and the usual bogus Spanish lager-type stuff on the bar, otherwise it is not unpleasant. Food is slightly better quality than mainstream pubs.
