I ate here on Saturday September with my boys aged and The decor is on theme with interesting wall schematics of planes and an engine block in the middle of the room. Otherwise the tables and chairs were school dining...room spartan but fine. The kids' meals were middling to OK. They took fruit juices and kids meals. Their pizzas weren't actually pizza but more like a pitta kind of pastry with pleasant and liberal cheese and tomato topping, and a single slice of garlic baguette. Odd that it came to the table completely unsliced. Tasted fine but pricey at and less enjoyable than a benchmark pizza hut kids meal (incl. pizza, salad and unlimited drink). I'd finished slicing up the boys pizzas w...
Our visit was for the museum and the exhibition of aeroplanes and war-time memorabilia and, as expected, these were both excellent; we plan to make a return visit very soon. Keen photographs as we are, both of us took many pictures of their exhibits. RAF...Hendon's Wings Restaurant provided a brilliant menu of coffee and cakes, followed by a very good lunch, with an excellent service and staff experience. I was hoping for a gluten-free menu and while presently, this is not an available option, apparently they are looking to provide one when possible. I had their Mushroom Stroganoff with rice and vegetables and this was very good, as was their delicious carrot cake!! We can't wait to go again...

When my meal arrived, I found it to be very unpleasant. Despite being someone who will eat almost anything, the 28-day burger was extremely chewy, the cheese and onion topping was unappetizing, and the minimal greens on the plate did not help. I stopped eating halfway through when I encountered a large piece of cartilage. The portion of chips that came with the meal was small. Overall, for £9, I expected a burger at least comparable to McDonald's, but this was disappointing. I left the meal feeling unsatisfied, especially considering the total bill of £32. Despite this, the rest of the museum trip was enjoyable. The full menu can be found here: [hidden link]

On going for lunch with my granddaughter the choice of meals was very limited, plus the sandwiches were also rather expensive and seemed to have what must have been wartime amounts of fillings. Soft drinks as well as tea and coffee were also priced well...above the prices seen in some other establishments, and visitors taking more than a couple of children will find eating at the museum can be rather expensive when taking into account the parking fee as well.
I believe the restaurant has changed its name, but I discovered a fantastic little cafe with affordable food and drinks. I needed some fuel to keep searching for the Stuka! Where else can you find a refreshing Spitfire Beer? They also had Sambo Nuts! They have all the necessary food groups covered in my opinion. I enjoyed my experience, as did the numerous kids around me.
When I took my granddaughter out for lunch, we found that the menu was quite limited and the sandwiches were pricey with small portions. The drinks, including soft drinks and tea/coffee, were also overpriced compared to other places. Families with multiple children may find dining at the museum to be expensive, especially when factoring in the cost of parking.
I Think they have changed the name but i found a great little cafe with reasonably priced food drinks and I needed sustenance to continue my search for the Stuka ! Were else can you enjoy a nice cold Spitfire Beer ?? Beer, Sambo.. Nuts ! All the food groups covered I reckon !! I enjoyed it as did the hundred kids around me !

From sandwiches to hot meals, a fairly good selection and very tasty. A good salad bar was also available as were paninis. Very clean, as you would expect of an RAF establishment!
The restarurant has moved with in the museum grounds but still serves excellant food in an atmospheric setting. If I lived nearby I would visit more often just to eat here.
