The Aero Club Café

Open to the public all year round, the Aero Club Café is at the centre of things, right in the heart of the historic Goodwood airfield. Once RAF Westhampnett, the airfield was home to wartime squadrons and played host to one of the first of the US aviators to take part in the theatre of war in World War II. 

Include the family

Ideal for a trip out with the family, the Aero Club Café has a children’s menu and its warm and relaxed atmosphere means it always feels welcoming even on the wettest wintry afternoon. On sunny days, the superb wraparound veranda means diners can enjoy breakfast, lunch or a slice of cake whilst soaking up the sun and watching the comings and goings of all the large and small aircraft arriving and leaving Goodwood. 

The café is fully licensed and has a large and varied menu ranging from light snacks to three course meals seven days a week.
