Guy Ritchie is on my top five list of greatest film producers, and i love old airplanes, especially ww2 aircrafts. This is a must visit for sure. It looks like i'm gonna be quite busy this summer visiting all of this great places. Thank you Gary and the Cameraman!

[@AllyRobson]

Top 5 of ….“film producers” ? so do you rate him as a director ?

[@eightiesboy]

There's so many. Who are your other 4? Tarantino? Scorsese? Kubrick? Spielberg? Lynch? Polanski? The list is endless really....I'm guessing my fav is Tarantino. Only because he's in my age genre. Mid 50s. Edit Really like the Coen bros too.

[@GaryEats]

He is definitely very talented 👌

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

Your joy and enthusiasm for your location was infectious Gary. I wished I was there too. I’ve not long moved to County Durham and there is a runway nearby with a bistro onsite. You’ve persuaded me to try it out now. Just watching the planes will be a joy. When I go, I’ll remember this review. Thanks Gary xx

[@smoothmicra]

That is one for the list, to enjoy the aeroplanes as much as the food! Something fascinating about seeing those birds up close, brings it home that people actually climbed into those machines to defend the country. It's not a story kids, it happened!

[@GaryEats]

I agree completely

[@rooie16]

In a similar vein, but certainly a lot cheaper, may I recommend you visit the excellent café at the Royal Airforce Museum at Cosford, near Shifnal in the West Midlands.

Evening Gary👍I'm exactly the same when it comes to the Spitfire,like a kid in a sweetshop,they fly overhead here regularly on the isle of Wight doing pleasure flights. I thought the restaurant looked well thought out,a rather limited menu, but the quality appeared to be there. For me personally It has to be a strong cheese for my macaroni,the chicken seemed to compliment the mild cheese in the dish it obviously works. Great review mate and that was a superb intro imo✌️

[@GaryEats]

Good evening Martin. I always get very emotional when seeing them and thank you

[@roycarpenter6380]

I did my Flying Instructor Course there in the 80's and it was an airfield with a canteen which always did excellent home-made food for pilots. Now it looks like a restaurant for the public with an airfield attached so I hope it does not lose its aviation atmosphere. There are many good airfield restaurants around and we would often spend £ 200 to go for a £5 all day breakfast - those were the days !!

[@flyingmortgageman]

So glad to see your review and I think its fair. I am a member of Compton and Hire planes from there for a Wizz round one of them behind you used to be a hire plane I have flown it many times. Before Guy took over it was always popular and many of the other members where very unhappy with his buying it. I always kept an open mind and indeed when it reopened quite frankly it is now an amazing spot. I was there Sunday just for a visit as it was the last of the Spitfire days it was very busy, but you could get a table late afternoon as a walk in. You mentioned needing a walk or jog after. If you go and park up by the Clump of trees in the Background in your end talk, then walk over the back follow the footpath signs you go down the hill into Guy Richie’s Land. It takes you past his house down his dive to a lovely village with another lovely pub with more good grub. Circle round up a monster climb and your back to your car. Epic walk lovely views and 4 days later my legs still ache. 1500 calories burnt so it makes up for the Chocolate bownie! BTW If you have not already done it from there you can see James May's pub not tried it yet but i hear good things. I have seen him at Compton as well as he used to keep a plane there. I assume he still does but not seen hm this year.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much for your lovely comment. It’s good to hear that guy is doing a good job. I will take a look at your recommendation as well.

As i use to help her husband on a pig farm as only being 11& 12 at the time in those 2 years her husband took me to Farnborough for seeing the planes doing there display ready for the show at the weekend . Which was really good as on the second day the MP's came along seen we were watching the planes they let us in to a private area but we had to stay in the car which was even better as the view was amazing . The year after we went again for the week and we told the person on the gate he let us in and gave us a weeks pass from Monday to Friday with our own car park space . These days no bloody chance .

We used to live in Blandford Forum and took our then 4 year old son to Compton Abbas Airfield before Guy Ritchie bought it. It had a lovely cafe / restaurant (as you rightly said ) in the day and we had a delicious cottage pie . I hasten to add we are talking about 20 years ago and by the sounds of it hasn’t changed very much , not long afterwards we moved to France so seeing your video this evening was such a lovely memory as well as your excellent as always review.

A 2.8% beer? Might as well drink ASDA shandy. Food looked good. Not sure I'd be blown away by some chipmunks taking off, they were used by the ATC not front line fighters.

[@acheface]

They weren't used by the ATC. They were used as trainer aircraft and also flown by qualified pilots. The ATC and serving airmen were given experience flights in them as passengers. They allowed many excellent pilots to move on to aircraft such as lightning so they played their part.

[@GaryEats]

I’d imagine the weaker beer was designed for the person that was driving

[@simondean8710]

Great video, I live just down the road and visit quite frequently especially at weekends with one or two of the car clubs I belong to. It is quite big on the car club/drive scene locally. In the summer there is no better place to sit out and watch the world go by with a beer. Unfortunately, guy has stopped brewing his own beers.. at weekends especially if you want to eat you will need to book ahead, the menu is slightly bigger now but not vast by any stretch but anybody can bowl up and drink at the bar or get a coffee and sit in the seating provided.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much for updating us on the information, Simon

I have only just stumbled across your videos and channel, and have to say I am enjoying them immensely. I particularly enjoyed the day you spent eating at Wetherspoons.

Thank you Gary, I love all smoked foods, meat, fish and cheese. My first thought when you took the first forkful of Mac & Cheese was it looked a bit dry, personally I prefer it a little wetter!! Great upload thank you. Greetings from Cyprus. 🤗🤗🍽🍽🤗🤗

Hopefully, they extend the menu in the future Jackui 🌹

Great video, Gary! Food looked very nice and I absolutely loved your enthusiasm for the planes. All the best to you and your lad.

Thank you very very much

Gary that food all looked scrumptious and reasonably priced too! Your vlog brought back some distant memories….1 the spitfire-years ago I worked at a place right next to a Rolls Royce factory who refurbished/maintained the BBMF spitfires engine so every summer a spitfire would do a fly past over our yard and over RR too, what a thrill to hear the roar approaching! Needless to say not a lot of work got done at the time….2 as an RAF cadet I did some air experience flight flying in the rear seat of a Chipmunk trainer aircraft a few times (the silver one with the roundels) mainly at English airbases but at Edinburgh Turnhouse RAF base too back in the day…a very enjoyable video mate on several counts!

I’m really pleased it brought back some lovely memories Bill 👍

Another gem of a review Gary. I can imagine Compton Abbas will be a brilliant place to visit on one of their air show days. Well done to Guy Ritchie in investing in this airfield and providing a different type of restaurant fare.

Thank you for watching

Great review, as usual, Gary. Lovely setting, lovely food, and your excitement at seeing the planes is infectious. I love macaroni cheese, too. Would have it every day if I could!!! Keep 'em coming, Gary!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you lovely comment

Great video as always Gary, love the Aviation twist to this one. A little fact Compton is also has a navigational aid, and alot of the westbound traffic from Heathrow use it. That macaroni cheese certainly looked great.

[@GaryEats]

This was a great experience but the menu definitely needs expansion Brandon

[@adedavison762]

Another great review Gary- am x RAF myself, the sound of propellers makes my spine tingle- Will be heading to that Eatery ASAP

[@GaryEats]

Give it a go!

Up until 2020, I held a PPL for about 16 years. Compton Abbas was a favourite destination, as it is amongst many private pilots especially due to its wonderful location on a hill and the equally beautiful surrounding countryside. In a food context, much of private flying trips are referred to as an expensive bacon sandwich! The irony is that your channel may give me a similar food related excuse for a journey or two, albeit by road, which will be a lot cheaper!

That is brilliant to hear thank you, Keith
