Sat atop a hill in the Cranborne Chase Area of Natural Beauty with stunning views over Shaftesbury and beyond, Compton Abbas Airfield is the perfect place to enjoy the day. Feast your eyes on beautiful historic aircraft and observe the comings and goings of our fabulous light aircraft community while enjoying authentic Texas barbecue dishes smoked on-site in The Smokehouse restaurant.

The workhorse of the The Smokehouse is our J&R Oyler Smoker, the first of its kind in the UK and only the second in Europe. J&R’s Smokers are forged in the barbecue heartlands of Texas, and we have flown one in to bring that experience to Compton Abbas Airfield. So come and join us for our signature eight-hour smoked dishes or our new 'Sunday Roast' Smoked Meat Platter and a refreshing pint of local beer!

    This is not your ideal GA pilots restaurant. Whilst there is an alternative snack takeaway near the menus in both are limited. The site as a whole is great and still one of the prettiest airfields. But I miss the all day breakfast and in particular the Dorset apple and brie baguette.

    Absolutely superb! The staff were attentive, drinks and food delivered quickly and the Pulled Pork Burgers and Pulled Beef Burgers and fries were absolutely divine! Flew in from Lee On Solent in our PA28 for lunch and it was magical - great food, great views across to Shaftesbury and will definately be coming back. An absolute gem of an airfield. Bravo to the staff!

    Superb environment for lunch. Food very good which is to be expected as a little bit pricey. Service excellent.

    Very disappointed Heard great comments from family members and reviewers It was just a very average, dry baked potato with some stuff on it. Wouldn't go again, wouldn't recommend Lovely service and great views though.

    Wonderful place if you like watching planes. Spacious, efficient, friendly and incredibly good value. Bit limited on choice on the day we were there, but it was a vintage fly-in on Sunday and they were dealing (well) with a lot of customers. I’d forgotten about their downhill runway, which always provides entertaining flying. Not sure how I feel about pulled beef as a burger alternative, but that’s just me. Again, faster to turn around orders on a busy day.

    Treated very off handed on arrival which wasn’t a good start, went and bought two drinks at the bar and sat outside to watch the arrival of the vintage aircraft ……none arrived or departed so after 90min went inside to my table and to order lunch Table service was ok friendly and helpful although all the staff were dressed generally quite scruffy and seemed a little undertrained and somewhat bemused Drinks and food ordered turned up quickly, the baked potato and jackfruit filling was enjoyed but the Beef brisket burger was dreadful ( having eaten there five times previously and food was good) The burger bun was cold and dry and so was the very small amount of meat that was inside, pickles and salad were scant and spread thinly on the awful brioche bun. Fries were excellent and hot Such a shame as it’s a great venue but appears to now be over staffed with unaware,untrained and untidy staff I did mention to the chap who came and enquired how the food was, he seemed initially unsure what to do but went and spoke to the new manager and then the chef and consequently brought a small white ramekin over with a few ounces of more tepid beef filling Best of a bad job I’m afraid Really disappointing day all round especially as it wasn’t very busy

    Sharing Sunday roast platter for 3. Lots of slow cooked meats, plenty of roasties and vegetables cooked perfectly (not over done) and a Yorkshire each. Extra gravy when requested. Quick and friendly service. Excellent overall and looking forward to October when they do Sunday lunches again.

    What a fantastic place to visit and eat! The Sunday roast smoked meat platter was just awesome. The meat was smoky and tender, the Yorkshire was lovely and crunchy, fluffy roast potatoes and the cauliflower cheese was rich and creamy. This was freshly cooked food at its best. A bit more expensive than your pub Sunday roast but worth every penny. Loved watching the planes outside too. Service was also top notch - friendly and attentive. A great find and will definitely be back for the summer menu.
