Flights and Bites Cafe

Set alongside the active taxiway of Tatenhill Airfield near Burton-upon-Trent, Flights and Bites Cafe (formerly known as the Flight Deck Cafe) is one of the most unique stops for motorcyclists in the West Midlands. Combining the high-octane thrill of aviation with top-tier hospitality, it has become a premier destination for those who enjoy a side of “runway action” with their morning coffee.

A Destination with a View

The cafe underwent a significant extension in late 2025, adding a spacious, glass-fronted conservatory that offers panoramic, front-row views of the runway. For riders, the appeal is twofold:

The Spectacle: There is nothing quite like watching light aircraft and microlights take off and land just yards from your table. It provides a constant, shifting backdrop that beats a standard high-street view every time.
The Logistics: The airfield offers ample free, level tarmac parking—an essential feature for bikers who want a stable surface for their stands and plenty of room for group arrivals.
The Menu: The “Flights and Bites” menu focuses on quality and freshness. Their full cooked breakfasts are famous among the “flying and riding” crowds, while their artisan coffee and homemade cakes provide the perfect mid-ride refuel.

Bike and Brew Passport 2026

In 2026, Flights and Bites Cafe has solidified its status as a key stamping station for the Bike and Brew Passport. This nationwide initiative supports the Make Your Mark charity and connects riders with nearly 300 of the UK’s best independent venues.

For riders traversing the Staffordshire countryside in 2026, stopping here is a strategic move. Each visit earns a stamp in the physical passport; collecting 15 stamps enters the holder into a massive end-of-season prize draw. With prizes including brand-new motorcycles and premium riding gear, Flights and Bites serves as a high-value waypoint where you can contribute to a great cause while enjoying some of the best views in the county.
