The new restaurant seating area

18/04/2022

It’s been a hard struggle, but the complete renovation of the cafe area is now complete. There’s a new team in place and all the old equipment has been removed, replaced with equipment better suited to today and the future’s requirements for a busy and attractive eating environment. We all know that a really attractive cafe will bring visitors by air and road – customer response so far is enthusiastic!

The old cafe as a meeting area

The old linkway between tower and Members lounge has new serving and payment counters – a new Member and Visitors briefing and lounge are to come.

And, a lovely new beans to cup coffee machine will now provide the weary traveller with a decent cup of coffee!
