Renovated NAAFI now open!

13 November 2025

We're pleased to announce the opening of our renovated NAAFI!

We're so pleased to announce that our newly renovated NAAFI has been finished and is open to the public.  The renovation project has seen our original WW1 building, which was moved here in the 1980's from RAF Manby, have a complete inspection and structural repair as well as an expansion of the office, kitchen, toilets and function room facilities.
Alongside the original building we have built a mirror image of it in order to replace the 1990's built lean-to extensions we were previously working from.  The NAAFI now boasts central heating, warm toilets and a state of the art kitchen.
We have built a function room which allows for an extra 60 people to be seated on our event days but also allows us to host talks, afternoon teas and other functions such as wakes, christenings and AGMs.

With the renovation we have also opened up the building to those passing by who wish to eat with us.  If you just want to pop in for something to eat or a perusal of the shop there is no admission fee to pay.  You can see the downloadable menu below.
