Chain pub/restaurant serving classic comfort food, with kids' and dessert menus.
Paul and the team are really pleased to announce that the Air Balloon is now open! We can’t wait to welcome you to our NEW pub and restaurant where you can enjoy tasty food and refreshing drinks at great value prices.
We entered to a nice clean place. Took our table and went to order. After starters we had to request our mains which apparently the kitchen don't know how to line up orders in a service. 2 people were served while 2 had to wait 15 more minutes for a burger in a restaurant with 3 other customers at the time. The medium steak was so rare it was Blue! And put us off eating. The staff said sorry and that's all, no fix, no recook, no refund. Nothing. This spoiled the atmosphere a lot, making us feel like they don't care. What professional kitchen can't cook a steak to order!
Had a lovely lunch here for my daughters first birthday with the whole family. We were a large party and food was prompt and lovely. We all had different meals and everyone enjoyed it. The waitress was amazing and very attentive. Would definitely recommend.
Came here for breakfast this morning, and I must admit, 10/10 through and through The Customer Service was speedy and the person who served me was kind The hot chocolate was delicious and sweet, food-wise, everything was top notch, absolutely LOVED the hash browns & runny poached eggs. All the food arrived very quickly as well!! Nice and clean atmosphere.
The quality of the food was fantastic, as were the portion sizes. Location is excellent being right next to the airport and it was really well furnished inside, it felt comfortable and cosy in there. Staff very nice as well and spot on if you are staying in the Premier Inn next door.
Just left here and have to say it was really nice. Me and my partner have eaten at the cherry tree pub a few miles away which is part of the same chain. My god the difference was night and day. We ordered exactly the same food as the cherry tree. At the cherry tree, we ended up with inedible food and rude staff so we ended up just leaving. The hot air balloon was the polar opposite. Lovely hot food. Served very fast ,the staff were very friendly with big smiles. Three pieces of chicken in the wrap(not two like the cherry tree) Amazingly they had brown bread (again after four visits to the cherry tree something they ve never had) We didn't have to ask for anything extra, everything we needed was brought to the table. At the end we had empty plates . I think this is the first family pub I ve been where the menus and tables were spotless with no stickiness. It's attached to a wacky warehouse, so it is great for kids and also has a premier Inn next door and a lidl, so very handy! It has a great amount of seating. The loos were clean. The only thing stopping a 5 star is the decor needs a little touch up, as it's suffering a little wear and tear. This clearly is no fault of the staff though. I know I ve compared this to another pub in the same chain and don't want to take anything away from the air balloon or be mean about the cherry tree. I just think the difference is so massive and they are so close to each other its worth taking a few pointers from the guys that seem to have got it right.
