Take Your Restaurant Ambitions Sky High – Iconic Aerodrome Dining Destination

CoGoGo is delighted to bring to the market Biggles Restaurant, a distinctive and long-established dining destination enjoying a truly memorable setting at Denham Aerodrome in Buckinghamshire.

Trading under its current ownership since 2017, Biggles has a much longer history, with the building converted into the restaurant and country club in 1985. Famous for its steaks, the restaurant offers an extensive continental à la carte selection alongside fresh fish, shellfish, Sunday lunches and seasonal menus. The business also caters for couples, families, celebrations, groups and private functions, creating multiple reasons to visit throughout the year.

Quality produce, generous hospitality and its unusual aviation backdrop have helped Biggles build a substantial following, with hundreds of online reviews.

Retirement now creates an exciting opportunity for a new operator, with a handover offered and assets understood to be in the region of £80,000.

Further growth could come from modernised marketing, events, private dining and maximising the venue's distinctive location.

Viewings to be arranged strictly by appointment only via CoGoGo!
