What greenwichsocial doesn't like about The Red Lion:
It's a shame the only option in Gatwick for a pub is Spoons, but it's a British tradition before any flight. This is your average Wetherspoons but is more expensive because it's an airport. View all feedback. What Travellerclass likes about The Red Lion:
Six of us called in here before we set off to Menorca. We all had the Full English Breakfast, and this is simply just superb. The service is excellent and quite prompt. At 4 in the morning, it was already busy, and queue were forming.... View all feedback.

Despite mixed reviews, Gatwick Airport's Wetherspoons is a go-to for traditional British pre-flight fare. Customers rave about efficient service and good value, while others complain of cold, disappointing meals. A standout mention goes to Jodie for her exceptional customer service skills. Order through the app for a quicker dining experience in this bustling spot. Overall, it's a hit or miss, but for a quick and easy meal before takeoff, it gets the job done.

Food was barely edible, eggs rubbery, tomatoes and mushroom tasteless. The highlight was the backed beans. Prices through the roof!

Where do I start? 20 minutes in the queue, filthy dirty tables (not wiped between guests). £20 for a medium glass of wine (served in a dirty gin bloom), nachos...
