English breakfast time!!! What we ordered: Full English 10/10 with scrambled eggs bacon, sausage toast My partner ordered this. He loved it. In fact, he keeps talking about the full English breakfast and wants it again lol Full Veggie 10/10 with scrambled eggs veggie meat 2 pieces of toast This was sooo yummy! I ate the veggie meal with eggs, toast, hash browns, backed beans, veggie sausage, and avocado. It was so good! I loved the hash browns and baked beans. Baked beans sound so weird to me to have for breakfast! But it was delightful. Very berry smoothie to go (had to catch our flight, so I took this to go!) My smoothie was delicious! Since it was made with raspberries, it has little seeds in it. Which I didn't care for, but it's unavoidable with the raspberries. read more

Been here twice on the way to Sweden with Norwegian (see elsewhere)...impressed The first visit - hadn't been to Gatwick in absolutely ages - was very good A tall Polish guy served me a pot of Earl Grey, a "no frills" breakfast and a double espresso...including tip £22.99 Ok, not cheap - but he was great, the food was excellent and all in all it was a good place to be; clean, tidy, nice staff and just right to calm down when you've been rushing around and more to come The next visit, a few weeks later, I knew what to expect and went straight there...a lady (Sarah?) took me to a table and looked after me (my Polish guy was off that day)...tea, pastries...very nice; good quality; again, another good experience and I said my wife should go there on her next trip - she did; again great experience Recommended read more

After eating some nasty risotto at the Flying Horse, my husband and I hung out at Gatwick Airport for a few more hours. Eventually we got bored and headed to Grain Store Cafe & Bar for a few G&Ts. I didn't realize London was famous for its gin but then I remembered good ol' London Dry. Of course, Stefanie. I've never had a G&T in stemmed glassware before. Also I love the special G&T menu where you can order gin and tonic separately depending on what you like. I went with one of their suggestions and got Hendricks with Elderflower Fever Tree. The combination (plus ice and cucumber) was wonderfully refreshing. Service was subpar here. I had to flag someone down several times when it seemed like they all had tunnel vision at work. Maybe it was the end of their shift. At any rate, using my Priority Pass made the trip worthwhile (for several G&Ts and fries) because it would have otherwise been a little pricey. Would come here again. read more

This place is really pretty in terms of decor but also pretty pricey, but thanks to priority pass, I got credit for £15 per person, otherwise I'm not so sure if the food is worth it. We got the Fish and Chips and the Full English Breakfast. The food was pretty decent. Nothing too remarkable (the sausages from the english breakfast were provably my favorite thing from either dish). The portion sizes for both dishes were perfect though - not too much but also not too little. If you have priority pass, I would definitely come here because it's a lot quieter here to relax and have some coffee/tea compared to sitting out in the hectic terminal, so definitely grateful for that. read more

Grain Store Cafe & Bar is an upgrade from the usual airport grub. Prices are very reasonable especially for airport food . There is plenty of seating inside and cute home-y decor. I feel like I'm in a kitchen of a food network show instead of a cramped knock off taqueria. My dining/travel buddy and I split the Goat Cheese Salad and Spaghetti Broccoli Aglio E Olio. The Goat Cheese tasted and looked like Brie but it was still delicious. It was a large slice of cheese on a buttered toast surrounded with a refreshing arugula and pomegranate salad. The spaghetti was definitely a heavier dish but balanced well with the salad. Each bite of spaghetti was filled with broccoli and garlic. If only there was red pepper flakes! I'll definitely stop back in on my travels home. I'm eyeing those truffle Parmesan fries! read more

Stopped by waiting for our flight since it is part of the priority pass lounges where you get 15£ for you and 15£ for a guest. Was craving our last English breakfast. Food was good, not as amazing as other brunches I had during the trip but not bad for airport food. It was quick and my meal and the kids meal was more than covered by the priority pass credit. If you have time and priority pass, definitely recommend. Staff was very friendly. read more

Price is a bit much. Probably doubt the cost as what a dish would cost you outside of the airport. But then what doesn't cost more at the airport. $5 water anyone? Luckily for me on my discount thanks to priority pass, I had my pre lounge lunch here. If you missed out on fish and chip in the UK, this is a good final spot to try before you board. The fish is fresh and decent. Chip is a bit tiny like they are from the bottom of the fryer. Service is on point. They talk to me after I put my menu down and ready for some estella time and order a decent meal. The drive to gatwich is hell with all the construction. I was 2 minutes away from late car rental return. Price is probably my only complaint. How does a few piece of fries and a fillet of fried fish cost me $20. They better pay their staff well enough. read more

We are on our way to Bergen and we have a long layover In Gatwick. I was searching for some breakfast places and found this one. The ambience and music is pretty good. This cafe offers 30£ credit for 2 if you have priority pass. Coming to the food, I had avacado egg toast. It's very fresh and tasty. You can definitely visit this place. They have lot of options. read more

Probably one of the best airport meals I've ever had and it was still only about average. If you have the Priority Pass card, definitely use it here because you will get good food and $15 off your meal (and same for your guest as well) which essentially translates to a free meal. This place is also very eco-conscious which is super cool. I ordered the Mushroom Benedict with sourdough bread and a Pain Au Chocolat. The Benedict was decent. The mushrooms didn't feel completely cooked (little too waxy) and well seasoned and a had a weird aftertaste. They were also not very juicy at all. The poached eggs really had me disappointed. Although the hollandaise sauce was decent the eggs felt more hard-boiled than poached which is not the way it should be for Eggs Benedict dishes. This, plus the waxiness of the mushrooms, made the texture of each bite feel really weird. The best part of the dish was definitely the sourdough bread. It was extremely crispy and sour and was a great based for the eggs, hollandaise, and mushrooms. The Pain Au Chocolat was also not great - had very little chocolate in it and felt way too buttery. I don't know if it's worth it to eat here if you don't have the Priority Pass card, but you should definitely still check it out. read more

This restaurant was a little hard to find in the airport, but it is part of the Priority Pass network. I think it's only worth stopping by if you've got the membership. The lighting and ambience of the restaurant feels chic, a welcome escape from the crowded South terminal. I ordered the Eggs Royale. My main experience of the dish was that it was dry, even given the hollandaise sauce, which felt more like a thick cream than anything else. The salmon tasted hardly "smoked", and the English muffin felt like it had been grabbed and heated from the supermarket frozen aisle. It had a nice presentation to it, but then again, so does anything with salmon. read more

Came here because priority pass. My priority pass gave me and one guest the GF £15/per person to spend each. Since the lounges were all full at Gatwick had to come to this restaurant like a plebe. The decorations in here are pretty hyper modern and sleek. Of course with the this place being in an airport food prices were pretty expensive. We ended up getting a burger, fries, and an ice cream. Overall this was an average experience. I left feeling satisfied. The food here is average though, and I probably wouldn't have dined here were it not for the Priority Pass. read more

I have wanted to go to the Grain Store at Granary Square Kings Cross for a while now but as I was at Gatwick Airport and looking for somewhere for a proper sit down breakfast and cocktails, as it was my birthday, we decided to check it out. It was such a painful experience and not a great start to the day. The service was terribly slow, it took us about 20 minutes to be served after receiving the menu which is not what you need in an airport, especially when they had more staff on than customers in the restaurant. I ordered an egg dish with a side of hash browns, a flat white and a champagne cocktail. The coffees came first and the lady put down a cappuccino in front of me. I explained that I had ordered a flat white (it was the same lady that took the order) and it wasn't a problem but can she bring over a flat white please. She actually said no, I was gobsmacked and she proceeded to tell me that I had definitely ordered a cappuccino. I hadn't. So I persisted, asked her to show me what she had written down (it said flat white!) and she huffed and went away returning with a flat white 15 minutes later without an apology. The food arrived extremely quickly. In what felt like 2 minutes actually! Which made me a little suspicious. The hash browns were definitely not browned....they had barely been cooked and were cold still?? The baked egg dish was actually quite tasty and was hot but just really tiny for what you pay. The champagne cocktail was really odd tasting but that serves me right for trying to order something different (a bread and mushroom cocktail!) it was done badly though. We then had to wait a good 20 minutes for the bill even after asking 3 different members of staff. I really don't know how they can get away with it in an airport restaurant. Luckily we had a few hours to kill before we had to get on our plane. Sadly it's really put me off going to the Kings Cross one now even though I've heard great things about it but if its anything like the Gatwick location I'd rather give my money to Caravan or Dishoom in the local area instead. read more

Gorgeous, flavourful beetroot carpaccio and gracious staff. Plus lots of USB ports for the hapless traveller! The menu is inventive, sustainable and has plenty of choice for healthy and not-too-healthy moods. I've not been to their big sister in Kings Cross but more likely to try it out now! In sum, a lovely and surpringly large oasis of calm at Gatwick :) read more

Highly recommend. Stopped in here while waiting for a flight and enjoyed ourselves. We were promptly seated and greeted by our waitress. We ordered drinks while perusing the menu. The drinks came fairly quickly and we ordered our food (to go). My friends each got the charcuterie board and I got the quinoa salad with grilled chicken. I requested a different dressing for the salad, since the one that comes with it is mustard based and boo I hate mustard. The charcuterie was fine, but instead of bread or crustinis, it came with a couple cracker sticks. A little disappointing. The meat selection was fine though. The quinoa salad was amazing. I didn't eat it until I was on my flight and it was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the blend of ingredients was well balanced. I would definitely return here if ever transiting through LGW again. read more

Don't be fooled by the long queue. This is a seemingly nice airport offshoot of the main restaurant in Kings Cross London, with entrees, a bakery, and alcoholic drinks and coffee, but my breakfast meal was very mediocre and the ones around me didn't look any better. The food here is delivered suspiciously fast (~2-5 minutes per dish). I ordered the avocado toast with poached egg from the "our specials" menu. The toast was barely toasted, the poached egg was very bad, and the "fresh" avocado wasn't tasty at all. I'd hope the main branch of this restaurant serves better food. I wouldn't bother wasting money on breakfast at this airport version, although my espresso was fine so I don't believe this to be a bad coffee/bakery option. read more

Grain Store Café + Bar is now perhaps your best option for a snack at Gatwick airport. Tasty sandwiches, delicious sweet baked goods, Allpress coffee and fresh juices. This is all I need to get ready for a flight in the early morning. After stormy weather conditions threatened to delay my journey to the airport, I managed to get on an earlier train than planned and arrived well on time - just to find out my flight would be delayed. Delayed or not, I wanted to sit down somewhere, have breakfast with a decent coffee and a juice to properly wake up at this ungodly time in the morning. Wandering around the departure lounge, I saw that Grain Store opened a restaurant at Gatwick Airport and it clearly looked like the best option. They run a take-away counter and also a proper restaurant, which can be a bit confusing. Admittedly, I was a bit grumpy when the lovely French girl explained to me that I would have to order the juice at a different counter. After I sat down, before I bothered to walk over and order my grapefruit juice, she approached me and offered to get it for me. This level of service thoroughly impressed me. I had a very tasty Grain Store Croque Madame. Beautifully toasted, soft bread, fried egg, spinach and cheese. It looked nice and it tasted excellent. And was probably not more expensive than any average sandwich you get at the other airport restaurants. I was delighted to find out they serve Allpress coffee. Because I was stupid and ordered at the take-away counter, I got a take-away paper cup. My impression was that with Allpress beans you could and should do a better flat white. It was not perfect, but to be honest, I am pretty convinced that it was the best coffee I could get anywhere at the airport, so I was very happy with what I got. When I arrived ther were still free tables, but by 8:00 this place already was incredibly busy. As I had to wait a little longer at the airport anyway, I decided to start my day with something sweet as well. The strawberry muffin was moist and a real treat. As much as I dislike Gatwick Airport, stopping at Grain Store helps making this airport a little bit more enjoyable. read more

I travel a bit and am always happy when I stumble upon delicious airport gems. This is one! First off, the customer service is friendly and welcoming. And then let's just get to it. The Eggs Royale (Smoked Scottish Salmon, two free-range poached eggs, and homemade hollandaise served on sourdough toast £12.5) is a straight win. Chopped "eggs Benedict" perfection. The eggs are poached just right to give you that nice ooze when cut into and the hollandaise sauce is yummy perfection -- not to mention the toast with crisp edges and the tasty salmon (not overpoweringly smoky or salty). I added a side of avocado (£2) and was slightly disappointed when it came out smashed rather than sliced, but it worked well as a spread. These folks know what they're doing! read more

Unusually amazing Ceasar salad, and fantastic tomato soup. Service is so-so.. Need to flag them down. read more

Chose this place for a pre-flight meal since they take Priority Pass (currently you get £15 to spend not including gratuity). The visit was very efficient- seated right away, server came by soon after, order came out relatively quick, and no trouble paying. I had a delicious avocado toast to which I added poached eggs- felt like a nutritious and relatively healthy meal before a Trans-Atlantic flight. To this I added English Breakfast tea and a glass of rosé. There was only 1 rosé on the menu and I have to say it was one of the best I've had. Obviously I was over the spending limit (by a rosé). Great option for all those Priority Pass members that get rejected by the "No1" Lounge (see other review) read more

A bright and airy environment to is to be found in here. I was seated quickly and my order taken speedily, once I had made my mind up whether to have the full English or something else. The speed with which my food arrived almost gave me whiplash. I know it's in an airport and speed is a necessity but perhaps just a little slower would be nice! The staff were friendly and multilingual as you often find in airports. The portion size of my full English was spot on, not to,small and not to large just right I felt. I guess speed is one of their strengths, as once I requested the bill, whiplash again, but that was fine as you want the bill quick to catch your flight. As I said nice and bright, lots of tables so I think you should almost always get a seat, they have a bar area also. read more

We had a couple hours to kill and stopped in at this spot as our Priority Pass had partnered with this restaurant. We were seated quickly and ordered the fish and chips as well as the chicken superfood bowl. Both entrees came out quickly and were delicious! If you have Priority Pass, there is a $28 (I think?) credit for yourself and a guest. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat although it is a bit pricey. read more

Quite nice atmosphere for an airport restaurant. The South terminal is unpleasant and crowded, and Grain Store is a respite. Ordered a full English and cappuccino for 14 pounds -- reasonable considering many places in London will charge that amount and this is an airport. Very much appreciated that they had proper poached eggs, many places do not offer anymore. Staff kept up with the brisk pace but didn't make me feel rushed. Felt very professionally run. Would not hesitate to return. read more

When I'm flying out of Gatwick and have a little extra time I always try to visit The Grain Store for a quick meal. With Priority Pass you get 15£ towards your bill. This is enough for many of the meal options plus a drink. My go to is the vegetarian breakfast and a cappuccino. Neither is ever superb, but when I consider it's "free" it tastes a little bit better. read more

When all around is loud and seeming chaos, when the airport lounges are full and inaccessible, when seats in the main waiting area are hard to find, then Grain Store Cafe is a perfect oasis of calm, with friendly waitstaff, efficient but not rushed, a just right menu, superfood salad and minestrone soup, with a glass of beer to go with. I'd go back anytime when in Gatwick. The 15 pounds discount through priority pass was welcome, and made the meal very affordable. And, for added interest, those chopping boards on the restaurant wall near the bar, in 3 rows of 9, how would _you_ arrange them? A large space, double the area around the corner. read more

I was fooled by the branding and name. Ordered the avocado smash and it was terrible. Stick to a fry-up here.

Nice place! Plenty of plugs to charge your electronics while eating. We have Priority Pass and they will give you a £15 credit per person if you use it here! I had the mushroom risotto and my hubby had a burger with fries. Our bill came out to £28.45, so we didn't have to pay a thing! Pretty great deal if you ask me! Food was really good too! read more

Large, airy dining room. Friendly staff (our Romanian waitress Alina was very efficient).

Love this place! We had the best server ever... her name is Michelle Powers and she rocks! She remembered my cousin because my cousin came here three times! The food was amazing! I was stuck between two choices... Pulled Pork and Vegetable Lasagna or The Super Food Bowl. I choose the Lasagna which was heaven on earth! And then had my last Pimms Lemonade (because we don't have them in the states I don't think...). To round it all up, I had the most beautiful Lemon Tart. Heaven! Strongly suggested! Not to mention the atmosphere is so posh! read more

Food wasn't bad but service was terrible. There were 3 of us eating, I ordered a burger and the other two avocado toast. My burger and one toast came out quickly, but the other was nowhere to be seen. We asked for the missing toast to go as we were on a time crunch and it still took another 20 minutes to get it. We were charged for poached eggs on the second toast even though we didn't order them, when we mentioned it to the waitress she claimed we did. Not wanting to miss our flight and not minding the egg we paid the bill and rushed to the plane, finding there was no egg after opening the takeaway container. There also wasn't any utensils or napkins in the bag. If you want some decent food, have plenty of time, and don't mind arguing with a waitress this isn't a terrible choice. read more

My wife had a coffee here. The staff was kind. We sat around killing time waiting on a flight. Very clean and plenty of room to sit down.

It's in an airport so you know it's not cheap, but the prices aren't obscene. The food quality however was fantastic. It was like a real made to order restaurant, not the quality I expect from an airport. Added bonus, if you have priority pass and American Express platinum, you get a £15 credit per person! I was very happy with this establishment. read more

My expectations for airport restaurants and bars are fairly low. The service here is fairly fast but based on my experience at the bar, I will never return. The bartender didn't seem to know basic drinks. I asked for Glenmorangie and the bartender gave me an empty stare. There's about 20 different bottle of alcohol sitting at the back of the bar. As a bartender at least try to remember them. I had to point it out to him which one it was when he told me that they don't carry it. The bar was dirty and wet through the entire time I was seated there. No one bothered to clean it up. Look at the photos that I posted. The bartenders are happily gossiping about each other's lives loudly while working. read more

Five stars for decor. The tables are comfortable, restaurant is open, clean. Plenty of food options on the menu, vegetarians included. I got the beetroot and salmon salad and it sounded a lot better than. It tasted. The service was good, pleasant but the food won't warrant a return visit. read more

Dreadful service. We were greeted and seated promptly, however, our waitress was unfriendly and rude. The place was busy but our food arrived promptly and was lovely, however, our drinks arrived after our food. No condiments on the table so had to ask for them once the food arrived and then wait to receive them. Waitress had disappeared when we finished so we asked someone who appeared to be a manager for the bill, instead of bringing us it himself he had our waitress do it so we waited ages once again to receive it. We were standing waiting to leave and she put it on the table and walked off without a word. In an airport prompt service is an absolute must and we should never have been seated if they didn't have the capacity to serve us. read more

I was here a few weeks ago while traveling back to the US. I had about a 7 hour layover so I had plenty of time to check out ALL the food options there. Probably one of your better options there. I had the Thai Green Curry Coconut Rice and it was delicious! I ended up taking part of it on the go in order to make my flight... there was no way I could miss this flight since there is only one flight to Boston that day. Overall, I was pleased especially since I had a mediocre meal earlier at another place at the airport. I'm a fan! read more

A friend and I were flying back from the UK and fancied something a bit nicer than your average sandwich. We didn't know the Grain Store beforehand, just thought it looked nice. The food was absolutely amazing! It was clear that a lot of effort had gone into presentation as well and it gave the whole meal a sense of occasion. I had the fish and chips (super pretty, came with edible flowers and a lemon ketchup) and my friend had the vegetarian burger. The desserts were fantastic as well - little elderflower spheres that burst when you bite into them and lemon posset. The staff were some of the friendliest I've met recently. Absolutely not what we expected from airport food, but so glad we went. Also, they have a very clear allergen menu with details of all the major allergens in each dish. read more

Very nice cafe. Extra polite and careful service. Spacious. Had coffee and some pastry, it was good.
