I was surprised to find Warren's Bakery off-the-grid at London Gatwick North Terminal in Horley…read more Catching a puddle jumper to Roma, I find myself at Gatwick one early morning, and in search of a bite. Several options, but I notice Warren's Bakery and with a line too. I'll have a go... I decide to give Warren's a try as I stand in line and peruse the menu. Heck, why not just look in the case instead. Lot's of choices but I choose the meatiest looking bite - The English Breakfast Stack Roll (5.99£). I choose the most chocolatey - The Chocolate Croissant (2.10£). I choose the fruitiest - Mango Passion Smoothie (2.99£). That's my English breakfast to start my day before I slay the day in Roma. The cashier was very polite and cute AF Hermione Granger sorta way. I grab a seat... As I truly enjoy my very hardy breakfast I couldn't help but google "Warren's Bakery" website and it starts of... "Our story began 160 years ago in St Just, Cornwall, with a shared love of baking between a farmer's son and baker's daughter. The Warrens Bakery recipes have been passed down generation after generation, and are still in use today. If you walk into one of our shops 160 years later, you'll still enjoy the fresh smell of Traditional Cornish Pasties baking in the oven. Warren's Bakery, Since 1860." Whoa! Talk about English lineage! All in all, I enjoyed my breakfast at Warren's Bakery. I paid about 11£ (approx $13.70 usd) total for a hardy bite. Not too shabby being at an airport. Alas! ...I didn't get to meet the baker's daughter! However, I did get a smile from cute AF Hermione Granger! Wingardium Leviosa! Ta! Ta!

English breakfast time!!!…read more 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.

It was a member of staff in another shop that recommended this place and boy was she right. They were just so helpful and had samples of colour dust etc so you could try the colours. I am no expert but they were so approachable and gave me tricks of the trade and really good tips on how to use things from the larder although they have a terrific range of reasonably priced stock in the shop. I can't thank them enough for all their help & encouragement. They make the most amazing cakes for Weddings, Birthdays, Christmas etc. I also saw some wonderful Chocolate Shoes !!!!! amongst their Chocolate creations. I have overheard them giving the most intricate advise on how to make a wedding cake to someone doing DIY but they will make any cake to your own individual specification. They also hold classes. So whether your making it yourself or want something really Special made for your Wedding do visit them, I know they will help.

That said, I managed to get a relatively decent tasting cuppa once the tea leaves were scooped out. The pecan Danish? A little dry but OK. Overall, it's a little pricey too. On the plus side, there's lots of comfy seating, free iced water, the sandwiches look nice although I didn't try them, the staff are friendly, and I found a sneaky power point to charge the phone and do me some Yelping! Overall, it's not a bad place to while away a few hours waiting for a delayed flight.

I had spent the night at Caffè Nero in the departure area before security. Luckily that was open 24/7. Surprisingly though, there was no wi-fi. Don't all Caffè Nero have wi-fi now? When I finally made it through security, I had a quick browse through the shops and went to Apostrophe in the departure lounge. I had never been to one but they certainly had the nicest looking sandwiches by far so I gave it a shot. I took a ciabatta with ham, mustard, cheese and dried tomato. I also ordered a hot chocolate. The toasted ciabatta was brought to me quite quick and I was happy to get a delicious breakfast. The hot chocolate was amazing. I don't actually know how to describe it but it was basically pure chocolate. Perfect! What I liked particularly about Apostrophe was the fact that they have jams on the tables, ketchup, mustard, pepper ... and lemon water for everyone to take. It was also fresh and delicious. This little extra allows me give Apostrophe five stars. Hardly any high street brand has such good food, drink and also some free extra treats around.

Being right in the Town centre has many advantages as it is easy to get to it. The staff is always friendly and their prices are really good. I would recommend this to those who might be passing by and want a quick bite without spending too much. Last time I came here, they had a meal deal, however, this was a while ago so I am not too sure whether they still do.

Life Saver for us!!!…read more After an 11-hour flight, we were exhausted. We found the perfect pick-me-up we needed at Caffe Nero. This is a cute little cafe located at the London Gatwick Airport. The staff speak English and are friendly/ nice. They also seemed to be enjoying themselves while working- lots of joking around and laughter. That is nice to see when you are stuck in the airport for a layover. There are tables, chairs and some comfy spots to sit and enjoy your coffee. We ordered an expresso coffee and the pistachio coffee. My pistachio coffee was interesting. It was not sweet enough for me. And too strong lol but it had a nice, unique flavor. My fiancé guzzled down his expresso and exclaimed "that was good!" Seal of approval. lol
