Though I'm addicted to Yelp, this is one of those places that I'm slightly hesitating to share in case it gets too busy! However, I think it's my Yelp duty to share little gems and this place is one of those.
I picked up a friend from Gatwick today but due to good traffic (and my own aversion to being late), I arrived at Gatwick really early. Living as we do in ripoff Britain, there are no cellphones parking lots like they have in the USA and to park in the short stay car park would cost an arm and a leg.
However, on the ring road of Gatwick South terminal, you can find this little McDonald's restaurant and takeaway. You can park in this car park for an hour if you eat here and you can tell from the many cab drivers here that it's a good spot to wait for your flight to land.
The easiest way to get here is to follow signs for South terminal, then cut through the Hilton hotel road and rejoin - McDonalds is just before the BP garage.
There is a takeaway drive thru but I ate in. The McDonald's funky makeover has also reached this restaurant with a tables of various sizes, heights and colours available.
My sausage and egg McMuffin meal filled a breakfast spot.
There's also free wifi at this location, which is useful for seeing if your flight has landed.
Share this tip but not with too many people! Shhhhh! read more
