Five colleagues and I, at the end of an amazing week at a work conference, we're in desperate need…read moreof some food. Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

I saw the reviews on Yelp and was a little worried. But decided to give it a try. I ordered the beet burger with onion rings. I was not a fan of the beet patty. It tasted gross. The guacamole and other ingredients were fresh though. My fiancé ordered the fish and chips. It was amazingly good!!!! You get a huge piece of fish and the batter is so tasty! And crunchy! Mmm it was so good that I grabbed an order of fish and chips to go! And while going through airport security, they asked me what smelt so good in the box lol I told them fish and chips from Nick's!

Ordered a margarita pizza a few days later and it was burned and had no basil. Kind of odd that it just came out with no basil and burned.

Lupack spreadable too whatever that is. Good deal for the price. They're willing to make things right.

We spent one night at a hotel near Gatwick Airport and needed a good place to eat, drink, and be…read moreless grumpy. We had been traveling all day and two of the three of us were very sore and all of us were exhausted. We had no car and our hotel restaurant was over priced, and previous experience with food at other hotels convinced us not to even try to eat the over priced items at the hotel. An English friend back in the US had recommended we eat at Weatherspoon's pubs, which share common ties to the Weatherspoon management, but go by unique names under the Weatherspoons brand. Weatherspoons branded pubs can be found by Googling Weatherspoons or by checking the company website, which will give you the unique names of all of the Weatherspoons near your location. They are all over the UK. We ate at four Weatherspoons in our trip, and they were all good. They are all pubs. Instead of a server taking your order at your table, you pick a table, decide what you want, then order and pay at the bar and they deliver your food at the table. There seems to be a standardized menu, but it seems that some have bigger menus than others, but the pub operational procedures, quality control and core menu offerings seem to be standardized within the brand. We did not see obvious tourists at any of the Weatherspoons, so the prices are not artificially inflated and the food is not a caricature of what people in the UK eat. They open for breakfast and are open until late at night. You can eat full meals there, including the classic English breakfast as well as the classic American breakfast. Pizza was available at at least three of the four we ate at. There is exceptional variety in the menu. At this particular Weatherspoons, called Jack Fairman, I had the small fish and chips. It was NOT overbreaded or greasy, it was delicate, cooked until just flaky but not overdone. The fish tasted fresh. It was very very tasty. They had a big binder that gives nutrition and allergy information for every single item on the menu, which was very helpful for a member of our traveling party who has two food allergies. Just request the allergy binder. The pub is well decorated with relaxing, casual ambience. There is a fireplace mantle with easy chairs by it that look very cozy and inviting. Everyone there seemed to be having a relaxed time together as if they were visiting with friends in their own homes. The bartender was very congenial and warm; service was quick and accurate. We were very very pleased to find out that this exact Weatherspoons was like a second home to our English friends, a place where many many family meals and celebrations took place when they lived in Crawley England. They were thrilled when we told them where we had eaten. Jack Fairman's restored our sanity and group morale at the end of an exhausting trip to Europe that was not actually a vacation, and was really quite stressful. We left with very fond feelings for this place because we were so exhausted and upset when we arrived-- and we left fully relaxed and restored. Thank you Jack Fairman's for a wonderful relaxing evening at the end of an extremely difficult day.

It's like watching a west end farce as they throw themselves busily and pointlessly around the restaurant trying to make space for the incoming hordes, totally missing that it's going to end in tears if they don't actually serve some of the existing customers first. It's like it's a big surprise to them that they are going to be busy. On a positive note, the diner style menu has a good choice of food for all tastes, the cooking's formulaic but edible and the portions are filling. As I sit here with apparently loads of time to fill before I get any food at all, I thought I'd pass on some top tips for dining here on your travels: 1) Don't fly from Gatwick anyway! It's one of the worst UK airports with a decaying infrastructure and poor service at the best of times but it easily cracks under any pressure with long lines for everything and the staff running around doing headless chicken impersonations 2) If you have to fly from Gatwick, eat before you go.You would think an airport fighting for customers in the current market would have some sort of quality control over the services it provides to its customers but, apparently,judging by the awful choice of the catering concessions (all food for Chavs) the job has apparently been given to a work experience student who goes home every night to mum's fish fingers and oven chips and would not recognize a good meal if it had a sign on it saying "good meal". 3) If you end up in Garfunkel's, which to be honest is actually the best of a bad bunch, make sure to ask the clown with the spinning bow tie and flappy shoes for your check when he/she eventually brings your main course or you will wait forever 4) a special tip for my friends from the USA, stop rewarding bad service!The lady traveller from California on the next table to me was almost in tears waiting for her meal yet still felt she should reward the person who brought her so much stress with a 20% tip. In Europe, we expect good service, tip for outstanding service and punish bad service 5) For the Brits of the younger, wannabe American generation who did the same, STOP IT! Anticipating the usual messages from fellow Yelp!ers questioning my expectation of decent food at airports (you know who you are :-), it's that attitude that has got us what we have today. The campaign continues! :-)
