Restaurants at the Gatwick Arora Hotel

Where breakfast starts at six and dinner runs till ten

The Arora Gatwick has dining options to suit all moods and budgets, from affordable family dining to a romantic meal for two. For formal lunches and dinners, the Gallucci restaurant offers a quiet environment and extensive Italian menu; for laidback dinners Morgan's Pub has a menu of pub grub classics and beer on tap; and for relaxed snacks at any time of day the Palm Deli serves up a simple range of sandwiches and pizzas.

Gallucci

The most stylish place to eat at the Arora Gatwick is the Gallucci restaurant, which has a modern, open-plan feel yet manages to maintain an aura of privacy with its cleverly placed wooden walls, plants and central banquet seating. Booking in advance is recommended.

Breakfast – Gallucci serves a hot and cold buffet breakfast each morning, including sausages, bacon, mushrooms and eggs, as well as fresh fruit, a range of Kellogg's cereals and an array of tasty pastries. There's unlimited fresh orange juice from the self service machine and coffee and tea are served at the table.

Lunch and dinner – Gallucci serves the same a la carte menu for both lunch and dinner, which features a selection of classic Italian dishes with a modern twist created by eponymous chef Omero Gallucci. The dining style is Italian so start with an antipasti such as bruschetta or soup of the day, before ordering a pasta or risotto, a pizza or a meat or fish dish. We particularly recommend the fillet steak (filetto di manzo), which is expertly cooked and is well matched by the green beans and cured pancetta from the list of side dishes (contorni). For dessert it has to be tiramisu, washed down with a cup of the black stuff from specialist coffee roasters Coffee Real.

Gallucci also offers a fixed price menu of either two or three courses. Dishes are selected according to what’s in season at the time and the price makes this an excellent value for money option (£16.50 for two courses, £19.50 for three).

Morgans Pub

Leaving for sunnier climes? Get a final dose of home in this traditional pub, complete with pool table, darts board and fruit machine. Get cosy in a booth, bag a table by the window or sit up at the bar and chat to the friendly staff.

Dinner – All the popular pub grub favourites are on the menu at Morgans, including lasagne, fish and chips and slow roast belly of pork. Choose from homemade potato wedges or thick cut chips on the side and finish with something sweet – choose from chocolate truffle torte, apple tart or pecan and toffee cheesecake.

Palm Deli

Flooded with natural light, the Palm Deli and Bar occupies the entire central area of the ground floor, extending behind the lobby to the outdoor terrace the other end of the building. Spacious and open, it is a relaxing place for everything from a morning coffee drunk lounging on one of the sofas to a nightcap enjoyed while perched on one of the upturned palm-shaped seats and is a hive of activity at all hours of the day.

All-day dining – The Deli serves a simple menu of standard dishes including burgers, sandwiches and wraps. There’s also a range of stone-baked thin crust pizzas – toppings include goats cheese and rocket, and spicy salami and black olive. Throughout the day you can also indulge with a selection of tasty cakes and pastries, including muffins, biscotti and amaretti biscuits. The coffee(from Coffee Real) is particularly good here, and is also taken very seriously. You can choose from a selection of different blends from around the world offered as drip-blend filter coffee and accompanied on the menu by tasting notes. If you’ve always wanted to try El Salvadorian coffee now’s your chance!
