Restaurants at the Gatwick Crowne Plaza Hotel

Far from the standard airport fast food

The Crowne Plaza's main restaurant is The Cube, and dark-wood furnishings and unusual pendulum lamps make an elegant setting for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The restaurant's menu is inspired by the Mediterranean and features perfectly-cooked pasta, grills and seafood. We had a simple spaghetti dish, that was still bursting with flavour, and the service was fast and friendly.

Breakfast - The Cube's cooked breakfast includes sausages, bacon, beans, hash browns and all the usual items, as well as extras that can be cooked to order, such as boiled or poached eggs, pancakes or kippers. For lighter options, there are plenty of Continental items like fruit, cereals, pastries and muffins. Breakfast is served from 6am to 10.30am and stays open till 11.30am at weekends.

The Cube bar serves light snacks throughout the day, including muffins, baps, deli sandwiches, paninis and gourmet burgers, along with Starbucks coffee. Elsewhere, the Gallery Sports Bar opens in the evenings and serves a saloon menu of items like burgers and fish and chips.

Room Service - If you'd rather stay in your room, the hotel offers a room-service menu 24 hours a day. The menu includes hot and cold sandwiches, burgers and pasta.
