Shake Shack Gatwick Airport: A Subdued Impression Before Take-Off
We stopped into Shake Shack at Gatwick Airport for a late lunch before our evening flight, hoping for the same amazing experience we've had with the brand in America. Unfortunately, what we found felt distinctly "very British" in a way that didn't quite live up to expectations.
The burgers were notably thin and, frankly, didn't leave much of an impression. Similarly, the shake, which is usually a highlight, lacked the vibrant flavors we've come to expect. The crinkly chips were decent enough, but overall, the meal left us with a rather subdued feeling.
Given that there isn't a McDonald's at Gatwick Airport, it's a bit of a shame that Shake Shack, a brand with such a strong international reputation, didn't quite hit the mark for us here. It served its purpose for a quick bite, but it certainly didn't deliver the memorable experience we've enjoyed elsewhere.
