"Perfect for: anyone who wants a familiar bite from AM to PM Whether it’s a golden glow, warm maroon signage, or the shape of a green burger, the reassuring familiarity of your favourite fast food outlet is always welcome in an airport. The Gatwick North Terminal outpost of Shake Shack is just that and will serve everyone’s needs from breakfast to dinner: to sit in with a crispy patty Shack burger opposite one of the two departures screens, or to swing by and grab a bacon, egg, and cheese before heading straight to your gate. Both are supremely satisfying, gooey creations that can be in your hands in under 10 minutes, and in your stomach in sub-20." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing, daisy meager

"There are Shake Shacks open all over the city and it’s likely Londoners will visit all of them before this one. But this entry, given the chain’s many available openings, is more of a symbol. A symbol of both how far Shake Shack — a U.S. burger monolith but still a relative U.K. upstart — has spread itself across the city, and of the fact that fine, good burgers, and, more crucially, breakfast rolls are now waiting in a place where eating can reach its lowest ebb. Prepare for take-off." - James Hansen
"An airside concession at Gatwick Airport opened in the last week of October through a partnership with TRG Concessions; it is the chain’s eleventh UK site and—once the City of London Mansion House location stops serving breakfast on 12 November—will be the only UK outlet offering the brand’s breakfast. The limited breakfast menu includes three sandwiches (sausage patty, bacon, egg & cheese; bacon, egg & cheese; and egg & cheese), all served on a toasted Martin’s potato roll, a format praised by Eater New York’s Ryan Sutton in 2013 as “the future of fast food breakfast.” The Gatwick opening is the first of several planned travel-hub sites with TRG, which operates other hospitality brands such as Costa, Frankie & Benny’s and Comptoir Libanais, and represents both a commercial coup and a likely draw for travelers—although whether passengers will pay to pass security for breakfast remains uncertain." - Adam Coghlan
"A popular American burger chain is reported to be opening its eleventh UK location as a concession in Gatwick Airport’s north terminal this October (autumn 2019), with operation expected to be handled by The Restaurant Group Concessions. The company declined to confirm the move, saying only that it is always looking for new places to open but could not confirm anything at this time. Having launched its first UK site in Covent Garden in 2013 and proved successful at airport sites such as JFK, the expansion is being framed as an almost inevitable response to London’s historically poor airport dining options and the notable absence of some legacy fast-food brands; commentators view it as part of a broader “fast food 2.0” trend moving into travel hubs." - Adam Coghlan
