Sonoma - Gatwick North

Tried the Kimchi Ramen at Sonoma inside LGW. For airport food, this was actually a solid option. It arrived quickly (around 10–15 minutes), was filling, and felt like a much better choice than the typical pre-flight fast food. I paid around £18, which isn’t cheap in absolute terms, but fairly reasonable for an airport sit-down meal. The broth was spicy and warming, and I liked the variety of vegetables included. It felt fresh and substantial, and the portion size was generous. I left full, which was exactly what I wanted before a flight. That said, it’s not a traditional ramen experience. There’s no real aroma oil or richness to coat the palate, so it lacks the depth and mouthfeel you’d expect from a proper ramen shop. I wouldn’t recommend it to food-focused diners looking for authenticity. However, as a convenient, filling airport option with quick service and plenty of seating in a pleasant, airy space, it does the job well. Good airport comfort food — just not destination ramen.

As a pre-flight meal, I decided to try this spot in Gatwick’s North Terminal—and I’m glad I did. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted and promptly seated, setting a relaxed tone before the rush of travel. I ordered the Greenbird sandwich, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The succulent shredded rotisserie chicken was paired beautifully with fresh, ripe avocado slices, peppery rocket, zucchini, and a tangy layer of herby basil. Everything was tucked into a thin, light bread and served alongside skin-on fries. The flavours were fresh and well balanced, and the portions were impressively generous—perfect fuel before a flight. The service was equally enjoyable: friendly, efficient, and attentive without feeling rushed. All in all, a gorgeous pre-flight meal with great service to match. I’d happily return next time I’m passing through.

Had an evening flight to Spain on a weekday, quickly had a coffee and some chips at Sonoma as I didn't have much time. The restaurant gives you a Californian feel with its decor and it looks clean. I was served straight away as there weren't many people when I visited as it was the evening. Staff are friendly and ready to serve. When I visit Gatwick Airport again and have more time, I will have a proper meal. Recommend!

Very good place to stop before your flight. Food was really good my only complaint is I ordered the green green salad which was delicious but way way to much oil (for a 'healthy choice!) however please don't take this away from the overall experience which was lovely. Just a little adjustment and it would have been 5* on our salad choices. Every member of staff I spoke to were really nice and helpful... Great service level... Was a fairly quiet service (Thurs pm) however.... Price wise on the high side but for the quality of the food and start of our holiday... Hey! Definitely worth a stop and soak up the pre holiday vybe..

Arrived to the airport way too early so decided to get a breakfast before my 5h flight. We chose Sonoma as we wererecommended it by a friend. First impression was how lovely the staff was.

Everything about this place is lovely, right from the warm welcome to our table, to the excellent service and delicious food. Elda looked after us very well. We enjoyed our breakfast 🍳

Absolutely excellent. Staff were polite and attentive and genuinely cared about us and our meal. Food selection was great and really pleased there were free range eggs.
