London Pride

I don’t often enjoy food at airport spots, but I was pleasantly surprised by the polite quick service and rather enjoyable full English breakfast I had + the Easy Livin’ pale ale was great, good to have indie beer at an airport gastro-pub. My server was Chiedozie and he was friendly and a great host.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but eating at London’s Pride just made me … happy. We ordered Red Pepper hummus (got it the last time too - recommended!) and the Chicken biryani (Freddie Mercury tribute <3), which felt homemade. When we also had the friedliest waiter, Chiedozie, who made us feel at ease and seen throughout the meal - well - here i am, reviewing.

Stranded at Heathrow Airport for a grueling 6-hour stretch, our hunger led us to London's Pride where a welcoming presence named Iwona greeted us with genuine warmth. Her hospitality was the shining beacon that prompted my 5-star rating. Amidst fatigue and crankiness, an affable greeting from a stranger can work wonders. The food surprisingly materialized just a minute after our order, and though pre-made, the flavors were undeniably satisfying. However, it's worth noting that our bill tallied up to 30 pounds, making it a relatively pricey option for pre-prepared fare. A special acknowledgment goes to Iwona for significantly brightening the experience for those confined to the airport's confines.

Superior airport pub in Terminal 2 (past security, upper level). Comfier than most such establishments at the airport (generous layout, comfortable seating), this place is - as the name suggests - a pub run by Fuller's Brewery of London (now, alas, owned by Asahi). Beer range includes typical Fuller's favourites (like ESB), and guest cask and keg ales & lagers, well-kept. Better than average food at elevated prices. Very good and friendly service. Had the All-Day Full English, which was of solid quality but expensive (expect about 100% mark-up from he same high street establishments). Eggs prepared to your liking. Busy but not loud. I'd warmly recommend this place to all Star Alliance customers waiting for their flight. Dropped in there a second time in August. Nothing new: same friendly and efficient service, very busy this time around, same solid if overpriced food and drinks. Had a sandwich there, plus a mixed salad, and Fuller's lovely Bengal Dancer IPA from the bottle (UKP 6.40).

We enjoyed our meal at the London's pride a lot. Our waiter Andree is so wonderfully amazing. He gave good introduction for food and drinks. We liked the dishes and beer that he recommended. He is also detail-oriented and brings us hand sanitiser and hot water very quickly. We would like to specially thank Andree for giving us a fabulous ending of our trip to England at Heathrow airport.
