Hawker Bar and Terrace Lounge in Luton

The New, Terminal, Airside, Luton LU2 9LY

About This Pub

Ah, Hawker Bar and Terrace at Luton Airport – it's one of those places that feels like a bit of a mixed bag, doesn't it? On the bright side, when the food hits the mark, it's genuinely enjoyable and gets to your table in a flash, paired with staff who are quick on their feet and full of smiles. The overall vibe is quite nice too, with comfy chairs and tasteful decor that makes waiting for a flight a tad more bearable. But, let's be honest, it's not all sunshine; the food can sometimes feel a bit underwhelming and overpriced, and there have been tales of orders going awry, which might leave you a bit frustrated. Oh, and if you're hoping for an open terrace to relax with a vape, you might be out of luck, as it's not always available and they've got a strict no-go on that front. All in all, it's worth popping in if you're in the terminal and need a sit-down, but I'd say go in with realistic expectations – it's a solid enough spot for what it is, but it won't blow your socks off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food can be a real treat when it's on point, with some saying it's great and served up quickly.
Service is generally efficient and friendly, making for a pleasant stop while waiting for your flight.
The atmosphere is lovely, with comfortable seating and nice decor that gives it a welcoming vibe, especially for a quick airport breather.

Cons

Food can come across as bland and a bit pricey, which might leave you wishing for more bang for your buck.
There have been issues with orders getting mixed up, like servers bringing the wrong items multiple times.
The terrace isn't always open, and with no vaping or smoking allowed, it might not suit everyone looking for a relaxed outdoor spot.
Tables can be left uncleaned, and it seems the staff are sometimes stretched thin, handling everything on their own.

In overall -food is bland and pricey. Ordering food through a QR code is quite easy, and service took 7-8min to have food on the table. Not sure it was staff misunderstanding or people kept ordering food for our table (server came to our table at least 4 times with different food and drinks) but it was uncomfortable and disturbing experience. Drinks (hot and cold) were ok, but the food wasn't at all. In the picture you can see "full english breakfast" which wasn't "full" at all. Scrambled eggs were made out of something but deffo not eggs. Mushrooms and onion mash was, for some reason, black. Backon rash dry. I would give a 5/10 for full english and 5/10 for backon sandwich (there was sourdough bread and backon rash ONLY). Service itself was ok, servant was polite and friendly with a good manner. Atmosphere was cosy, nice decor. Cleanliness 7/10 In overall fairly good place to have a seat while waiting for flights. If you found my review helpful -please 👍🏻 LIKE IT. Have a pleasant flight ✈️

The terrace isn't even open. And apparently even when it does open, it's no vaping (or smoking)!!!! There goes one of my best flight delay memories from 2021..... 7 hour flight delay (or for Wizz Air, an on time flight) saved because I could vape outside and have great British humour with others in the same boat. Now everyone is pandering to the non vaping/smoking crowd 😭 what's the point of the outside space then hmmmm

Popped into this little bar on my way to Barcelona! Great little place, beautifully decorated, service was really efficient and friendly. Ordered a latte, which was good. Delivered very quickly and all with a smile. Would recommend a stop by on your way! Thanks!

The atmosphere is nice and the chairs are comfortable if you are waiting for a flight. The outside is nice for fresh air. The food is average for airport. There was one poor girl handling all the tables, many were uncleaned. Ordered at the bar and food came out reasonably quickly.
