Food and Drink

Hungry at Luton Airport? There are plenty of options to grab a bite! Whether you're craving a quick snack or a full meal, the airport has got something for all tastes and budgets.

One popular spot is the food court located in the main terminal building. Here, you'll find a variety of fast-food chains and casual dining options. Head to Benitos for all your Mexican favourites, Chopstix Noodle Bar or Yo! Sushi for the Far East experience. Italian food lovers can wander to Nolito for some premium dining including scrumptious pasta, meat and fish dishes along with handmade pizzas or the more laid back Fottorie Garofalo with their buffalo dairy and meat specialities. Around the world without leaving the airport.

Brighten your morning with Breakfast Box who sit alongside other fast-food outlets like Burger King, Bagel Factory, Krispy Kreme, Avalon and Crepeaffaire if time is pressing.

If the traditional British Pub is more for you, The Big Smoke Taphouse & Grill offers you a warm welcome and freshly prepared food including all day breakfasts, DIY tacos and sharing plates along with a great range of wine and beer including their very own Big Smoke Brew Co.

The Smithfield Pub and Kitchen is a classic pub / kitchen offering traditional pub food and drink alongside dishes from across the globe and a large range of real ales and beers from local and regional brewers.

The third pub type offering is the atmospheric Hawkers Bar and Lounge. Tucked away in a corner, it offers a quieter lounge and outdoor space to enjoy away from the hurly-burly of the terminal.

Not forgetting your caffeine fix, where would we be without Starbucks, Caffe Nero, Pret A Manger or Black Sheep. Enough coffee choice for everyone.

So next time you find yourself hungry at Luton Airport, rest assured that there are plenty of options available to satisfy your cravings. Enjoy your meal and have a great trip.

Shopping

If you’re after a bit of retail therapy before your flight, Luton Airport has plenty to keep you occupied while waiting for your gate to be called.

Higher end stores Ted Baker menswear, Kurt Geiger footwear and Boss menswear might be up your street, or the kids may make a bee line for Hamleys toys or JD Sports. Dad and kids could compromise at Inmotion where there is something for all techies young and old.

While you’re telling the kids they can’t have the latest trainers they absolutely need, the ladies can sneak off to Rituals for those essential skin car products and scented candles, find some beach wear in Accessorize and top it off with some new eyewear she didn’t know she wanted from Sunglasses Hut.

Boots, WH Smiths and WH Smith Books are perfect for a bestseller holiday read or some snacky bits for the flight.

Work underway at Luton Airport to further improve the travel experience for all passengers includes a new to storey flagship restaurant with a striking mezzanine floor to accommodate up to 500 diners due to open in Summer 2024 so check back regularly and stay informed about the latest outlets available.
