The Red Lion (JD Wetherspoon), Crawley

Very busy airside bar in Gatwick's North Terminal. The main bar area is separated from a much larger seating area by a walkway. I bypassed the main seating area to take a look at the pumpclips at the bar to see if I fancied a drink whilst waiting for a flight. The usual Sharp's Doom Bar & Ruddles Best were on, along with 3 guest beers which appeared to be part of a Wetherspoon's festival. The 3 were Twickenham Autumn Red, Hogs Back Citrus & Hook Norton Off the Hook. Returning to a podium at the entrance to the main seating area, we had to wait a few minutes to be seated and were led to a high table towards the edge of the bar area. We were informed that ordering was by the app. Although I later saw others ordering at the bar, which I wish I had done. My first choice was the Citrus, which tasted nothing of the sort. I then ordered the Off the Hook, which looked and tasted exactly the same. I'm almost 100% sure that I ended up with 2 halves of the Hook Norton beer. A fairly soulless place where the staff clearly get the orders wrong and drinks are overpriced for the captive audience. 3 guest beers was a good sign, but unfortunately the positives ended there.
