After passing through security the Cabin is the first drinking venue airside at Gatwick. The bar that runs down the left-hand wall faces open plan seating that was busy during a recent Friday afternoon visit. A premium draught selection is stocked, and I counted three hand pumps. One of these was unused and the second was off leaving Greene King IPA as the lone cask ale. I opted for a pint of Stella that set me back £5.60. A standard pub food menu is available; the burgers started at £13. A couple of TVs at the rear were airing muted rolling news and there was some barely audible background music playing. I found the service to be polite, but the major draw was the availability of a plug socket to charge my phone. The sockets around the side walls were not powered, but the two on the front pillar were working. There are currently five airside drinking venues; I would put the Cabin in third place.
