Over two floors, the Camden has lots of open plan seating that has been shoehorned in between the serving counter up the left-hand wall and stools along a beer shelf that runs up the mirrored right-hand wall. Stairs at the rear climb to the second floor where more open plan seating is bookended by another serving counter, this time up the right, and booth seating up the left-hand wall. Across the rear are large floor to ceiling windows with decent views of the aircraft movements to and from the runway outside. Premium keg was available alongside a couple of Beavertown options across both bars and the food was good, if a little expensive being priced around £20 per main, but then this is an airport so probably not so much. The staff were all polite and service is available from both the serving counters and electronically via a QR code on each table. As a fan of flying machines, the windows in here will be my choice destination when next waiting for a delayed Ryan Air flight.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Camden Bar & Kitchen
Typical airside bar with a poor and expensive selection of mainstream keg beers, and ended up with Beavertown's Bones lager (£7.49) as even the Neck Oil was off. Only plus point is that you can a view across the airport if you manage to find a window seat.

On the airside of Stansted Airport, this is a typical airport restaurant/bar hybrid that fails to offer a satisfying version of either. One immediately obvious plus point is that the venue occupies its own relatively enclosed space and doesn't spill out onto the concourse like most airport bars tend to. Inside, there's a tile floored room with the servery down the left-hand side and a huge, open plan seating area opposite. The bar has a rough timber fronted counter and tiled bar back with modern metal frame shelving adorned with Camden themed road and tube signs and some large TV screens showing promotional guff. Seating is a mix of tables and chairs, mid-height and high stools and a couple of banquette booths under the stairs, whilst the walls have a brick effect design and some have graffiti style murals and colourful posters, plus another rather stange mural showing the airport's shops and restaurants, several large neon arrows and a large pub logo on the back wall.
There's an open kitchen to the rear right and stairs to the front right head up to more a formal looking mezzanine dining area with views down into the front of the pub.
The bar doesnt stock and cask ale, so I tried the ubiquitous Beavertown Neck Oil on keg, which at £7.49 a pint, seemed eye-wateringly expensive until my plane touched down in Norway and I learnt what an expensive pint really costs! There was also one other Beavertown beer and a Camden option alongside the usual mega-keg brands. The place was packed, mainly with diners, and the service was beyond stupid, with loads of bored looking staff shuffling about doing nothing and a lone barman working at rapid pace to keep up with the long queue that staff insisted was formed along the length of the bar.
No-one goes to an airport expecting to find a mind-blowing pub experience, but we do all hope for a decent pint to send us off on our way. I found this a dispiriting place to spend your final hour on British soil, although the pointless pettiness, lack of planning and low value for money are perhaps fitting ways to remember your stay in the UK. The 'Spoons is just a short walk from this bar and offers a far better experience, so I suspect this will be my first and last visit to this place.
