"Went as a group of 4 for an evening meal which ended up being 3 courses each. Wasn't too busy inside and we had reserved a table anyway although despite saying our name and that we were a 4 (2 yet to arrive), staff repeatedly mentioned someone else's name and that they were a 2??? Got it sorted eventually. Prezzo accepts the Taste card, if you have one, and there were no issues caused by us using this. No outside seating available which was appropriate as it was freezing cold. Looks like they do have this option when the weather is better. Place looked quite clean and well maintained. Service was pretty good most of the time. We had a lot of attention at the beginning and then towards the end but it was in the middle when our food had arrived that glasses went empty and unnoticed. Prices are perfectly reasonable and the portion sizes were as expected. Food was tasty and hot. The vegetarian in our group was initially brought a meat pizza because of staff error and so had to wait for a fresh one to be cooked while everyone else ate. I ordered a Pepsi at one point and instead of getting that, another one of the group was brought a Pepsi Max which she didn't order. Not the end of the world as I just drank that instead, but could be a bigger issue for some. Also they had run out of some desserts that we wanted. So that was a shame. No parking available to due to location on the high street but plenty of paid and sometimes free parking around. Would go again without too much hesitation."

"12 of us went for a work Christmas dinner. Booked by someone else. I was the first person to arrive and was invited to either wait at the table or the bar I decided to get a drink drink first and before I’d finished ordering my drink everyone else started to arrive were told that we had the table for 2 hours. We all went to the table and had sent our food order 2 days before as requested, which they had lost so we then had to order individually from the menu and wait longer for the order to be cooked. The food on the whole was delicious, if I were to be picky the prawns were overcooked but they were still tasty, and everyone else enjoyed theirs. The waitress barely smiled the whole 2 hours we had the table and proceeded to come over with a card reader to ask for payment whilst we were all still eating stating we had 10 minutes! If they hadn’t of lost our order and the service was a little quicker we would’ve finished our food before the allotted time. If this had been the end of the visit the rating would have been lower, but 2 members of bar staff bumped it up. They couldn’t have been better, happy, helpful and highly efficient. We had moved to the bar area and they kept me topped up with iced water all night (designated driver) often coming over and just topping me up. I appreciate Christmas in the hospitality trade is manic at Xmas but rude staff are not acceptable when we spent a lot of money which we all worked hard to earn. It’s also not made clear that there is such a short time limit on the table."

"Remember you will be here for a flight it the food. The purpose of this place is to provide a reasonable fill for a large number of travellers and the odd visitor, who will have no expectation of any form of culinary excellence. What it does it manages reasonably well but there are plenty of areas of concern. You will probably be spending the night at the hotel and won’t be looking for any other overpriced offering elsewhere. When you book you will be offered a ‘meal deal’ great for those with late check ins but the fact is most people are checked in by 7am when service starts. The offer is useless to this large group. For those just wanting an evening meal one has to phone to book not easy in this automated utopia, and put up with the prices which, thought low for the South East, are steep for those from Up North: our bill for 2 courses and 2 rounds of drinks was almost £80 with not only solicitation for a tip but also a charity to whom I do not want to give money. Ugh!I have a particular loathing for Companies that expect me to donate my hard earned cash to their pet charity, especially when, for personal reasons, it is one I would never donate to. The menu is riddled with management speak ‘our take on’i is everywhere as are unnecessary hyperboles that I find off putting. Just write the menu in simple English without the horrid exaggerations. Starters are very limited. For my wife soup was her only choice. My bog standard prawn cocktail was £7 . Portions OK but don’t even dream of asking for anything that is not strictly within the menu. Steaks followed hard to get that wrong but needless to say the chips were frozen and clearly a budget brand. Cooked to our taste. Neither my wife nor I could find any temptation in the dessert menu so we passed. Service appeared manic externally but when it came to our own table was slow albeit friendly. Trying to order a round of drinks was far from easy. Just remember you are being fed as part of a crowd. You are here either for or after a flight in all probability. If you remember this I am nit aware of anywhere preferable in the Gatwick complex but that is not saying much."
