Okay, thanks, will give those a look. I'm usually leery of food from
plastic pubs like those, but if you've eaten there and think they're okay,
i'll rise above my prejudice.


To be fair, I find Wetherspoons food acceptable in general. If you
don't, you probably won't like those either.

I see it on the same sort of level as McD's etc, except you get a
better choice and a proper plate/cutlery[1]/glass etc.

On the acceptability of money front, the company will flipping well be
paying for it, since they're the ones dispatching me to the wastes of
Denmark, so price is no object.


If your expenses budget is generous, I imagine you can do a lot better
than the Spoons-a-likes, but I don't go to Gatwick any more often than
I can avoid, so I don't have a lot of experience of those. I've eaten
in the landside Spoons-a-like in whichever terminal it is easyJet use,
FWIW, and it was fine by my standards .

(For those who fly from Luton, the "Est Cafe" is far better than the
self service greasy spoon, and doesn't cost much more...)
