Situated just outside of Crawley, a stone’s throw from the Copthorne Golf Club, is the enchanting Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick. Dating back to the early 19th century, the four star hotel is awash with period charm and modern comforts, with The Lounge Bar showcasing the more casual façade of these facets.
Now accepting the Gourmet Society card, members calling in advance can enjoy everything on the concise, British inspired menu at an excellent price, leaving plenty of left over funds for a few liquid refreshments.
As well as some delicious wines and light sandwiches guests can savour a sumptuous selection of heavenly desserts and hearty main meals. Outstanding examples of the latter include the delectable North Atlantic haddock, fried in a light beer batter and partnered with thick cut chips, and the tantalising sweet & sour Quorn, served with Basmati rice.
Ideal as a spot for travellers to gain some respite whilst sampling British delights, The Lounge Bar at Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick opens its doors to one and all, regardless of whether they’re staying for the night or are simply passing through the area.
