Nice breakfast spot in Terminal 5 - A gate area. My wife and I both enjoyed the egg Benedict with ham. Really enjoyed it. This place has an extensive menu and a full service bar. Nice thing about this place is it seemed quieter than most places. Service was fine: not to fast or slow.
Airport food is never great, especially with the high prices, usual slow service, and average food even if from a well known chain. Huxley's at the London Heathrow airport was a bit better than average. Giving them 4 stars because we were able to be seated immediately, order quickly, and receive our food within 15 minutes. We all got the Fish and Chips--unlike most of the fish and chips variations I've had, this one was one large piece of fish vs. having 3-4 smaller pieces. The fish was cooked well and the better wasn't too thick! The portion size was good, price on the menu is 14.95 pounds. If I were to come to the airport again, I would probably choose somewhere else. But Huxley's is a safe bet and I can't complain!
For airport food, this is great! Surprisingly, the prices are the same as any pub restaurant in London. I needed one last UK Fish N Chips before heading back to the US and A. The £13 Fish N Chips was definitely better than most in London, though the chips are average. £4ish a pint, but thats also typical London. Even though it was quite busy, the food came out in about 15-20 minutes. Staff is a bit disorganized, but friendly. I'll definitely go back here if I'm ever stuck in Terminal 5 again.
They have typical British food. If you have a few hours to spare and are hungry, this is one of the better options at LHR. Service is a bit better here compared to Gordon Ramsey's but then again, this is a gastropub. Fish and Chips: Beer-battered cod with chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. No fuss, no non-sense, just straight up fish and fried potatoes on a plate. I didn't bother with the peas since I don't like peas. The fish was lightly battered. I've had oily, fishy and just plain bad versions of this dish but Huxley's version was good. 4/5 Roast Topside of Beef: With Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, carrots, creamed leaks and gravy. The beef was tender and the Yorkshire pudding was very nice. 4/5 I was craving for something tart to drink so, I ordered lemonade. I guess they have a different definition of lemonade - what I got was a Sprite! Oh, well...
This was my first English breakfast upon arrival at Heathrow while waiting for a connection. I liked it quite a bit. This is a nice airport restaurant with good service. I'd recommend this for weary travelers.
Huxley's Bar & Kitchen has been good to me. On my way home from the business trip in Italy. Nearly six hours layover at London's Heathrow. So I come to the British pub and bar to get a beer or two while waiting for my next plane, catching a break here. And it was good, the service, my drinks, my smoked salmon salad. I'm enjoying my stay as I type this. A word of wisdom: Expect nothing and accept everything, it makes life so much easier.
Solid place if you happen to be in terminal 5. Far better than I expected for airport food, great way to pass the time until my departure. Lovely waitstaff.
I usually come to Huxleys when I'm in Heathrow Airport. service here is top notch - lax enough to give tired travelers space, but attentive / mindful enough for quick service when you're short on time. There are plenty of tables, and no pressure if you're just looking to sit around for a while during a layover. The menu here is traditional British. Think fish and chips, shepherd's pie, full English breakfast, bubble & squeak, etc. The breakfast, fish and chips, and sirloin steak sandwich are all good, though I occasionally opt for the bacon cheeseburger when the mood strikes. Chips (fries) are always fresh if you need a carb boost before / after your flight. It won't be the most amazing meal you've had, but surprisingly decent for airport food (note: also, tastes better than it looks).
I'm not sure how my cravings line up with society's but after a LA to London flight, all I could think of was getting some cider and English breakfast in me. The security guy told me that Huxley's was the nearest spot to fill my hunger hole so there we went. While we waited too long for our server and our food, I sipped on some delicious Strongbow; http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/6R28I8F5y2-AomndLht_vg?select=FKZJLf3gluse0krRb88LGg#FKZJLf3gluse0krRb88LGg I opted for the Big Breakfast since it came with more meat and no mushrooms. Missing however was some nice blood sausage, oh well. Overall it hit the spot; the bacon was nice and U.K.-ish, the sausages were big and greasy, and the tomato was fun to laugh at for pretending to make the meal healthy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/6R28I8F5y2-AomndLht_vg?select=DkaWTR8ls23dW7_9VRMn9Q#nHr7fGbXqn2AYygHVoUFyA We left full and happy. Pros - food. Cons - service. But in a pinch I'd go back.
Hours according to their web page: Monday - Sunday from 5:30am - to the last departing flight in Terminal 5. According to the site, they've been open for a year. In that year you would think they would get service and food down, right? Wrong. Food was cold. One of the great things about living in Britain was the piping hot food I always got. I guess I was expecting too much for the food to have been piping hot...or even warm. Ordered the Great British Breakfast...and well, there was nothing great about it. I know, it's airport food. But how on earth can you muck up bacon? They did it...by overcooking it - it was dry. The sausage was decent enough, but I truly wish it had more spicing like traditional Brit sausages. The baked beans were ok. The hash brown had clearly seen a better hour. As for the bacon...the bacon. I already said it was awful, but I started the paragraph with the shitty bacon and I'll end the paragraph with the shitty bacon. Service - fast to seat you, slow to serve you. I know that this review won't matter because they have such a huge turnover, but in the time my husband and I sat and waited, we noticed 4 separate families/couples leaving because no one even acknowledged them. One year and this is the best you have to offer in terms of food and service? Maybe I should've gone to the Gordon Ramsey restaurant (where the price of the breakfast was the same as it was here).
Stopped by here during my layover at London Heathrow airport . The external style of the restaurant attracted me . It was like experiencing a little slice of a British cafe . Customer service : customer service here was excellent . The hostess seating me in a comfortable and accommodating spot . My waitress was efficient and attentive .i was thanked kindly after parting . All things I love after dining anywhere ! Food : the menu consisted of typical British foods . A lot of toasts and fish and chips and breakfast items . To start I ordered from the starters section . I ordered a salad with a fish cake . The salad was much smaller than I expected it was practically a side salad . That was fine with me it was just Abbie expensive in my op ion for such a small dish . I was still hungry after this so I ordered the tomato soup . I really enjoyed the tomato soup . It was comforting and and a perfect taste . However I did not like the toast on the side . The toast was a bit too funky for me . I would have preferred just plane bread . The quality of ingredients were very good . As for drinks , they had a pretty wide drink options . I wanted to try a beer but it was a bit too early in the morning for me . Instead I had a tasty glass of prosecco . To be clear I would for sure come back and recommend this lovely little spot to anyone who travels here . It is the perfect place to take a deep breath and enjoy something flavorful before traveling .
Dang, the first thing I wanted to try in London was Fish and Chips. Maybe choosing an airport wasn't the greatest idea of fulfilling this temptation! The fish and breading were tasteless with exception to the grease dripping off the fish. I had to place a napkin under the fish to collect the grease. However I would never have made the effort if I knew i wasn't going to eat the fish in the end. Ever hear of seasoning? Geesh. Moving on The salad was fresh. Just basic cucumber, tomato and spinach with their oil and vinegar dressing. I tried something called squeaky bubbly that was full of flavor it was chopped up veggies onion, cabbage and spinach maybe with some potatoes. It was good and Im glad I got it. I really wanted to like this place but the main course needs to be fixed up for sure.
This place is ok. It's clean, nicely decorated and the service is quick. The breakfast was nice, although the bacon was a bit dry. Had a latte with my full English and couldn't fault it. My partner didn't like his coffee and after tasting it for myself I agreed. It was quite weak.
I never have high expectations for airport food, no matter what country I'm in. Huxley's is one of the common "good but not great" airport restaurants. There's plenty of space, so seating shouldn't be an issue. The food is slightly pricey, but what do you expect in a London airport. I got the fish and chips which were actually decent. Service was okay. Textbook 3-star restaurant. read more
Airport eatery in Heathrow. The food was a shock as first time in London. With that said, I wasn't disappointed, but wasn't impressed for a airport eatery. The prices were on par with airport food. Next time will wait to find eatery in city. read more

Wanted to enjoy something during a layover. Drinks we're good, but a hard pass on the food. Worst Shepard's pie :( burger lacked sufficient amount of sauce and only cooked well-done with no season. read more

Decent place is you want to full english breakfast in heathrow. I had a 3 hour layover on my way to Munich and was really craving a full english. This was perfect for it! Note that you can just sit at the bar without the need of the waitress. There is usually a free seat or two available and you can order food there. I got a full english and a cup of coffee which came to $17 (about 14 pounds) and it was pretty decent. The portions were massive so bring your appetite and service was quick. Pretty decent for an airport bar. read more

Quickie English breakfast before flying out of T5. Service is definitely subpar when you need to wait long time to order or to pay. Food was A-OK, not great but okay for the airport. They managed to have cold Englishman bacon. Sigh. read more

This was our breakfast stop. During our layover we chose a big English breakfast and a Fish and chip. The portions are certainly impressive. The fish was fresh, very meaty and the breading was thick yet not greasy. And yes, not like anything stateside. The breakfast had every some impressive size bangers, a good portion of ham. The potato cakes were really good. But food was otherwise ok. It was rather bland for my tastes. Service was quick to begin with. But a server switch at meal delivery slowed things down. Everything slowed down at that point and caused us to have to dash to meet our departure schedule. Service otherwise good. Chose this one because the menu had more options vs. other airport options and prices were a marginally better in spots. read more
I was wandering London Heathrow Airport after a long overseas flight which included food that was almost uneatable. I ran across this restaurant that looked like it could be on any trendy street catering to foodies. I settled for breakfast even though it was almost lunch because my body clock was still in Eastern time. I ordered the "British breakfast" since I like to fit in . Even though I'm not sure what constitutes a British breakfast, I was starved and it was like comfort food. Friendly and courteous service was welcomed as well! read more

I stopped her from a quick pick me up while traveling to Germany last year. Service was a little slow from what I remember but the drinks were delish. The Bailey's Irish Cream Latte was just what I needed to get going... read more

Had a long layover at Heathrow and this was a convenient place to stop and grab a bite to eat. Got seated right away. Had the fish and chips and kid got the kids pasta. If you've got a hankering for some fish and chips and have a little bit of time before you get on your airplane, then check this place out. read more

The greeting was the best part of my experience. Service was good for me, but I witnessed the person next to me get treated pretty poorly. The fish and chips were pretty greasy but the beer helped. Not bad for airport food. read more
