My wife went to Starbucks car park, Southgate Park, Stansted Airport to get a coffee as my flight got delayed. She parked at Starbucks car park for 26 min, but Starbucks was already closed that time. MET Parking services sent parking charge notice as she was not considered a customer as Starbucks was closed. The parking fee notice board clearly says 60 min free for customers. She did not know that once Starbucks closed, she had to pay from the minute she parked. Be careful, MET Parking Services must have raised millions from people simply displaying misleading information.

Do not go here when leaving the airport MET Parking services now own the carpark they are thieving scam artist, parking is meant to be free for customers but its not. when you receive a parking fine and show proof of using the facilities they still charge you and threaten with court.

We stopped here for a quick McDonald’s late one night after a flight home. The car park is a bit of a pain but we had our McDonald’s and it filled a hole.

Will Never buy anything from McDs even again. Because of MET £60 parking con I must have spent 100s in McDonald's Gatwick but not any more. A fast food company I will not spend a penny at anymore. D Williams.

We opted for the drive through, which was approximately 30 minutes wait. When we got home we were very disappointed as what should have been a quarter pounder was supplemented with a cheese burger. I tried calling but phone just rang of. Poor service. Not offered sauses even the we go 20 chicken nuggets.

The best way to describe this place is disorganised chaos. When you go in, they only have one till if you want to place an order with human contact otherwise you have to use one of their self service points. This wouldn't be a problem if they actually worked correctly and issued tickets with your order number but they don't. Also, the screen showing which orders are being prepared and which are ready is also not working so when an order is ready, someone shouts out the number which when the place is busy, is extremely hard to hear. Add to this the fact that they seem more interested in serving their Just Eat and Deliveroo drivers than other customers and you will see why I won't be wasting my time or money going back.

I fancied something quick and easy and without the hassle of a sit down meal at the hotel. Just a three minute walk along a path that snakes it's way to McDonalds or KFC next door. I ordered using the vertical screen and the burger and fries arrived in good time for me to take away to enjoy back in my hotel room. There is also free dispensers of tomato ketchup and barbeque sauce.

I have a slight gripe with the drive-thru at Gatwick Macdonalds. I'm ordering a Big Mac and a bottle of water, no one else in the drive-thru but still I'm asked to "Can you park up Please" like its some kind of huge order that could take a while (which ofcourse it isn't) I've since learned that there's a particular manager at that branch that likes to make everyone who enters the drive-thru park their cars and wait for someone to bring them their order. The reason said manager does this is quite simply to keep drive-thru wait times looking excellent, and in turn make their shift look good. I consider this cheating! And usually ends up with customers of the drive-thru parking anywhere and everywhere waiting for their order as employees have no idea how full the carpark is when they tell people to "park up please" I wouldn't mind at all if this was implemented with particularly big orders to reduce wait time for everyone else in the queue but, to do this for every single customer is abit outrageous. I'd very much like to see this looked into as I think this manager is abusing their power just to make themself look good, and pretty much falsifying actually drive-thru time data which could actually be useful in the long run. Thank you to whoever reads this and I'd live to know if anyone else has experienced this?

Went to order a takeaway at the till however staff were soo busy chatting amongst themselves and unaware of my presence at the till. As I had a special request for the drinks I wanted to order at the till but was latter told to order at the self order screen as I was paying by card. Please refer to camera's if want to verify. I was shocked to find a metal piece in the french fires that my toddler was eating. The metal was small enough for any child to swallow. Please see pics attached. I believe it could be from the fryer basket/scoop or other metal equipment used in the kitchen. Hope this is taken seriously as this is a concern of health and safety.

Popped into the McDonald's at Gatwick and ordered a cheeseburger, fries, coke and a Malteasers McFlurry. Everything was fantastic. Hot, crispy fries, warm cheeseburger with lots of cheese and the coke was fizzy and tasty. It was hot yesterday and the McFlurry was fantastic to cool me down. Only criticism - those awful straws for the drinks. Bring back plastic ones - there must be some that are sustainable, rather than this thick mush of paper.

Burger at Gatwick south ended up costing me £50 because Mcdonalds employ Rip off parking management and wont take responsibility for their actions. Appealed to the branch (feedback relavent to the branch service) but they were really rude putting the phone down. At the exit barrier if you havent got your ticket validated (which you may not be expecting as youre primary thinking is visiting a resurant not a restricted car park) they let you out without any proper warning knowing you will get fined. Beware!!

Our family visited McDonalds after a flight from Iceland. We were all really hungry after the flight and wanted something quick before a drive to the country side. So we stopped at the Golden M. The food was okay and came fast and we were all happy when we hit the road. This was in May 2018. In August 2018 my parents ad brother got a letter from some collecting agency claiming they owed 100 pounds each for a violation of parking from McD. They clearly stated we were not to call but could send them emails but just recommended we pay the fine. Sounds dodgy enough? After some correspondence where we obviously told them we would never pay this made up fine they just increased the amount to 160. No signs, no communication from the McD staff about validating tickets, nothing. I called the manager and she said that a different company handled the parking for them. "You have to talk to them." How?Look out for this hassle if you decide to pay them a visit. It is never enjoyable to receive foreign letters from "lawyers" about claims.

Use there car park and don't get your ticket validated you will be hit with a fine!! The McDonald's staff won't prompt you about this and there is and button to let you out on the mashine don't press this!! I though the ticket was faulty or something was up with the mashine as my ticket came back out so like a lot of people would I pressed the button to get assistant and the gate open I drove off and didn't think anything of it only to get hit wilth a £50 fine. You won't be able to talk to a human about your issue they will only contact though email. If you don't aggre with there first response, you can appeal further with the risk of paying £100

Unless you validate your ticket inside the restaurant, when you get to the barrier, if you press the wrong button, the barrier WILL lift but you will then receive a £ 100 or £ 50 ticket in the post.

I’m writing this review now , because today I’ve finally received decision on my parking appeal. It’s not in my favor. There is cowboy company with very questionable tactics operating on Gatwick Mc Donald’s car park. If you prepare to pay fee for your meal + £100 on top of it for your parking then good luck . Whatever happens when you trying to exit the car park through exit barrier, do not push communication button. It’s a £100 trap.

McDonald's is not well advertised but is a great choice for a meal if you are staying at the hotels local to the airport. It's especially handy for the Hilton Gatwick South terminal and of course the bloc hotel plus those near the north terminal if you don't mind the bit of travelling/walking. The thing is the hotel restaurants are quite expensive for some families on a budget so McDonald's is a great quick alternative. To access it from the south terminal my advise would be to walk and follow the signs for the Hilton hotel from the south terminal. Go down the corridor into the actual Hilton hotel and walk out the back entrance (past the restaurants and down a smal escalator). Walk out of the hotel and turn immediately left and cross the road in front of you and McDonald's is just round the corner to the right behind some large trees.

We arrived back in the UK and went into this McDonalds. It is really well situated as you come out of the South Terminal. The only negative I have about this is that there is a clear sign advising you to take your parking ticket into the restaurant to get it verified before leaving, but whilst we were there so many people didn't do this then when they tried to exit the car park they got stuck at the barrier. It is clearly displayed what you need to do and I totally understand why they do this, to ensure people are not using their car park for a short stay. Overall it is great as the location is perfect and the food is just like any other McDonald's.

At 23.00 on a Sunday night you would expect to fly through the drive in but no, it was chaotic, painfully slow to even place an order and then just as agonising to pay and collect the food. It took 20 minutes to get through it so it would have been much easier to park, wander in and out again and avoid the confusing Exit process where you end up going back around the main car park anyway. The end result was a lukewarm burger that was gone long before the frustration eased. Won't be going back but, if you do, make sure you park up and go inside rather than be left disappointed.

One of the Managers at the restaurant was a very pleasant chap to talk to, very polite and very helpful with my problem/enquiry.*Marcin, his name, going by his name badge.The problem I had was that I wasn't sure what was going on with the parking in the car park, as the barriers were up and wasn't sure how to register my vehicle. He informed me that the barriers were out of action at the moment, so there was no need to worry about it.From what I could see, when ordering and waiting for my food, was that Marcin runs a tight ship and has everything highly organised, doing so in a polite and courteous manner with his staff.Thank you very much McDonalds, I enjoyed my meal and enjoyed the service I got from Marcin even more. Cheers!!

First rule of Drive-Thru is get the order right, then do it quick and remember the sauces!Treated the kids on a Christmas night. Drive Thru was not too busy, but car park was rammed, and when we had to wait for our order we found the holding bays full already (people eating not waiting) and so did a circuit round the petrol station before waiting awkwardly by the disabled bays.Food (simple order: happy meal, wraps etc) took longer than expected to arrive and after I drove off my children discovered their sauces were missing; with young children that ruins their entire meal! Fortunately I hadn't got beyond the petrol station so doubled back through the Drive Thru and picked some up; I got the impression it wasn't an isolated incident.Food was standard McD fare so fine in moderation but getting a Drive-Thru order wrong is inexcusable as you usually can't just go back to the counter.

Haven't been here for a good few months, despite being very close. Friends were coming into Gatwick so whilst waiting we dropped into the McD's. Car park seems to be smaller & definitely more crowded than previous: all seemed to have been refreshed. Similar inside, the new tap screen ordering system & numbered collections. New furnishing including a long table with 4 fixed tablets for customers use. Built in wi-fi. I believe they must have rebuilt the toilet facilities because these today had no issues .... Everywhere else clean & tidy. Nice burger & fries too. Trust I won't have to meet another delayed plane for some time.

This is a typical McDonald's with good service from the staff when served.The Gents toilet is probably the smallest in any McDonald's that you will ever find as entering and exiting is an issue if there is more than one person!The Car Park is often littered with rubbish and uneaten food from the Restuarant even in the early hours of the morning which is not ideal and not a good advert for this chain.Beware as you can only stay here for a maximum of 60 minutes as your license plate is recorded by the McDonald's car park management company - again not an ideal situation for a McDonald's but expected.A quick coffee or a bite then this place is ok but don't stay too long!!!!

You know what you expect when you get into McDonalds. So this rating applies to the ambience and the overall experience. Located a mere few steps outside the airport and close to the M23, this is turning out to be our go to place on our way out of Horley. Staff and service levels are good (as expected)The only negative here is that the drive through tends to cut through where people enter and exit, so it is a bit scary (both as a driver and as a pedestrian)

I am a middle-aged, educated, company director who occasionally rides a motorbike. A Harley Davidson. I have ridden bikes since I was 16, right up until this mid-life crisis.Although a while ago now, I was riding home, on my own, from a meeting in Brighton one cold, wet, and rainy evening and I REALLY needed a cup of coffee to warm me up. I pulled into the Gatwick Airport McDonalds at about 10-00pm and noted that it was quite empty except for a few diners inside. As I was parking my bike and removing my helmet a soggy gloves I noticed some hurried activity in the front lobby. Approaching the door I noticed a member of McStaff was hurriedly locking the door and gesturing at me to go away. "What?... Why?" I asked the man. He replied that motorbikers had to use the Drive-thru and eat outside. "No bikers ... No bikers" he kept shouting, and pointing to the picnic tables outside in the pouring rain.Long story kept short, and an exchange of expletives I was forced to leave, still cold and wet. I wrote to the McHead-Office with my complaint, asking their policy on motorcyclists.A few weeks later a reply. No, they have no rules to ban motorcyclists of any age, creed, colour, religion, or description and that this must be an isolated case. In compensation a £5 voucher was included.Would I ever use it? No, NEVER. And because of this attitude nor will my family or children ever enter a McDiscrimination again. Disgraceful people.

Usciti dall'aeroporto con l'auto ci siamo fermati presso questo McDonald's, non avrei mai pensato di scrivere una recensione su questa catena che comunque è sinonimo di buona qualità, anche se non deve far pensare a cibi fuori dal comune: essenziali e veloci oltre che poco dispendiosi, un rifugio sicuro in tutto il mondo che ha sempre trovato in me un buon cliente soprattutto quando necessitava un pasto veloce. Questa esperienza è stata deludente non tanto per la qualità del cibo, standard, quanto per la confusione che regnava tra il personale (non c'era molta clientela), età media molto giovane, per l'incapacità di servirci correttamente, forse anche grazie alle nostre difficoltà nell'esprimerci in lingua locale, e soprattutto per l'arroganza di una ragazza che sembrava avere "un grado in più" nei confronti di chi faceva il possibile per servirci e, sempre da parte sua, per l'atteggiamento quasi scocciato nei confronti dei clienti (noi). Da non ripetere!

Seven at night, not enough staff, those on poorly trained. Ordered a Chicken Indian, took 15 mins cold when arrived. worst experience from a McDonald's.

At what point do the staff not understand the meaning of fast food. If you are going on a 2 week holiday and are hungry order your food at the drive through prior to your holiday. Go away have a great vacation. Come back to Gatwick McDonald's and pick up your order knowing that it will be ready and warm to eat. Need I say more. You have be warned.

This is a standard McDonald's Restuarant as one would expect from the chain which serves the standard fare.It is as good as others that you would visit and not any worse.

Came here very early in the morning after a flight home from holiday. Staff were quick food was delivered fast and efficiently. Food tasted as every McDonald's does. Clean restaurant in typical McDonald's decor.

Went to collect the in-laws on Thursday AM, didn't want to make them get the train or bus (im a good son in law......most of the time) lol.Kids came with me and it was a fairly early one, so they wanted something to munch. My daughter had a sausage and egg muffin, while my son had 2 hash browns (he loves them) along with a milk too.I of course sampled both. Staff were friendly and allowed me to add on 2 latte's at the payment window (for my in laws - see told you I was good).Pleasant experience.

McDonald's are pretty much the same wherever you are, that's one of the appeals, convenient, quick, you know what you're getting. We must of gone in at a bad moment or on a bad day they seemed to be getting everyone's orders wrong and whilst we were waiting for our order (that was also wrong they forgot to put the cheese on) the staff were getting annoyed with each other. One actually shouted at another for helping one of their colleagues out when they didn't think they did enough work to warrant help.

It's a McDonalds and it's okay. Plenty of outside seating if the weather is okay. If only they could stop the taxi drivers using it as a "Free" short stay car park. This would then allow genuine customers to park in the car park. The picture I have put on is the car park and only 10 or so customers were in the restaurant.

On our return from an excellent holiday , a big mac seemed to be the perfect way forward .The queue was long for the drive through , so went inside to get a take out . As drive through equally as busy , but hey here now .Only one girl on the tills , same girl getting orders , same girl giving orders out .You don't have to be of management material to realise that this is not working .At least half an hour and we eventually have our food , so back to the car and OMG .The meals were cold , the onions had a sour tainted taste to them .I see the meals put on the rack to be served , that should have meant they were fresh , hot and edible. So where were they kept ? why were they cold ? and mores to the point why is that Mcdonalds still serving ?The whole thing should be shut staff fired and a serious rethink before reopening .......

After not being able to get into the business lounge McDonalds was there with predictably good coffee and a fairly decent breakfast. Although very busy there was table availability. Lots of staff cleaning making sure everything was running smoothly.

This is by far the worst fast food sandwich I was ever served. It was flat, stale, had probably been sitting there for hours. The salad leaves were old and dehydrated, there was hardly any bacon in the sandwich. An utter disaster. There were no mozzarella fritters available.I shall need to find another place for a quick fix before a flight from Gatwick South Terminal. I think a visit from health and safety is advisable.It was 4pm, the restaurant was short staffed and there was long lines. Only 4 tills serving.No wonder the business is globally going down the pan.The cleaning staff were charming and the sitting area globally cleaner than usual.

I had breeks days here which was a standards McDonald's. Nothing more or less, it's cheap especially compared to other eateries in the airport. Service was quite slow but it was busy.

Before going on holiday - early flight out at 6.30am.We needed some cheap easy breakfast - bring on the ever reliable double sausage and egg mcmuffin!!Along with the hash brown and orange juice, this was suitably demolished in relatively quick time.What else would people expect?

Yes this is a standard McDonald's within London Gatwick South terminal Airside.As they would be aware that time is of an essence for customers here as they are waiting for flights, the service should be a lot quicker that I found on the visit this time.The food is standard of this restaurant chain but customer service and speed should be looked into.When there are so many other outlets that serve quicker than they do at this outlet, one would think twice about standing in a queue for so long here when limited time is an issue.
