New openings: Jamie lands at Gatwick, second for Honest Burgers

The Gatwick launch is Jamie Oliver’s biggest site to date, covering 6,000 square feet, and also becomes the largest at the airport. The restaurants will be open from the first flight of the day to the last. Oliver said: “Opening this restaurant in the airport is a new and exciting step to take. Whether you want to dine in the Italian, grab food for the flight from the bakery or savour some good old Blighty grub before you het off, this is something really special, just for Gatwick.” Jamie’s Italian has meanwhile continued its brand extensions by opening its first deli at its Cheltenham branch. The Milsom Place venue offers takeaway dishes and a meat counter.
