Gatwick pub gets set to reopen after £900,000 upgrade

The Beehive, a Wetherspoon’s pub situated landside at the airport’s South Terminal, is to reopen on Monday December 5.

The upgrade – which has led to the creation of 40 new full and part-time jobs – includes the installation of a new bar front, new digital advertising screen, new drinks dispensing system, new floor finishings and new signage.

Improvements have also been made to staff facilities.

The pub’s kitchen has also been upgraded and a pizza oven installed to add Wetherspoon pizzas to the menu. Customers can also use the Wetherspoon’s app to order food and have it brought to their table.
