Restaurant Details

We don't know what's tastier at the Premier Inn A23 Airport Way - the dishes on the restaurant menu, or the great prices. There's a two-course meal deal for £10.99, or you can feast on three courses, plus a drink, plus breakfast for just £22. Only certain dishes are included in the offer, but it's not like the menu's small - there are pub favourites, fish dishes, pasta dishes, pizzas, grills, burgers, salads and steaks. If you're not opting for the meal deal, prices start from £2.20 for a starter, £6.65 for a main course and £3.99 for a dessert.

The children's menu is equally good value, at £3.99 for a main course and 75p for starters and desserts. There's a good selection of dishes, from spaghetti bolognese to chicken curry - and even the most loving parents will find it hard not to steal a bite of their kids' Mini Chocolate Indulgence dessert.

And then, there's the buffet breakfast. There's a huge selection of both cooked and continental items - think vegetarian sausages made with sautéed leek, omelettes, tomatoes, granola, porridge, crumpets and muffins. If you have children under 16, breakfast is free for two of them, as long as they're with an adult who is having breakfast too. If your flight's too early for breakfast, the hotel offers a grab and go breakfast of a croissant and Costa coffee.
