Current food and drink options
The airport currently lists a mixture of fast food, coffee, snacks, bars and sit-down dining choices.
Published options include Burger King, Cabin Bar, Tap & Brew, Starbucks and Greggs. The right choice will depend on whether you want a full meal, a quick takeaway, coffee or somewhere to sit with a drink before departure.
Burger King
Burger King provides fast food for passengers wanting a quick hot meal.
The airport describes Burger King as suitable for either filling up before a flight or getting a quick bite. Touchscreen ordering terminals are available, although waiting times will vary depending on how busy the terminal is.
Cabin Bar
Cabin Bar is a more relaxed sit-down option serving both meals and drinks.
The venue offers food alongside wines, craft beers and cocktails in a contemporary bar setting. It may suit passengers who have enough time for a sit-down meal rather than a quick takeaway.
Tap & Brew
Tap & Brew is focused on beer and casual pre-flight refreshments.
The venue serves local craft beers from Salt Beer Factory alongside a wider range of drinks on tap. Passengers should confirm the current food menu and opening hours before relying on it for a full meal.
Starbucks and Greggs
Starbucks and Greggs provide familiar choices for coffee, snacks and food to take away.
Starbucks sells coffee, hot chocolate, iced drinks, sandwiches, snacks and sweet treats. Greggs offers its usual mixture of pastries, savoury food and sweet snacks. These may be practical choices for passengers who do not want a sit-down meal.
Breakfast and early flights
Passengers travelling very early should not assume every restaurant or café will be open.
The Six Eight One Lounge publishes a breakfast buffet that can include pastries, fruit, cereal, bacon, sausages, eggs and hash browns. Opening hours for other terminal venues were not included in the information reviewed, so check the airport website before travelling on an early flight.
Food for children and dietary requirements
The Six Eight One Lounge publishes some information about family and dietary choices.
The lounge states that vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available and that a children's menu may be offered during school holidays. This does not guarantee that a dish is suitable for every allergy. Speak directly to the restaurant or lounge staff before ordering where there is a serious dietary or allergy requirement.
Shops selling snacks and essentials
Several airport shops sell food, drinks and useful items passengers may have forgotten.
WHSmith sells books and snacks and is available both before and after security. Boots sells toiletries, health products and sun care. World Duty Free offers travel retail products, Accessorize sells bags and accessories, and InMotion sells electronics and chargers.
Check the terminal map
Restaurant and shop locations can change as the terminal develops.
Use the official airport terminal map to confirm whether a venue is before or after security and where it is located. Opening hours and available menus may also vary by day and season.
Check important information before travelling
Airport charges, opening hours, transport schedules and security policies can change. Confirm time-sensitive details directly with Leeds Bradford Airport, your airline or the relevant transport operator before your journey.
