Joe & The Juice at Gatwick South Terminal (LGW)

Shop Overview

Joe & The Juice is Gatwick’s go-to juice bar when you want something fresh, made-to-order, and easy to take to the gate. Expect a menu built around cold-pressed and blended juices, protein shakes, and barista-style coffee, plus a small but reliable range of grab-and-go food for travellers who’d rather skip heavier fast food.

The experience is typically quick and energetic: you order at the counter, drinks are prepared in front of you, and most items are designed for carrying (lidded cups, napkins, and sleeves). While it’s not a “shopping” store in the duty-free sense, it’s a smart spend for travellers wanting a lighter option before flying—especially after an early check-in or a long rail transfer into the airport.

What to Buy

• Fresh juices and blends: Look for their best-selling fruit-and-veg combinations (often including ginger for a travel-friendly kick). These are ideal if you want something hydrating after security.
• Protein shakes: A solid alternative to a full meal—handy on tight connections or if you expect limited onboard catering.
• Coffee drinks: If queues elsewhere spike, Joe & The Juice can be a faster caffeine stop, and it pairs well with a lighter snack.
• Sandwiches and light bites: Good for “eat now or later” planning—choose options that travel well and won’t get crushed in a backpack.

Airport pricing note: Like most airside food and drink at LGW, prices usually run higher than high-street equivalents due to airport operating costs. There are no duty-free savings here (duty-free discounts apply to goods at stores like World Duty Free, not freshly prepared food and beverages).

Location & Hours

Exact location: South Terminal, London Gatwick Airport (LGW).

For the smoothest walk, follow signs to the South Terminal departures shopping and dining area after check-in. If you’re already airside, head toward the main departure lounge retail zone (often signed as The Village in the South Terminal) and look for the coffee/food cluster where quick-service options sit together.

Security zone: This listing is for the South Terminal; confirm on the airport map whether it’s post-security on your travel day, as units can shift. If you want it as a “must-have,” plan a few extra minutes after security.

• Peak times: Early mornings (first wave of European departures) and late afternoon holiday flights.
• Quieter times: Mid-morning to early afternoon on weekdays, when leisure traffic dips.

Shopping Tips

• Duty-free allowances: Not applicable for fresh drinks/food, but if you’re pairing your stop with duty-free shopping, remember alcohol and tobacco allowances vary by destination.
• Reserve & Collect: Joe & The Juice typically doesn’t offer airport “Reserve & Collect.” If you are buying gifts or beauty, use World Duty Free Reserve & Collect at Gatwick (often advertised with online savings) and then pick up airside.
• Returns: Prepared food and drink are generally non-returnable. If something is wrong with your order, flag it immediately—airports are busy, but most quick-service teams can remake items on the spot.
• Payment & currency: Expect card/contactless to be the fastest option. UK retailers typically accept GBP; some airport outlets may accept major cards regardless of your home currency via your card issuer’s exchange rate.

Insider tip: If you’re boarding soon, choose a drink that’s easy to carry and reseal, and ask for extra napkins—helpful if you’re juggling duty-free bags from nearby South Terminal shops.
