Caviar and champagne service right on the Stansted concourse
Caviar House & Prunier at London Stansted Airport sits landside on the main concourse, so you can eat here even if you’re just dropping someone off. There’s no published opening hours from the airport or the brand, so treat this as a daytime/early evening option rather than a 24/7 fallback. Expect a glass-counter setup with stools rather than a full dining room, and plan a little buffer before security so you’re not clock-watching while you eat.
The price tier skews high compared with other Stansted outlets, in line with the Prunier name and its focus on caviar and smoked salmon. This is where you go for champagne and caviar plates instead of a £5 grab-and-go sandwich. Figure on paying premium London hotel-bar prices for seafood and wine, instead of terminal fast-food numbers. If you just want a quick coffee before security, this is probably not the most sensible spend.
Menu focus is on Prunier caviar, smoked and marinated salmon, and seafood platters, paired with champagne and still wines by the glass or bottle. Expect counter plating, not elaborate tasting menus. If you’re watching time before a Ryanair or Jet2 departure, stick to a simple salmon plate and a single glass rather than committing to multiple courses. There’s usually some form of non-alcoholic option, but the whole concept leans toward alcoholic pairings.
Because the exact opening hours at Stansted are not clearly published, don’t count on Caviar House & Prunier for very early 05:00 departures or late-night arrivals. Treat it as a splurge spot when you have at least 40–60 minutes before security and want one good seafood plate and a drink. Practical tip: check it out first on arrival at the terminal; if it’s closed or too busy, you still have time to pivot to the usual airside fast-food near your gate.
