SSP launches new casual dining concept at Liverpool John Lennon Airport


SSP Group has introduced a new casual dining concept, Monty’s Diner, at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Monty’s marks the company’s first own-brand casual dining concept in the UK, offering an American-style diner with a mouthwatering signature menu. It features classic cooked breakfasts, breakfast bagels, and loaded waffles to kick off the day. The all-day menu includes signature smashed patty burgers, hotdogs, wings, as well as thick shakes and indulgent desserts, providing a relaxed, authentic dining experience in the lively airport environment.

Kari Daniels, CEO of SSP UK & Ireland said: “After extensive consumer research, we identified an opportunity for a casual all-day diner and from here the concept of Monty’s was born, complementing our diverse portfolio of airport bars and restaurants focused on meeting the needs of modern passengers”

“With a high volume of leisure travellers, our partner Liverpool John Lennon Airport was the perfect location to launch Monty’s. We’re now exploring opportunities to open Monty’s at more UK travel hubs and look forward to seeing these come to life soon.”

Monty’s Diner is a major milestone in the airport’s departure lounge redevelopment, offering passengers a fresh option to dine before their flight in a spacious setting ideal for families and larger groups. The 190-seat restaurant is a key part of the airport’s multi-million-pound enhancements, which also include a newly expanded premium lounge, set to be twice the size of the current one.

SSP has made a substantial investment at the airport across its eight outlets, which includes an extension and redesign of the existing Kissing Gate Pub and Kitchen, as well as upgrades to the airside Starbucks unit. Monty’s Diner joins Sable & Co Bar and Kitchen, SSP’s premium dining concept, and a revamped Upper Crust as the latest additions to the airport's dining offerings.

The updates to the Departure Lounge are set to be completed in time for the busy summer 2025 season, helping to accommodate the airport's increasing passenger traffic.

John Irving, CEO of Liverpool John Lennon Airport, commented: “We’re really excited to see the opening of the new Monty’s Diner, which is the latest in a series of food and beverage developments aimed at giving the growing numbers of passengers now choosing to fly from Liverpool the best possible experience before jetting off from here.

“We continue to look at ways to provide our passengers with a greater choice of high quality places to eat and drink while they wait for their flight, which complements the faster, easier, friendlier service that we have become known for. We started these latest multi-million-pound improvements with our retail partner SSP last year with the opening of the Sable & Co Bar and Kitchen with its views across the airfield, which has since become one of our most popular Departure Lounge facilities.

“Monty’s will add to the retail offer bringing a new twist for passengers, with an American-inspired dining experience and their all-day signature menu serving up breakfast favourites in particular and which we expect to be a great family favourite for many years to come.”
