I treated my friend to the lounge experience for a birthday gift. I had used a different lounge previously at Birmingham so thought this would be as good. Unfortunately on walking in to the lounge I immediately felt disappointed. The appearance was fairly basic and felt a little claustrophobic. Not to be put off by this we helped ourselves to some soup, which was tasty although the bread rolls were a little stale. We would have liked a hot fish to follow but the two pasta dishes and the curry were all dried out so we went for salad. It was fine but nothing special. We followed this later with a coffee and a nice piece of Victoria sponge. Not the best experience, however the staff were friendly. As this was a special occasion I felt a little let down and would have liked better for my friend's treat.
