The lounge is well run with a large selection of foods and drinks. Unlike some of the lounges the prosecco is free, no extra charges once you have paid. Well decorated with plenty of seating and friendly staff. Disadvantages: Reserved seats not very clear, whilst we were there, twenty people came to the seats next to us, they were reserved, but the flat card used to mark the reserved seats is not visible until you are 4-5 feet away (Would suggest some form of bright card in possibly a cube or pyramid shape, that can be seen easily. Toilets are outside the lounge, but not very far away. Advantages Large lounge with traditional eating tables and chairs, as well as lounging chairs, quiet areas out of the eating area. Food regularly refreshed, coffee machines clean and tidy.

We prebooked this lounge as we were going on our honeymoon so wanted a treat! We were told to go and sit in the room behind the food and bar, which we went to, however there was a toddler in there blaring their iPad - not relaxing at all! So we moved and sat elsewhere. Don’t know if there should be a rule on this. The food was average at best, it was lunch time. There was half the food left from breakfast, and then some sandwiches, crisps and salad. The bar was great. I asked if I could use the baby change that was located in the lounge, but was told it’s best to use the one that was outside of the lounge and a walk back through into the terminal. Very annoying and strange??? There was no windows so it was boiling and also very dark. It was kind of like a budget waiting room, not a luxury lounge. We paid £70 for the experience - definitely not worth it at all.

This was my first visit and I would not repeat the experience. There was nothing wrong with the food/drinks, or the staff but with no windows and natural light, it feels dark and depressing. I was greeted by a nice guy, who checked me in, and directed me to one of the single seats, around the back of the lounge. The seats are not particularly comfortable, and the tables a bit small and the overall feeling is that you are in a big box, shoved away in the corner of the airport. As I say, the food was fine, and the staff perfectly pleasant but it just doesn't make you feel that relaxed before your flight.

We booked a space in the Escape Lounge in Terminal 1 before our holiday and it was not great. There were children running around who were screaming along with their parents shouting after them. They claim to have a dress code which is not enforced- lots of men in baseball caps and women wearing hardly any clothes- great if that’s your thing but hardly a classy venue. Several people walked in to use the lounge with their credit cards and were told it was full- it wasn’t there was always around 15 empty seats…. Shoddy at best and I would seriously avoid booking this

Food was all very bland and not great quality, we were there from breakfast to lunch, so had both menus. Sausages at breakfast were ok, typical cheap sausages, rest of it meh. Lunch menu wasn’t much of an improvement, basic sandwiches and a few hot dishes. The Thai green curry ok, same for the cottage pie. Staff, one very helpful, rest pretty surly and unhelpful- we’re trying to get some salt and pepper/sauces and were just pointed to the empty station where they were supposed to be… It was pretty full, we were lucky to get some seats. Thankfully the alcohol was free flowing, so we got our money worth’s there.

At around £35 per person this is an excellent value lounge. We arrived around 11am so breakfast was still on but it was moving into lunch. Food wise breakfast was traditional cooked items, white bread rolls, coffee/ tea machines, all tasted great. Lunch was a select of sandwiches, cheese and biscuits and crisps and also meals like sweet potato Thai curry, rice, cottage pie, cauliflower cheese, potatos. All tasty and filled regularly. Beer and Guinness cans and bottles are just help yourself and there’s a bar serving unbranded spirits and wine/prosecco. Point to note, if it’s Prosecco you’re going for I didn’t think it tasted very nice, it lost its sparkle quickly and was on draught. A lot of guests left theirs too. Plenty of seats and the only annoyance are uncontrolled kids and semi drunk parents. Not enough charging points/sockets really either. Good value though, would go again.

Entered the lounge at 8.30am on 6th March. Was very impressed with the food offerings as well as the friendly staff. We have used these lounges many times but this was the best experience we have had in any of them. We must mention Jonathan who was not only customer focused but a very friendly and professional staff member.

Food ok, drink selection good. Bit of a problem finding somewhere to sit, i think this could be organised much better. I was not impressed with the way i presume some kind of supervisor/manager (who's name i have, if you care to know please message me) spoke to the 2 bar staff in the most derogatory way in front of a bar full of customers. I was very shocked how she spoke to them. Apparently the rule is one drink per person, and obviously if people are in a couple, you shouldn't have to both leave your belongings far away at your table to go and order a drink each - how ridiculous!! She ordered/shouted at the bar staff that this was the rule. I thought this behavior was totally out of order and unnecessary, if she needed to have a word with them it shouldn't have been done in front of customers in such an unprofessional manner. It was embarrassing for the bar staff and the customers waiting. I really don't think ordering 2 drinks at a time is outrageous but her behavior certainly was.

Really rate this airport lounge, was a great start to our holiday. The food was hot with plenty of choice. Buffet style so no waiting for being served (which I've experienced with other lounges). Could do with some more private seating and cocktails at the bar would be a great addition. Just wanted to give a shout-out to Matt (manager I think) who was really courteous and friendly. He showed excellent customer service and really helped us out with a couple of issues... As well as introduce us to a new card game

The lounge was over crowded and loud. The seating available when we arrived was in a pokey dark corner. All the lounges we have been in previously, have lovely big windows giving views of the planes and runway. Not here. It was grim. We had to sit at a low table making it really difficult to eat. I booked this as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. I read the terms of the lounge before we arrived and in terms of dress code, it made it sound far more classy than it was. I told my husband he wasn’t allowed to wear his baseball cap!! Loads of people had cheap football kits and baseball caps! This was suppose to be a relaxing drink and some food before we flew. The food was awful, choices were not good. They appeared to run out of meat so my husband got the last chicken leg, and the last sausage, and the rest of the hot food was cauliflower cheese or mash. No more meat arrived so I ended up with a plate of cauliflower cheese. The drinks were okay, Prosecco on tap which was drinkable. All in all, not worth a penny of what I paid and would certainly not be going again. Really disappointing start to the holiday.
