I'll second dreamytraveler's opinion. The 80 quid is definitely worth it for two, if you make good use of the lounge. Mrs. Andyandy and I stayed on a rate that included access, but I would gladly pay for it next time. One thing not mentioned is the vast array of teas available all day. The views are lovely, and make it a lovely spot for afternoon tea.
Edit to add question:

I didn't see alcohol on offer during the day, only during the 6-8 period. dreamytraveller, did the lounge have it out during your stay, or did you have to ask for it?
