Until now, all "IHG members" (presumably meaning elites) here got water/juice and a candy bar or bag of microwave popcorn (or similar food item), so the points are at present an alternative "recognition" option; we'll see if Platinums get both soon, as per the announcement.
All European HIXs have a full bar service during the day and evening - an increasing number also provide a limited food service in the evening as well
