I only went in by chance on my last visit after ducking out of the KA lounge as it was very close to the departure gate. I must confess though I only went to the old BA/QF lounge once previously as I thought it was poor in comparison to the Wing.

I just don't like the ambience in the redone wing and from a more genuine restaurant type layout in the old Haven it has now morphed into something much more like a works canteen. Disturbingly (since this is CX) service seems on a par with the hit and miss service in the T5 CCR.
