Service is also better in the Wing.
I will agree like for like service is better in the wing it is still hit and miss though.

I would not describe the Wing food as restaurant quality in any way shape or form. The average Sunday brunch buffet in an Asian hotel will have a far better selection of nicer food. It is better than the T5 and T3 Flounge that is true but that isn't a high bar to hit.

A quick perusal of my posts here will show me as a fierce and vigorous BA critic. There are many better lounges in the world than the CCR but the Wing (in my own experience) is not one of them. One of the best is the JFK CCR though which is in most respects significantly better than the F Wing. Only the wing shower facilities are better.
