I was there on Sunday. As mentioned, the main T2 lounges opposite gate 40 are under construction. Travel buddy and I could only find two offerings; there may be more, but we were time-limited after a long security queue:

* opposite gate 35ish - Travel buddy's DL Plat was refused though I was OK as *G;
* opposite gates 42/3 - access OK for both of us - this is badly sign-posted and we walked past it twice as it looks like it's part of the building works! Offers a little more space and much the same food/drink offerings, but with the addition of quail eggs and a sad, broken grand piano in the corner

I have no idea who the providers were as neither were clearly marked (plus both of us were feeling pretty sick by the time we cleared security and were distracted.)

FYI, there is currently no priority security lane at this airport. Be prepared to queue for quite some time (over an hour for us).
