It strikes me that the min standard is breakfast and evening drinks/canapes. Some do a high tea style afternoon tea which is a nice touch in my opinion. I noticed in Sydney for our last stay they actually had some free lunch items in the lounge which surprised me (pleasantly)
Hi Susie,
could I possibly pick your brain? I am going to be staying at the Sydney IC in March with Club access for at least a couple of nights on an Ambassador certificate - I have a few extra nights tagged on at a lower room rate so not sure if I'll end up with Club access for the whole stay if they let me stay in the same room, or not. I also have a boring and annoying dairy intolerance, so I am wondering what the club food is like, and whether there are dairy free options there. If not then I'll end up eating elsewhere anyway and need not worry about whether they'll let me into the club for the additional nights. Any idea of what the food offering is actually like (especially breakfast) would be appreciated!

Thanks!
