Brief summary of a couple recent visits. We will be stopping through on Saturday. Hopefully the visit is a continuation of yesterday.

As others noted, it relatively quiet and multiple champagnes were on offer upon request. Didn’t receive any pushback etc (perhaps it is also advantageous to be known to the staff as a familiar face). Staff was friendly and attentive, though the manager seemed a bit snippy with them.

They also turned off the fireplace, which was much appreciated as it was making this grinding noise. It was extremely noticeable at 5:15 am when the lounge was dead.



Latest lunch / dinner menu. No items were out of stock.



Crab cake and the shrimp avocado roll. Both were good and as expected. Order two if you are hungry.



I’ve never gone with the sole and was looking for something light. It was actually quite good and would order again.



Breakfast menu from a couple of weeks ago. My first time doing breakfast (previously only had it at FFD) and unfortunately no omelette.



Standard and came out quickly, which was key as I only had 15 minutes in the lounge before boarding.

Jokes about the labels aside, serving Dom P in the lounge puts the Chelsea lounge near the top of the global lounge champagne offerings IMO.
I agree when they are stocked.
