If you're fortunate enough that your flight leaves from gate 5, then you'll be quite close for boarding also.
Totally agree with the comments made, I was there for the first time last month , mid week from around 10.30 until about 14.00 . Breakfast was excellent and then sandwiches. The bar area had an excellent choice of wines and was restocked regularly, excellent staff and the lounge dragons were charming.
The downstairs area was a lot busier than upstairs where you can find more quite areas to relax or chat.
If you smoke or you are with somebody that smokes there is a decent sized smoking room downstairs (relatively empty).
