They tend to put out a few cut wraps and sandwich quarters that get snapped up quickly. It's two minute walk to the food court so I'd get something more substantial there and then head to the lounge.
Last time I flew TPA in November there was a LHR 777 covering the route most days as the refurbs were happening. Great IFE and was in good condition (it was a four class). Don't know if this is still the case

I believe that BA stopped contracting with the 3rd party lounge (International Club, or something like that) several years ago, and as set out in the link provided by Globaliser the Admirals Club is the lounge provided by BA.

That being said, the Admirals Club was very difficult to find until 2018. It was hidden behind some café shops. Now the layout changed a little and the ever crowded Café is gone. Hopefully it is easier for people to find the Admirals Club.

The last few aircraft have been G-VIIO, G-VIIY and G-VIIV. Today is planned to be G-VIIP.

i believe the switch over happened at the end of October last year at which time the Admirals Club became BA’s designated lounge

Chart shows it not terribly busy during winter schedule.
AClub food is underwhelming at best, drinks not as good as a BA lounge either, Just cookies, nuts fruit- maybe a soup. And just beer and wine (but not all beer and wine) and limited coctails. I was given an Aperol spritz and went for no2 and the different bartender wanted to charge me. Not sure if they dont do any now, this was in 2018 in a diff Aclub lounge but they are pretty much the same.

It's an ok lounge but the food is very limited. We used the lounge in January and there were only crudities and dips and a small plate of cookies. Alcoholic drinks are via a voucher which is issued to you on entry.
I believe you can order and purchase food in the lounge.
Whilst the old lounge wasn't fancy the small selection of sandwiches and the self pour bar was a better. I also thought the new lounge was dark and gloomy although it does have windows which is more than the previous.
