I don't know how many of you may be aware of the discussion on FT about the cutbacks here. They have apparently got rid of the chefs who provided the excellent food - one of it's strongest points - and are serving frozen food, apparently. 
I have just got here and the place is dead, staff wise not pax, which there would not be many of mid afternoon on a Saturday. Staff wise, where before you would have 3, 4 or 5 staff greeting you as you walked in, today I was escorted in at the far end by one staff member, and the only other staff in the entire place are two behind the bar. None whatsoever in the main area. I walked down to the food area and back and did not see a single member of staff. I had to go to the bar to order food. Previously if you moved in your seat they were over like a shot. They have also now closed off the entrance next to the J lounge and now only have the one at the far end towards the SKL.
Oh dear TG, what have you done....there is cutting back, and there is destroying something. They've gone for the latter.

I've been thru there often to expect nothing of the food and drink. If I can swing the 20 min foot massage, it'll be expectations met.
