What food is offered at Escape Lounges?

Our US and UK Escape Lounges offer a range of hot and cold breakfast, lunch and dinner options, alongside the perfect beverage to match.

We aim to offer a tailor-made experience to suit your needs, which is why we make sure our menus have options for all dietary requirements.

 

Breakfast

As well as traditional breakfast menu items like grits, our US menu features apple cinnamon muffins, perfect for vegetarians, and chef’s choice oatmeal, ideal for those who are vegan or gluten free.

Roasted tomato, tater bites and baked beans on our UK menu can be combined to create a delicious vegan breakfast before flying. The best part is, our breakfast menu is delivered buffet-style, which means you can keep going back for more throughout your lounge stay.

If a hot buffet or breakfast isn’t your thing, we have a selection of fresh fruit for you to dig into, as well as vegan blueberry croissants and Greek yogurt with toppings.

 

Lunch and dinner

Travelling later in the day? Our US menu features a variety of dishes, all curated especially for Escape Lounges. From a Sicilian sub to baked mac & cheese, there’s plenty to choose from on our menu. We also have a charcuterie board and a range of salads on offer, from hominy & corn to tomato cucumber.

Our UK lounges all offer a range of favourites with a twist. Whether you want to keep it simple with a traditional minced beef and vegetable stew & dumplings, or mix things up with a wholegrain mustard mash, our warm buffet is a great way to get ready for travel. We also offer a range of salads, soups and sandwiches so you can create your own lunch or dinner to match your appetite.

 

Desserts and snacks

Desserts in the US include chocolate chip cookies and assorted dessert bars, while in the UK there are muffins and doughnuts, or even bread and butter pudding if you’re looking for something hearty.

If you’re not travelling at mealtime, or don’t want a full meal, our US and UK lounges have a range of snacks on offer, including crisps and tortilla chips and dips, and cheese & biscuits.

What can I drink at an Escape Lounge?

In the UK, our extensive beverage selection features well-known UK brands such as Manchester Pale Ale (available at our flagship Manchester locations), Guinness and Carlsberg for a refreshing pint. Fancy something lighter? Try Schweppes or Hartridges soft drinks or go for a simple Diet Coke or Lemonade to help quench your thirst.

For a taste of the US before your flight, why not unwind with Jim Beam or Dewar’s White Label? These whiskey/Scotch options are specially selected for our Escape Lounges, so make sure to take advantage before you leave. We also serve Silver Gate Sparkling Wine on tap if you’re looking to celebrate before your flight.
