It's the same (though slightly cut down) menu in the lounge as it is in the formal dining area - and you can ask for the full dining menu even when sat in the lounge.
I did my first first a couple of weeks ago (TRs to follow honest!).
The First Wing is unhurried (I noticed it's not carpeted like it is at LGW!) so it's a little clinical but the security is great as there is more room for people to get ready and sort themselves again afterwards (though some people do insist on doing that at the belts rather than at the table area)
I didn't pre book a treatment but had no issue with doing it on the day - though I did arrive at 8 am and didn't want / need an appointment until around 4 (I had the small matter of flying up and down to Inverness first!) though she did offer me one at 9am!
The scrambled eggs and salmon were delicious for breakfast along with a glass of rose champers and a latte.
On my return from INV I started with the cheese board as a snack.
I also had a shower and then after my facial I went to to the formal dining area and had a the mutton carpacio and criminalised walnut (in the singular) and the bream. I didn't have any dessert as I needed to save room for the food on board! (the menu may have changed since the 2nd January)
On board if they don't offer you the pyjamas then just ask. They are cotton and miles better than the VS ninja suits.
Remember on board it's also dine on demand so you can just tell the crew when you want to eat - though get them to reserve your main course choice.
One issue with the CCR is there are very few plugs though they do have some fancy phone charger things they will lend you.
IIRC Sealink wrote a detailed TR on his FF so have a look at that though I can't remember the route he was on.
Enjoy
