Roland, that's my point exaxctly. I usually want a quick snack or
bottle of water, en route to the train, and I will certainly not ne
detouring up escalators in search of this.

If they remove all the small refreshment kiosks that will be a severe
detriment to passengers who actually use the station as a station and
not as a shopping centre!

IIRC, that hasn't happened at Liverpool Street. Last time I was there
I'm sure there were food kiosks on the lower level, and a Starbucks
outside the Bishopsgate entrance.
