Today is a momentous day for Loungers, as we open Antico Lounge in Alton, marking 300 open sites across the UK. Loungers started in 2002 with three friends and a simple goal: to create a neighbourhood café-bar that they would want to go to. From a former optician in Bristol, this concept spread across the UK, and now we stand at a whopping 260 Lounge Café Bars. ☕ And then came Cosy Club. Born out of a desire to bring a touch of timeless glamour, an elevated menu and to celebrate every occasion, the first Cosy Club opened in Taunton in 2010, housed in a former Victorian arts college. We now stand proud in 36 locations (soon to be 37 with our brand new St Albans site), with a recent 70s-inspired rebrand set to bring about a whole new era of Cosy. ✨ Finally, we have our newest venture, Brightside - Roadside Dining! Inspired by the memory of childhood road trips and trips to a roadside diner. It brings these retro vibes in everything it does, from warm, nostalgic interiors to a playful menu with something for all ages. 🌻 We exist to bring people together across all of our brands, with a community-focused approach that makes our Loungers feel proud of being a part of something special. 2025 has been a year of highlights here at Loungers Ltd, raising over £200k as part of LoungeAid, unveiling Cosy's new concept, setting live new websites for both Lounge and Cosy, as well as launching Brightside's Sparky soft toy campaign. We hope to keep on going and make this one of our best years yet! 300 sites open is just the beginning, and we've loved having each and every customer along for the ride. 🧡

Great to see Lounge Café Bars featured on BBC Breakfast yesterday morning, discussing summer jobs for young people and highlighting the positive career opportunities for young people in our Lounges. As mentioned in the show, the UK is currently facing the lowest number of summer job vacancies since 2018, with around 22,000 fewer hospitality vacancies compared to 2024. But here at Loungers, we pride ourselves on providing employee opportunities for part-time workers, whether this is a young person's first job, earning while studying for a degree or a flexible working solution to fit around childcare. Thank you to Adam, who is our Regional Ops Manager for the North West and Georgia from Benito Lounge, for speaking to the BBC about this topic.

It was fantastic to see our Brightside leaders come together with colleagues from across HQ for a day of collaboration and connection. Opportunities like this are so valuable for building relationships, sharing knowledge and strengthening the links between our sites and support teams. 🌻 Thank you to everyone who made the day such a success — we’re looking forward to more moments like this!

Always lovely to see such positive reviews of Brightside - Roadside Dining, and we feel like Cyann Fielding nailed it in her recent article for The Sun. We loved hearing her descriptions of the "warm glow of burnt oranges, rustic reds and mellow yellows" that opened her description of Brightside Exeter.🌻 We're glad to hear you loved our burgers, pizza and desserts, taking advantage of our Thursday offer, which lets you buy a dessert for £1 alongside any adult main meal. Even our toilets got a shoutout, with the "avocado-coloured sinks set against a mustard yellow tile backdrop" being a firm favourite of many visitors! 🚽 Thank you for the kind words Cyann, and we hope to see you at Brightside again soon!

We're happy to show off not one, but two brand new websites here at Loungers. Both Lounge Café Bars and Cosy Club have recently undergone an online makeover, introducing fresh, modern websites that perfectly encapsulate their distinct brands. The Lounge website has been redesigned to focus on community, making it easier than ever to search for your local Lounge and find out plenty of information about it, such as name meanings, favourite dishes and what's going on there. “We’re super proud of our new website - it does a great job of conveying the Lounge spirit and feels much more us. It also allows our customers to connect more closely with their local Lounge, which is what we’re all about - connection and community.” - Verity Vincent, Head of Lounge Marketing Cosy Club has recently undergone a brand refresh, complete with a new logo, colour palette, and 70s-inspired design, which is being rolled out across its sites. The new website reflects this new era of Cosy, with a slick new look that showcases the brand at its best. "The new Cosy Club website is a bold leap forward, slicker, faster, and intuitive. Whether you're browsing the mouth-watering menu or locking in a table for your next night out, every click feels effortless. It perfectly captures that signature Cosy Club charm, laid-back, stylish, and full of character. You don’t just see the experience; you feel it from the moment you land on the homepage" - Ollie Jack Payne, Head of Cosy Club Marketing So come and have an explore and see what's new - Lounge: https://thelounges.co.uk/ ☕ Cosy Club: https://cosyclub.co.uk/ ✨
