Notes to Editors

Loungers operates through its two complementary brands - Lounge and Cosy Club - in the UK hospitality sector.

A Lounge is a neighbourhood café/bar combining elements of coffee shop culture, the British pub and dining. There are 137 Lounges nationwide. Lounges are principally located in secondary suburban high streets and small town centres. The sites are characterised by informal, unique interiors with an emphasis on a warm, comfortable atmosphere, often described as a "home from home".

Cosy Clubs are more formal bars/restaurants offering reservations and table service but share many similarities with the Lounges in terms of their broad, all-day offering and their focus on hospitality and culture. Cosy Clubs are typically located in city centres and large market towns. Interiors tend to be larger and more theatrical than for a Lounge, and heritage buildings or first-floor spaces are often employed to create a sense of occasion. There are 30 Cosy Clubs nationwide.
