Bristol’s Loungers to open first cafe/bar in Thornbury

Bristol-based Loungers is opening a brand new cafe/bar in Thornbury next month - their first in the town.

Called Tesoro Lounge, it will feature the brand’s signature all-day menu featuring everything from tapas and salads to burgers and buttermilk fried chicken.

There will also be a range of dishes for vegans and those favouring a gluten-free diet.

The new Thornbury Lounge will feature the familiar heavily patterned wallpapers, tiling and stripped wooden floors of other sites as well as oversized vintage sofas, upholstered lounge chairs, eclectic artwork and pendant lighting.

Particular attention will be paid to families with a selection of games, books, colouring pencils and pads on offer.

A full menu, high chairs and baby-changing facilities are also available for ‘Little Loungers’.

Gemma Irwin, Community Manager at Loungers, says: “We are delighted to be bringing Loungers to Thornbury. Our Lounges strive to put community at the heart of hospitality and our teams always go the extra mile to make a difference.

“They are actively encouraged to connect with their communities by working with local groups, charities, organisations and businesses that are at the heart of the fabric of local life. We are very much looking forward to welcoming local residents to Tesoro Lounge.”

The team at Tesoro Lounge has also partnered with local charity Jigsaw Thornbury and will donate 50p from every burger and 20p from each coffee sold in the first month of trading.

Tesoro Lounge opens at 14 High Street, Thornbury, on June 1.
