Loungers plc, is opening Forno Lounge in Broadstairs on Wednesday (16th July).

Loungers has transformed the former Prezzo on Albion Street with  heavily patterned wallpapers, tiling and stripped wooden floors alongside oversized vintage sofas, upholstered lounge chairs, eclectic artwork and statement wall and pendant lighting.

Forno Lounge will have a varied all-day menu from coffee with friends, a long lazy brunch with family or a relaxed dinner and drinks.

John English, Head of Community at Loungers, said: “We can’t wait to finally open the doors to Forno Lounge and meet the locals.  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 Forno Lounge.”
