Loungers, the West Country based restaurant/café/bar group has opened a brand new site in Monmouth. Named Estero Lounge, the new venue occupies Commerce House, a refurbished building in Monnow Street and has created 20 jobs for local people. Loungers has invested £575K transforming the new site into a retro home from home, where dramatic art work sits next to oversized vintage sofas and statement light fittings, in the eclectic style much loved by Lounge aficionados.

Jeremy Burton-Dickie, operations manager, Loungers, said:  “Monmouth is the perfect location for our Lounge concept. There’s already a thriving and vibrant community and we’re delighted to be playing our part in the foodie scene here. Residents will be served by the very best - our new team is passionate about hospitality. Our excellent ‘on the job’ training programme ensures our staff are at the top of their game.”

Ian Newbury, Surveyor with Cooke & Arkwright's Retail & Leisure Agency, who acted for the private landlord in the letting said, “This is an excellent property and location for Estero Lounge to occupy. Commerce House is a striking building which has been redeveloped to a high standard and extends to almost 5,000 sq ft over two floors. It is situated in a prominent position on Monnow Street close to nearby retailers, making it convenient for shoppers and visitors to the town. The landlord is pleased to have attracted such a high quality tenant who will add to the leisure offering in Monmouth.”

The service provided has been excellent and the one team approach has worked really well. Graham Davies has been exceptional and provided a first class service supported by John Day and Phil Angell. The service we received from the whole team at C&A has been outstanding and I would recommend C&A without reservation.
