Workington’s latest cafe bar has opened its doors.
Saludo Lounge, in Washington Square, is run by Loungers plc and has created around 30 jobs.
The firm has transformed the former premises of the Garden with heavily patterned wallpapers, tiling and stripped wooden floors alongside oversized vintage sofas, upholstered lounge chairs, eclectic artwork and statement wall and pendant lighting.
John English, head of community at Loungers, said: “We are delighted to have opened the doors of Saludo Lounge.
“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 Saludo Lounge.”
The all-day menu will feature everything from breakfast, tapas and salads to burgers and buttermilk fried chicken, with those following a vegan or gluten-free diet, well catered for with their very own menus.
Particular attention will be paid to families with a selection of games, books, colouring pencils and pads on offer.
