Centro Lounge — Restaurant in Charnwood

I’ve eaten at centro lounge several times in the past. As a coeliac I eat gluten free and they do a reasonable gluten free menu. However I probably won’t be eating here again, and not because of the food. I’d called a week before to ask about booking a table for 4 people. I was told that they don’t take bookings for small groups and only take bookings for larger groups. I explained why we had chosen to come to centro and was reassured that they have a high table turnover so that although they wouldn’t take a booking for us we would still be able to get a table but may have to wait a few minutes. I was happy to go with this and so were my husband and his friend and her wife. On the evening we had planned we met up and headed to Centro. It looked busy but as I approached I noticed multiple empty tables in the window area and once through the door I noticed a couple of larger tables. The larger tables had reserved signs on them but the other smaller tables did not. We were greeted by a a guy at the door and he asked us if he could help. We asked for a table for 4 and then told in a rather blunt and rude way that they had no tables available. It was just after 5pm on a Saturday and we asked if there would be anything available a bit later and said we didn’t mind waiting and just having a drink while we waited. From the response we got this did not seem to be an option the man we spoke to wanted. I tried to explain that I had called earlier in the week and that I had been reassured that if I was happy to wait a table would be available eventually but he would not accept this. I even asked about the empty tables I had seen as we approached centro. He didn’t seem interested at all. So we left and instead we went to Tarboush. Turns out this was an excellent decision as almost all of the food they do is gluten free and I have to say so much tastier and the service friendly helpful and fun. We had an amazing evening but NOT as...

Being a foodie, with pets, it is often hard to find places to be able to eat out and take your furry friends with you, but this place not only allows dogs, but will provide dogs with a free bowl of biscuits and water. The food on offer here is suitable for all diners with the restaurant providing menus for all, meat eaters, veggies and vegans as well as catering for specific allergies too. The menu is well balanced with options for every kind of mood ranging from finger tapas foods, right the way through to Sunday lunches and everything in between, all cooked to your liking. Prices at Centro Lounge are extremely fair, especially for the size of the portions provided and the quality of the food delivered by the chefs who cannot do enough to cater for your dietary needs. From the Bar staff and the chefs, the servers and cleaners, nothing is too much trouble and it is always a welcoming and friendly experience.Nothing is ever too much of an ask, however should anything not be quite right it is met with the same friendliness and professionalism and rectified in a timely manner. The reviews for centro lounge speak for them selves and personally, as you can hopefully tell, I cannot praise this establishment and my experiences here enough.

I would consider Centro lounge head and shoulders above their competitors, as they really do go above and beyond what is expected to ensure your visit is fun comfortable and enjoyable, and every service is completed with a smile and a genuine interest...

Probably my favourite eating/drinking venue in Loughborough. Eclectic decor, good food, a good selection of all types of drinks at a reasonable price. The decor is a mixture of old and new with the walls having classic wallpaper but almost entirely covered in pictures and framed prints, classical and more modern. The staff are always efficient, professional and friendly and when ordering food, even when really busy there is not too long a wait. There is a good selection of different foods from burgers, Mac and cheese to all day brunches with Eggs hollondaise, sausage sarnies, egg muffin with bacon or smoked salmon, shakshuka to smashed avocado and a selection of vegetarian option for those that prefer it. Later in there are nachos, chilli and some tapas style dishes amongst others. All in all a wide selection of foods for all tastes at reasonable prices. Also Centro is right next door to Cineworld so you can make an evening of it with cinema and food/drink. Finally it is right in centre of town and so useful for buses etc. I would strongly advise allowing a bit of time to get a table if you intend to eat there at the usual busy times in the evening or...
