Congleton's newest restaurant is open for business.

Orso Lounge welcomed its first customers on Wednesday (April 16).

Located at what was once Boots on Bridge Street, the venue is completely unrecognisable having been transformed with vintage furniture, heavily patterned wallpapers and eclectic artwork.

General manager Stuart Hanson said: "Wow, what a great first 24 hours we've had! 

"We've already been made to feel so welcome. 

"We look forward to welcoming everyone over the next few weeks and to playing our part in this wonderful community."

The company aims to create venues that can be a integral part of the local community.

John English, head of community at Loungers, said: "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."

Orso Lounge caters to all tastes throughout the day with a varied and innovative all-day menu boasting everything from breakfast and tapas to salads and burgers.

There are also special menus for those following a vegan or gluten-free diet.

Meanwhile, particular attention has been paid to families with a selection of games, books, colouring pencils and pads on offer. 

There is even a full menu as well as highchairs and baby-changing facilities available for 'Little Loungers'.
