Panero Lounge: Reviews & Ratings
I am easily impressed because I love my food but I can honestly say this place serves the best steak I have ever tasted, quality meat cooked to perfection, not one bit of fat and certainly NO chewy grizzly bits. Extremely friendly, helpful staff. You can order by QR code on your table or go to the bar. I noticed a whole Vegan menu and Gluten Free options. Seating upstairs and down and outside on the precinct. Quirky decor with fancy lights, retro mirrors and pictures on the walls. Water Dispenser at bar all year round and freshly squeezed orange juice available.
Absolutely gorgeous place with lovely staff and the best coffee I've had. We got the honey beetroot flatbread with whipped feta and it was incredible. Thank you! (Please excuse how desaturated the photo is)
We love this place. We have been several times when we come to visit family in the area, and we always go back for the good food, great value, and cozy/relaxed atmosphere. It’s great for breakfast or lunch/dinner.
Well me & my wife & our Puppy , went for the First time to day here, we have been before separatly, with friends, but not together, especially as beforehand we had only gone for a coffee of a tea , anyway today we brought Two pots of Tea & my wife had a Gluten free tuna sandwich & i had a double portion of frys/chips . I went to WC , but when i returned to my wife & puppy that were sat outside on the veranda at the front, our puppy had been given by a lady server a "Pup Cup" ( what a lovely touch, so thank you to her & the rest of the staff here). The restaurant had a bar on the ground level & kitchen & on the First floor there is a large area with comfortable seats & toilets. Really clean, tidy and dust free, a really love place to come for a spot of tea, coffee, food or cake, the food we had was good quality for what we ordered, a little expensive, but very clean & well prepared and presented, a massive Gluten Free Menu as well as other food options. Great for all the family etc. Will certainly recommend. Especialy for the pup cup & the text in the gentleman WC Very nicely decorated throughout, i was so surprised how lovely and light the pub was as most pubs like the lord parminston (weatherspoons) is dirty and dark looking with lots of dark tacky areas, this one is bright cheerful & with very friendly, welcoming staff. We all had a enjoyable time especially our puppy who Loved her First Time Pup Cup. Thank you again.
Jack was amazing, great quiz host. Hilarious, witty and very flamboyant. Really brings the atmosphere to life. Jack is the reason we will be coming back!!! Good work
Visited tonight with family. Food was excellent, good quality, good size portions, very fresh and nice and hot. Staff were very busy but very professional and friendly , food came out in good time . We really enjoyed everything and will be back.
I'm a regular for breakfast here, and today the staff went above and beyond. I brought my sister her for a birthday breakfast. The staff kindly as a surprise gave my sister a birthday brownie with ice cream and candles. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this place for the staff and atmo
Visited early on a Sunday morning and was surprised it wasn't busier. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Had the large GF breakfast and my son had the sausage sandwich. Excellent quality food - very tasty. The large breakfast was massive and only just managed to eat it all - too good to leave. Will definitely be back for more. Excellent Gluten Free menu - loads of choice.

During my visit, I couldn’t resist trying the renowned steaks that fellow reviewers rave about. I was blown away by the quality – cooked to perfection and devoid of any gristle. Just as Julia Mint praised, I found the meat incredibly tender with exceptional flavor. Every bite reaffirmed that Panero Lounge is committed to serving high-quality dishes that leave a lasting impression.
For those looking for a lighter option, the Honey Beetroot Flatbread topped with whipped feta was a standout. The combination of flavors was refreshing and beautifully executed, making it a highlight of my meal.
