As the name suggests, this pub is as quintessentially English as a cup of tea and a scone, but with a contemporary flair that's sure to impress even the most discerning pub-goer. Whether you’re here to catch up with friends, watch the game, or simply unwind after a day of shopping at the nearby Arndale Centre, this place has you covered.
Step inside, and you’ll find a haven of dark wood, leather sofas, and cozy armchairs that beckon you to sit back and stay awhile. The English Lounge spreads its wings over two floors, with the upper level sporting a lighter, cream-and-aubergine color scheme that’s perfect for a more relaxed vibe. From noon until 9.30 pm daily, you can indulge in a menu brimming with British classics and international twists—think everything from hearty pies and burgers to spicy chicken tikka masala and crispy southern-fried goujons.
But wait, there’s more! If you’re in the mood for a bit of fresh air, the pub’s outdoor terrace offers a lovely spot for al fresco dining, while the rooftop terrace is ideal for private events and celebrations. With live music and big-screen sports often on the agenda, The English Lounge serves up a lively atmosphere that pairs perfectly with its well-priced, comfort-food menu.
So, whether you're looking to kick back with a pint and some cheesy macaroni bites or dive into a Sunday roast with all the trimmings (bottomless Yorkshire puddings, anyone?), The English Lounge is your go-to spot for a hearty, feel-good experience in the city centre.
