A new restaurant is opening in Rayleigh High Street, in the former Barclays bank unit, and will be called Manzano Lounge.

Manzano Lounge is from the same operator of Molo Lounge in Southend. The hospitality company named ‘Lounges Plc’ have been seeing strong growth around the UK with their lounge venues. The company now has over 220 Lounges nationwide.

The new lounge is also dog-friendly.

The Lounges are neighbourhood café-bars combining elements of a restaurant, British pub and coffee shop culture.

The Lounges have a consistent look and feel but each Lounge is individually named and tailored to the local area, and the design of each Lounge is continually evolving, meaning no two sites are the same.

Every Lounge offers all-day dining, with the same menu served from 9am and 10pm every day.

Manzano Lounge will open on 12th February 2025 at 65-67 High Street, Rayleigh, SS6 7EJ.

The opening times for Manzano Lounge are:

Sunday – Thursday 9am – 11pm

Friday – Saturday 9am – 12am
