Our Lounge

What do Derby folk say about Carnero Lounge? Some say our coffee is the best in Derby. Some say we have the best hospitality, including a great kids’ corner. Some say we’re the perfect spot for people watching from our huge windows (that open right out) and outside seating, as we’re on a great spot on St. Peter Street, pretty much in the city centre.

Some say we serve a delicious vegetarian breakfast (from our fantastic range of food and drinks that includes full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus). And some ask why we have a photo of a smiling man being rubbed with lard on the wall. We say no more.

A person holds a festive fried chicken sandwich with melted cheese, cranberry sauce for a touch of Christmas flavor, and a bacon-wrapped item on top, with a bowl of fries nearby.
