Our Lounge

Granello Lounge’s handsome green tiled exterior overlooks Brand Street in the heart of Hitchin. There’s a sprinkling of tables on a little front terrace, big windows that open right out all along the front and we serve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) in our lovely big space that stretches back inside.

And to add a bit of sparkle, we’ve not got one chandelier, we’ve got approximately gazillions. And star lights. And tassel-y lights. You could say we had a bit of a light bulb moment.
