Our Lounge

Martello Lounge is that big, handsome building in the middle of the seafront in sunny Clacton, next to the pier. We’re a beach café, but a beach café unlike any other; there’s ice-cream colours and two lovely terraces outside, and inside there are chandeliers and oil paintings galore, set off with handsome tiles and lush wallpaper across our two roomy floors. We even have a kiosk outside if you want a quick takeaway: seaside in style.

Inside, you’ll find a great range of food and drink, including dedicated menus for Little Loungers, gluten-free and vegan guests. We also have regular events, daily deals, treats for pets, board games and a whole lot more.
