Our Lounge

Mercado Lounge is on Abbey Street, just off the High Street in the heart of Market Harborough. We’re a handsome place, with floor-to-ceiling windows all around and a really pretty large central courtyard, perfect for watching the world go by. For such a large open plan space, we’ve a surprising amount of nooks and crannies to get lost in.

You can enjoy our fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) served in a really relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Our rather smart building used to be a headquarters for Golden Wonder crisps, fact fans! With daily deals, great events, canine treats and much more, pop in to Mercado Lounge and let us look after you.
