Our Lounge

Panero Lounge sits proudly on pedestrianised Palmerston Road and it’s got it all: it’s in the centre of Southsea, but only 10 minutes from the seafront; there’s huge floor to ceiling windows across the front that open right up onto an outdoor terrace; there’s a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten free and vegan menus) served in our a lovely big space that stretches back across two floors inside. We’ve a bookswap, cosy chairs, tassel-y lampshades, big star lights, chandeliers, a big welcome to kids and dogs, and we’ve even a very upbeat swimmer on the wall by the bar. Of course.

PRIVATE DINING: Our upstairs is perfect to hire for meetings, parties, receptions, community groups and pretty much anything else! It’s available for hire anytime (except weekend lunchtimes). We do ask for a small deposit for groups of over 15 – get in touch and we’ll give you all the details.

Home From Home

Panero Lounge is at the very heart of Southsea and its community – we’re your home from home open all day, every day for breakfast, coffee, lunch & dinner.

Panero is Spanish for draper. HG Wells worked as a draper’s assistant in Southsea, and this formed the inspiration for two of his books.

Opening Times

LoungeAid is our annual fundraising initiative that takes place every June, where our teams aim to reach the highest fundraising target they can. Each Lounge nominates a local charity close to the community or a staff member.
