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.
