Our Lounge

Portello Lounge is on a great spot on Central Avenue by Bridgford Park, just along from Trent Bridge. We serve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including kids, gluten free and vegan menus) in a light, airy space stretching across two floors with a satisfyingly huge chandelier hanging from the top to the ground floor. With our full height windows on each floor that open right up, our pavement tables and little balcony, we’re just perfect for people watching on match – or any other – day. Howzat!
