About Blanco Lounge

Blanco Lounge is a restaurant in Bolton and part of The Loungers chain, set upstairs in the centre block of Middlebrook retail park at Unit 21a. Dedicated gluten-free and vegan menus run alongside the main one, so guests with those dietary needs have a full set of choices of their own, and vegetarian options are available too. The main menu spans all day breakfasts, burgers, flatbreads and tapas, with a Lounge Breakfast among the morning dishes. Board games and toys are on offer for guests, and dogs are welcome, with refreshments prepared for them. The restaurant shares the centre block with other restaurants. Parking is in the multistorey on the roof.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast draws the most mentions, from pancakes with maple mascarpone, blueberries and fruit compote to the gluten-free Lounge Breakfast, with one reviewer noting a pot of tea that stretched to three cups. Close behind are the large gluten-free and vegan menus, where a reviewer with an allergy says it was taken seriously, plus tapas, a roasted pepper, onion and feta flatbread, and sweet potato fries. Cocktails get praise, and a work group of more than ten describes friendly service and plenty of choice. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and quick service comes up more than once. The caveats are modest but specific. One reviewer called a coffee awful and tasteless even with an extra shot, and was offered a refund. The same reviewer was disappointed that the halloumi in the burger was breaded. Another says value could be a little better, and one mentions a mixed-up egg order on a gluten-free breakfast. Early portion and quality problems after opening are described as long gone, and one reviewer also describes help obtaining a VAT receipt from an earlier visit.

    “We had a fantastic work meal at Blanco Lounge in Horwich with a large group of more than 10 people, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and there was plenty of choice for everyone. Despite being a large group, the service was excellent throughout the evening. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very accommodating, making sure everyone was looked after and that everything ran smoothly. The atmosphere was relaxed, lively, and welcoming, which made it the perfect setting for a work get-together. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks, and overall experience. A big thank you to all the staff for making our evening so enjoyable. We would definitely come back and highly recommend Blanco Lounge for both group meals and casual dining!”

    “Had such a lovely experience at Blanco! 😊 Edyta was absolutely wonderful — really warm, attentive and genuinely lovely throughout our visit. Her customer service was excellent and she made us feel really welcome. She also went the extra mile and helped me get a VAT receipt from my visit last week, which I really appreciated. It’s the little things like this that make such a difference. Really lovely service from Edyta and a great experience overall. ⭐️”

    “Popped in here for breakfast. We had pancakes, I had the fruity option and my husband had the bacon option. They were both very nice. I don’t know if they were in-house pancakes or bought in Scotch Pancakes but they were good, and the maple mascarpone and blueberries were lovely, with a really excellent fruit compote! We had an orange juice and a pot of tea, the tea was by Clifton, which was very pleasant instead of one of the generic brands, and I got a good 3 cups out of the pot! Staff were friendly and warm, and the place itself has a wonderful chilled out and comfortable vibe. Very nice way to start the day!”
  • Samantha Richards
    “This is a really great place for food and drinks wether it's morning, lunch or cocktails in the evening. The staff are so friendly attentive and helpful, cannot possibly do any more for you. This has to be one of my favourite food places on the retail park by far. Definitely try the food you will not be disappointed. Love love love this place”
  • Natalie Jasmin
