Loungers opens fourth Brightside restaurant
Hospitality group Loungers has opened its fourth Brightside roadside restaurant at the Ram Jam services in Rutland.
Located along the main route between Peterborough and Grantham, the new restaurant forms part of a purpose-built retail development comprising four units, adjacent to a petrol station and a bakery.
Brightside – which was launched by Loungers as a means to “reinvigorate roadside dining in the UK” – opened its first three restaurants last year, located in Exeter and Honiton, Devon, and Saltash, Cornwall.
Charlie Jones, operations manager at Brightside, said: “We are delighted that our Brightside experience, and our unique reinterpretation of roadside dining, is now available for those heading north.
“Ram Jam Services is an incredibly popular stop off for many motorists so this a great opportunity for us to offer them something new and really exciting.
“Brightside Ram Jam is on a popular route, only 15 minutes from Rutland Water which attracts almost two million visitors every year.
“As well as catering to travellers we are also an excellent choice for those who live nearby, so we’re looking forward to meeting lots of locals too.”
Loungers also operates the Lounges and Cosy Club brands. Earlier this year, the group’s chair said that property availability has “never been better”, as it achieved a record year of openings.
