Loungers to open restaurant at The Mall at Cribbs Causeway

18th August 2026 | Jack Oliver

Loungers is set to open a new restaurant this week at The Mall at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol.

The operator’s new venue, named Picaro Lounge, will occupy the former Pizza Hut unit in the scheme’s food court, and will offer a menu that includes brunch, tapas, toasties and salads to burgers, tacos, noodles, and fried chicken.

The unit has been transformed by the Loungers design team, now featuring patterned wallpapers, murals, colourful tiling, stripped wooden floors, vintage sofas, and upholstered lounge chairs.

Katie Searle, director of asset management at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, asset manager for Cribbs, said: “The opening of Picaro Lounge is a huge milestone in the transformation of the dining offering at Cribbs as we continue to evolve our line-up to suit the needs of our visitors. Loungers have become one of UK hospitality’s most recent success stories and it is great to see them return to their roots in Bristol with this amazing new offering. Since announcing that Picaro Lounge was coming to Cribbs we have seen a real buzz from our visitors, so we look forward to seeing this location thrive over the coming years.”

Ollie Carlton, general manager at Picaro Lounge, added: “We’re so excited to finally welcome the community and shoppers into Picaro Lounge. The support and enthusiasm have been incredible, and we can’t wait to open our doors and become a place where everyone comes together to enjoy great food, great drinks and a brilliant atmosphere.”
