Pico Lounge is a part of The Loungers chain, this is one of the largest Lounges I've visited located at the Howard Town Shopping Park in Glossop, it's located in a small retail park within the town, with a large parking lot which appears to be free to use.
The interior and set-up is pretty much the same as every other restaurant within the chain, albeit a little larger, the decor and style with the mismatched furniture and wall art appear to be the same, but the vibes are pretty cool.
The staff seemed friendly, although they could have done with more people working the bar to take orders quicker, but I did visit on a busy Saturday and they were trying their best so can't hold this against them too much. There is always the option to order the food at your table using a QR code, but I was unable to do this as I have an allergy and must order at the counter with a manager.
The manager who took my order was friendly and was happy to make the changes I wanted to my dish without any trouble. The other members of my party ordered a dessert, and they were charged for a more expensive one than the one they wanted, this was their error however due to having two similar dishes on the menu. They did get the more expensive dessert and enjoyed it.
I ordered the GF Lounge Breakfast with the following changes:
- Poached Eggs instead of fried
- An extra egg in place of the GF roll (I hate seeded bread!)
- An extra sausage instead of the bacon
My breakfast arrived in good time, again considering I visited outside of the usual breakfast window and how busy they were, was a good factor. My breakfast was hot, including the beans, which I appreciate is difficult when making so many individual items. One of the eggs was a little too firm for me, and the tomato was a little hard, but all in all, I enjoyed my meal. The sausages were good quality, and the hash browns were crispy and it was well-seasoned.
It's a good Lounge overall and I would certainly return the next time I'm in Glossop with many good things to write about for sure. 4* read more
