The Lounge Wine Bar in Brentwood

We recently hosted a private event for 60 people to celebrate a Christening, and it was absolutely perfect! The mix of adults and children were well accommodated with a wonderful selection of sandwiches, hot platters, and cakes. The food was delicious, fresh, and well-presented, catering to everyone's tastes. The service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the event run smoothly. The venue itself is in a perfect spot, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The little terrace outside was a great touch, providing a lovely space for guests to enjoy drinks and chat in the fresh air. Overall, this venue exceeded our expectations and made our celebration memorable. Highly recommend for any private events!

Avoid weekends at all cost. Totally understaffed. We waited 15 minutes for 2 coffees and after a further 40 minute wait for 2 toasties my husband got up to pay for the coffee. That very minute one toastie arrived… burnt sourdough with thick slices of tomato and hardly any cheese, limp rocket with too much balsamic glaze. The other order was still missing! Sorry guys, will not return.

Always loved this place - lovely atmosphere and nice staff - long may it continue - Ingatestone is a lovely place to live and to visit

Excellent service, great venue, good music and intimate atmosphere. We had a wonderful experience and looking forward to visiting again. Cheese board is thoroughly recommended. Thanks for being such a great host Paul.

Great atmosphere and beautiful space. Not much options for vegan. Would expect loose tea leaves not Lichfield in a setting like this. But staff kind and polite so makes up for it.

Hopefully some constructive criticism - this was our first visit and we called in for a coffee on the morning of the village Halloween trail (so the High St was probably busier than normal). We asked if there were any croissants - the girl serving said "I'm not sure if we've got any left - I'll check - they might have all gone..." (I found this surprising as it was only 10:15am and I'd have thought they would have been prepared for a larger footfall than normal.....) The manager (I assume) spoke to a young lad behind the counter and the young lad told us he just needed to go out and get some more. So we waited - and then the young lad came back (obviously from the Co-op) with two packets of croissants....I think you can see the problem....We probably won't visit again...

I had an incredible time at this gorgeous wine bar in Ingatestone. This new upcoming business is such a great addition to the town. The team here are super friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. The unique vintage Italian feel to this wine bar is like nothing I've experienced before. From start to finish of our night was so lovely and could not fault, not to mention how delicious the food was that complimented the wine perfectly. Would highly recommend this place and defiantly be returning soon.
