We are extremely delighted to announce that Loungers won the Casual Dining Group of the Year award at last week’s Casual Dining Awards 2026.
Each year, we are thrilled to be nominated for these awards, showcasing our commitment to providing world-class hospitality. This year, we were up for three awards, so we sent a group of Loungers along to the ceremony in London, hosted by actor Stephen Mangan, including Lounge Managing Director Kate Eastwood and Lounge Head of Food Caine Langford.
First up was Employer Of The Year (50+ Sites), which we didn’t take home, but were thrilled to be nominated alongside top-tier employers such as Greene King, Stonegate Group and Nando’s, who took home the award.
Our second nomination was for Pub/Bar Brand Of The Year (50+ Sites). Fellow nominees included J D Wetherspoon, Urban Pubs & Bars, Young’s, and the winner, Fuller’s.
Finally, we were also up for Casual Dining Group Of The Year, where we were thrilled to take home the prize. This was a strong category this year, with fellow nominees The Big Table Group, JKS Restaurants, Arcturus Group, Azzurri Group, Mitchells & Butlers, and The Restaurant Group all providing amazing services to their customers.
