An ever-growing chain of cafe and bars is set to cut the ribbon on its latest outlet next week - two weeks later than originally planned.

The Leo Lounge in the old NatWest building on Faversham’s Market Street will open for business next Wednesday - July 10.

Loungers has opened a string of its popular Lounge outlets in recent months - Faversham's arrives next week

It is the latest from the West Country-based Loungers group which has recently opened sites in Ramsgate, Westwood Cross and Deal.

It also owns the Cosy Club brand which has an outlet in Canterbury.

Faversham’s Leo Lounge will follow in the footsteps of other Lounge eateries - offering an extensive menu and open every day.
