Best service we ve ever experienced. The milkshakes were delicious 😋 The coffee was smooth and had well balanced aroma. We tried the gluten free brownie and the vegan club sandwich. They were absolutely amazing. Tasty and healthier option for us . Thank you for your kind and friendly service. We will definitely coming again.

I’ve eaten at centro lounge several times in the past. As a coeliac I eat gluten free and they do a reasonable gluten free menu. However I probably won’t be eating here again, and not because of the food. I’d called a week before to ask about booking a table for 4 people. I was told that they don’t take bookings for small groups and only take bookings for larger groups. I explained why we had chosen to come to centro and was reassured that they have a high table turnover so that although they wouldn’t take a booking for us we would still be able to get a table but may have to wait a few minutes. I was happy to go with this and so were my husband and his friend and her wife. On the evening we had planned we met up and headed to Centro. It looked busy but as I approached I noticed multiple empty tables in the window area and once through the door I noticed a couple of larger tables. The larger tables had reserved signs on them but the other smaller tables did not. We were greeted by a a guy at the door and he asked us if he could help. We asked for a table for 4 and then told in a rather blunt and rude way that they had no tables available. It was just after 5pm on a Saturday and we asked if there would be anything available a bit later and said we didn’t mind waiting and just having a drink while we waited. From the response we got this did not seem to be an option the man we spoke to wanted. I tried to explain that I had called earlier in the week and that I had been reassured that if I was happy to wait a table would be available eventually but he would not accept this. I even asked about the empty tables I had seen as we approached centro. He didn’t seem interested at all. So we left and instead we went to Tarboush. Turns out this was an excellent decision as almost all of the food they do is gluten free and I have to say so much tastier and the service friendly helpful and fun. We had an amazing evening but NOT as centro lounge.

Always enjoy a great meal eating out or dining in with family and friends - we enjoy the varied menu choices, gluten free and veggie options. Especially the new Pollo Fiesta pizza…it’s yum! As regulars I thought to share this review because it’s not often you can visit a restaurant (over many years) and the quality of food and customer service just gets better. Many happy memories made with kids parties, family celebrations and cosying up at home with a GREAT pizza.

Well done Harvester. As a ceoliac i often struggle to eat out and always stress about being an inconvenience to the restaurant staff. The staff at the Harvester in Loughbrough made me feel so easy about it all. The waitress explained their menu to me. We discussed what i could and couldnt have. She went out of her way to help me decide and when it came it was delicious. To top off the experience, they could provide me with a Gluten free Lager (Daura Damn), which was the icing on the cake. Took the stress right out of the situation for me. Thank you so much xx

Visited for afternoon tea based on the reviews we saw on here and were not disappointed! Delicious afternoon tea, all homemade and beautifully presented. One of the party is gluten free and they were delighted that they were provided with the same items as everyone else, but in gluten free format. Highly recommend.
