Cosy Club

What Cosy Club does

Cosy Club is an all-day casual dining and bar restaurant chain operating 37 locations across England and Wales, including cities such as London (Westfield Stratford opening), Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff, Leeds, and York. It is a trading brand of Loungers, a privately held UK hospitality group that also operates the Lounge and Brightside concepts. Cosy Club's offer centres on full-service dining from breakfast through late-night cocktails, set inside characterful buildings — Victorian banks, former cinemas, Grade II listed structures, and historic exchanges — finished with a 1920s-inspired décor of chandeliers and glamorous bars.

The company's product surface is organised around several modules beyond the core menu. Bottomless Brunch (£25pp for 90 minutes of unlimited drinks) launched in 2025, supported by seasonal packages for graduations, Christmas, and weddings. A dedicated private hire and events business packages group dining, cocktail masterclasses, and corporate meeting bundles (e.g., Power Lunch £20.95pp, Boardroom Banquet £32.95pp). Wedding ceremonies are hosted at selected sites (e.g., Nottingham) with three tiered packages. Kids menu pricing benefits from a 5% VAT rate from 25 June 2026. Gift cards are sold through a dedicated Toggle-powered vouchers site, valid for 12 months across the estate.

The underlying technology is intentionally lean and outsourced. There is no proprietary platform; Cosy Club relies on ResDiary for table reservations and post-dining feedback flows, Stripe for card processing on private bookings and no-show charges, and Toggle for gift card issuance. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and physical-restaurant-led, with city-centre and shopping-centre locations (e.g., Westfield Stratford, St David's Cardiff, Gunwharf Quays), online booking, walk-ins, and an events-driven marketing calendar across graduation, Christmas, and corporate seasons. Headcount sits in the 1,001–5,000 band, consistent with a 37-site casual dining operator. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed at the brand level.
