A hospitality venue at Pembrokeshire County Council’s new Western Quayside development in Haverfordwest is to open before Christmas.

Hospitality company Loungers intends to occupy the ground floor of the building with the Waldo Lounge, part of the council’s long-term regeneration plan for the county town.

Waldo Lounge will be open all day, every day for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks, including full kids’, gluten-free and vegan menus, and will open on Wednesday, November 20.

Loungers, founded in 2002, runs Lounge café bars across the UK – including the Cofio Lounge at the Guildhall, Carmarthen.

Pembrokeshire County Council Deputy Leader Cllr Paul Miller said: “It’s great to have confirmation the Waldo Lounge at the council’s Western Quayside Development will open ahead of the busy Christmas period.

“Western Quayside is a key part of this council’s wide-ranging plans for regeneration in Haverfordwest to boost footfall in the town centre for the benefit of all businesses. How Loungers plans to integrate the Waldo Lounge into the local community is exactly what we want to see for the County Town.

“We want Haverfordwest to always be an attractive place to live, work and visit and we wish Loungers every success in Haverfordwest.”
