We have been a few times now when in the area and we really enjoy the food. It is fresh and tasty. We always go for the tapas selection and I tried the tiramachoux which was outstanding.
The service is always friendly too.

I ate at the Fuego Lounge on 12 April 2025. There was a piece of metal in the lamb kofte and it broke my tooth in half. I have been trying to get compensation for the dental treatment, lost earnings, etc since then. Loungers, the parent company, passed me to their insurers who have so far spent 120+ days giving me the runaround. My advice is don't eat at this restaurant. They don't appear to care about their customers and if you do get injured, they will pass you on to their insurers who appear to be using every trick in the book to avoid a resolution. All of this pain for contaminated, mediocre food.

An amazing place to go as a treat or family / group celebration. Staff are attentive and timely with a sense of humour. The food is amazing. It appears to be the place of choice for Birthdays, I forgot how many times we sang happy birthday for a poor victim that was made a fuss of :)

Nice place with friendly atmosphere. Pity the poached eggs were actually hard boiled (both portions). Hollandaise sauce not the best either, but a runny yolk may have saved it (helped mask its over sharpness). Shame that they can't quite get the basics right.. doesn't inspire confidence.

Had a drink and a small plate with my wife on a Saturday afternoon. Atmosphere a bit tired and service ok. Unfortunately my wife bit into a lamb kofte which had a piece of metal the size of a pellet and cracked a molar. This was in mid April and she has had to have an extraction and implant put in costing several thousands of pounds and as yet no compensation for the costs of repairing her tooth nor the lost work and personal time, tremendous pain and inconvenience all due to poor food safety standards and magnified by the worst possible handling of the issue by Lounges.
The manager on duty saw the piece of metal and apologised and did not charge for the food though did for the drinks.
On Monday after seeing her dentist and being told this healthy tooth was cracked through to root and needed extraction my wife contacted the restaurant who?s general manager had already heard from the manager on duty about the incident. He told her that this would go back to head office to resolve. Lounges Ltd head office referred her to their liability insurer, Protector, who after a few days responded that they would be investigating and come back to her within 90 days. It is now over 110 days and no resolution for compensation yet and no communications from Lounges whatsoever despite several follow ups from my wife.
Totally unprofessional handling of this customer experience and incident by Lounges and their insurer Protector Insurance. We will never go to another Lounges restaurant again and of course will share this experience with all of our friends and family.

Service was fast and food delicious. Got 3 small tapas plates which was perfect for my appetite. I particularly loved the veggie quesadillas. Also got a free soft drink with it (tapas Tuesday). The veggie options are great and diverse.
The ambience in the evening is great although the music a bit loud. Great for a meal with a friend!

Good food, good service - terrible network connection in there though so ordering via the app was fun ?

This place is super quirky and has great healthy food. You can order at the bar or via your phone.

We have a similar place in our town called Carlo Lounge (I'm guessing part of a chain, but with an independent vibe). Good food, reasonably priced, fun decor, chilled atmosphere and they were able to accommodate our large party at short notice, which was much appreciated. Will definitely come here again.

Warning if you are planning to eat at the Fuego Lounge in Lewes, East Sussex, part of the Lounges group of cafes and bars.
While eating at the Fuego Lounge in Lewes on Saturday 12 April, I bit into a lamb kofte and broke a molar on a piece of metal which was in the meat. The pain was excruciating, but I initially thought I had just cracked a filling. However, after getting an emergency dental appointment, I was told that the metal had cracked my tooth from top to bottom, that the tooth would have to be removed, and I would need to get an implant if I wanted to restore the appearance of my teeth.
Given the extortionate cost of getting an implant, I contacted the Lounges group Head Office, to ask if they would provide compensation. I was told that they would pass the matter on to their insurers who would contact me, as would their Operational team and Health and Safety team. After three days I had to contact Lounges again as neither the insurer, nor either of their teams had been in touch. The insurer then contacted me, requesting information, and informing me that they had 90 days in which to decide whether they would admit liability. He made it clear that I shouldn?t expect to hear from him before the 90 days had expired.
A month after contacting Lounges, I had still not been contacted by their Operational or Health and Safety teams. After chasing Lounges again, someone from their Operational team finally contacted me to say that as the matter was in the hands of their insurers they couldn?t answer any of my questions. Given that one of my questions was asking if they had carried out their own investigation into how the metal got into the meat, I was very concerned that the same thing could happen to someone else, which is why I am writing this review. Nobody should lose a healthy tooth and be put through all the pain, trauma, inconvenience and expense to have it put right, just because they ate at a restaurant. I was in terrible pain for a month, and will need to go through further painful dental surgery over the next few months. If you are thinking about eating at any of the 250+ Lounges run cafes or bars, I would wait until they have reviewed and clarified their food safety processes. Given the size of the Lounges portfolio, my guess is that their approach to food preparation and safety is the same in every restaurant.
And I have still not heard from the Health and Safety team?
