Save The Lounge Wine Bar, Ingatestone from losing its license
There is a premises licensing review being held at Brentwood Borough Council offices at 7:00pm on Tuesday 27th January 2026 where the matter of revoking the licence of The Lounge Wine Bar, High Street, Ingatestone will be heard.
I am asking those of us who support the business, the High Street and Ingatestone in general to sign this petition urgently to demonstrate to the few who have complained about it that we truly value The Lounge and its contribution to our community. We need more small businesses like this and less empty premises in Ingatestone.

We support the premises and its licence and we strongly believe that the premises is a well-managed and safe premises that effectively promotes the four licensing objectives being the prevention of crime and disorder, ensuring public safety, preventing public nuisance, and the protection of children from harm.

The hearing was last night. The great news is that The Lounge will be allowed to continue trading without any alterations to its current license. Many thanks to each and everyone that signed this petition. Let's all now make a point of visiting The Lounge even more often not only to give it the support it deserves but to enjoy the great offering it has. This petition will now be closed. Let's meet our like minded friends over a cup, glass or a plate of food at The Lounge for many years to come.
