A NEW cafe/bar is set to open on a Bucks high street tonight.

Loungers will launch a new casual dining and drinking spot called Merletto Lounge at 4 High Street in High Wycombe this evening (March 30).

A launch party kicks off at 6pm.

The new venue is in the old Boots shop unit, next door to the old Wheatsheaf pub which is being renovated and returned to its former glory.

“We're opening a new cafe/bar called Merletto Lounge on the high street in High Wycombe on Wednesday 30th March,” a Merletto spokesman.

“We negotiated an early release with Boots, who had moved out a year or so ago, and then agreed a new lease with Loungers,” a PMCD spokesman. “They are opening this week, following a major refurb.”
