We are a family business group operating within a number of industries including construction, security, technology consultancy. In July 2019, we landed the opportunity to turn around the historical Fusilier public house. The property needed a lot of work to regenerate it and, coupled with our approach of doing things right first time, we invested a significant amount of resources to turn this place around.We wanted to give customers a restaurant that they can come dine in that offered quality food, as well as local watering hole. Given the close proximity of the restaurant to Wembley Stadium, we decided to name the restaurant the 'Arena Lounge'.Today, we are pleased to provide our customers a comfortable, stylish and cosy environment that they can sit back in, socalise and have a tasty Kenyan, Indo-Chinese infused meal in.Please join us at the Arena Lounge.

Gorgoeous place to dine with great interior design. Food is nice to eat and good place for occasions and get togethers with family and friends. I would say more staff is needed and possibly have music playing in the restaurant to give more ambience, service can be improved with staff showing more positive personality.
