Our Lounge

Tambo Lounge is part of the historic and beautiful Victorian Buttermarket (hence the dairy link in our name), by the Town Hall in the heart of Newark. It’s a big space that stretches back to some cosy corners inside, with a terrace out in the handsome atrium of the Buttermarket itself – perfect whatever the weather. We serve a great range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten free and vegan menus) in a relaxed, laid back atmosphere, surrounded by quite the most spectacular floral print wallpaper – bloomin’ lovely.
