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.

A person picks up a French fry from a plate with fried chicken, fries in a blue bowl, coleslaw, and dipping sauce. A drink with ice sits nearby on a colorful checkered table.
A plate with avocado toast topped with poached eggs, pickled onions, and herbs sits on a marble table, next to a fork and knife. Another plate with hash browns and beans is partially visible.
A yellow coffee cup with latte art on top sits on a red saucer with a spoon, placed on a wooden table; a green floral-patterned cushion is visible beside the table.
