Our Lounge

Tarko Lounge wanders over a couple of beautifully bright and airy floors on the edge of the Green Lanes shopping center in Barnstaple. We’re on a lovely corner site with a great little outside terrace and full height windows that open right up, perfect for people watching. Our fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten free and vegan menus) is served in a really relaxed, welcoming and very floral space. Despite our name, no otters were harmed in the making of this Lounge.
