Lunch in Tring
Looking for lunch in Tring? Whether you're shopping on the High Street, working nearby, or stopping off after a morning at the Natural History Museum or a walk in Tring Park, you want something quick enough for a weekday but a cut above a meal-deal sandwich. At Tarboush, lunch is Lebanese mezze — a spread of small, freshly made plates you share and pick from — served right in the middle of Tring High Street.
This is a quick guide to where to have lunch in Tring, what's on, when it's served, and what makes mezze such a good midday choice.
The lunch deal: 3 mezze for £15
Our lunch menu keeps it simple and generous: 3 mezze for £15, then add any further mezze for just £5 each. It's the relaxed Lebanese way to eat — order a few plates, tear some warm bread, and share across the table.
The lunch menu is served Sunday to Thursday, 12:00pm – 5:00pm. It works for just about any kind of midday plan:
- a quick, proper sit-down lunch between errands on the High Street,
- a light, shareable meal with a friend or colleague,
- refuelling after Tring Park, Ashridge or the museum,
- a relaxed family lunch (there's a Little Tarboush children's menu too).
Why mezze makes a great lunch
If you've only ever thought of lunch as a sandwich or a single plate, mezze is a refreshing change. Because the dishes are small and shared, you can eat as lightly or as heartily as you like — three plates for a quick bite, or keep adding at £5 a go for a longer, lazier lunch. It's freshly made, full of flavour, and easy to fit into a busy day. For a town that asks "where to eat in Tring at lunchtime?", a shared Lebanese table is one of the most relaxed answers on the High Street.
What's on the mezze table
The beauty of mezze is variety — there's something for every appetite. A few favourites from the lunch list:
- Hummus and Hummus Beirut (with parsley and a kick of green chilli),
- Moutabal — smoked aubergine with tahini and lemon,
- Grilled Halloumi straight off the charcoal,
- Falafel with tahini dressing,
- Batata Hara — spicy fried potatoes with coriander, peppers and garlic,
- Lamb or Chicken Sambousek — Lebanese pastries, stuffed and golden,
- Arayes — Lebanese bread filled with minced lamb and grilled.
Build a plate of three, or keep adding until the table's full. If you want to go deeper into how a Lebanese spread works, read our guide to Lebanese mezze.
Vegan, vegetarian and halal
Mezze is naturally one of the most vegan- and vegetarian-friendly lunches in town — hummus, falafel, vine leaves, spiced cauliflower, batata hara, gigantes and more are all plant-based, so a table of mixed diets is easy to feed. Everything at Tarboush is halal, so there's no second-guessing the menu.
Lunch with the kids
Bringing little ones? The Little Tarboush children's menu keeps lunch stress-free — a Grilled Chicken Tawouk Skewer, Grilled Chicken Wings, or Cheese Sambousek, each served with chips or rice and salad.
