Things to Do in Tring — and Where to Eat Afterwards

Planning a day out in Tring? Whether you're visiting with family, meeting friends for a countryside walk or exploring Hertfordshire for the weekend, Tring is one of those towns that makes a simple day feel special.

Set on the edge of the Chilterns, Tring has a lovely mix of history, countryside, independent shops and local places to eat. And when you've finished exploring, Tarboush Tring is waiting on the High Street with fresh Lebanese and Mediterranean food, warm hospitality and plenty of dishes made for sharing.

Here is a simple guide to the best things to do in Tring — and where to eat when you're ready to sit down, relax and enjoy a proper meal.

Visit the Natural History Museum at Tring

One of Tring's best-known attractions is the Natural History Museum at Tring. It's a fascinating place for families, curious children, museum lovers and anyone who enjoys something a little different. The museum is home to an impressive collection of animals, birds and natural history displays, making it a great choice for a morning or afternoon visit.

It's also close enough to the town centre that you can easily combine your museum trip with lunch or dinner on Tring High Street. After walking the galleries, Tarboush is only a short stroll away and offers a warm, comfortable setting for families, couples and groups.

Take a walk through Tring Park

If you prefer fresh air and open space, Tring Park is a beautiful place to stretch your legs. With woodland, open views and historic landscape features, it's ideal for a gentle walk before lunch or an afternoon stroll before dinner.

A walk in Tring Park pairs perfectly with Lebanese food afterwards. Mezze is especially good after a day outside because it's fresh, colourful and easy to share — start with hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, vine leaves and warm Lebanese bread, then add hot mezze or charcoal grills if you're hungry. Everything on our menu is cooked fresh to order, so you can keep it light or settle in for a full sharing feast.

Explore Ashridge Estate

A short drive from Tring, Ashridge Estate is one of the most beautiful countryside spots in the area. With woodland, chalk downland, walking routes and seasonal scenery, it draws visitors from across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and beyond.

After a long walk at Ashridge, a proper meal always feels well earned. Instead of heading straight home, many visitors come into Tring for food, drinks and a slower end to the day. Our Lebanese charcoal grills, fresh salads, rice dishes and mezze platters are ideal after a countryside walk.

Walk around Tring High Street

Tring High Street has plenty of charm — independent shops, historic buildings, cafés, pubs and restaurants, all within easy walking distance.

Tarboush Tring is located at 50 High Street, right in the heart of town. The building has its own character, with a warm Middle Eastern feel inside and a menu built around family recipes. If you're visiting Tring for the first time, eating on the High Street is a lovely way to finish the day — enjoy the town, avoid rushing, and turn a simple visit into a proper lunch or dinner.

What to order at Tarboush after a day out

If you're new to Lebanese food, the best way to enjoy it is to share. Lebanese dining is generous, social and relaxed — perfect after exploring Tring.

For a light lunch — a few cold mezze such as hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh and vine leaves with warm Lebanese bread. Add falafel or grilled halloumi for something extra.
For a family meal — a mix of mezze, grilled meats, rice and salad so everyone can try a little of everything.
For vegetarians and vegans — hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, vine leaves, olives and grilled vegetables, all full of flavour. See our vegan & vegetarian options.
For meat lovers — the charcoal grill: chicken tawouk, lamb shish, kofte and mixed grills, marinated, cooked over fire and served with rice, salad and bread.
For groups — our Tarboush Set Menu is a simple way to enjoy a generous spread, ideal for parties, celebrations and group meals.

Pair your meal with something from our dedicated Lebanese wine list for the full Mediterranean experience.
