Tabure A rich mosaic of Mediterranean, Aegean and Asian flavours. TABURE is Turkish for a stool synonymous with our Turkish culture and eating. Opening April 2015
(512)

Every street food vendor would scatter their tabures around their stalls for customers to sit and eat their freshly cooked fare. Neighbours sit together, on their tabures in front of their houses to watch the world go by whilst eating an endless supply of sunflower seeds and drinking cay. It is this fundamental sense of commune that was the inspiration behind the name of our restaurant, a part of

the fabric of Turkish life. At TABURE, the food is a melting pot of smaller dishes all prepared in house using fresh, high quality, seasonal ingredients. Additionally there is a house cocktail menu on offer from the bar which goes beyond the classics, and inspired by flavours of Turkey such as pomegranate, mulberry, and star anise. With many wines available by small 125ml glass, a carafe for two or by the bottle, diners will have the chance to sample a wider range of flavours to accompany their individual food choices. TABURE will offer a set lunch and early evening menu along with a la carte.

In Turkey, patisserie’s & bakeries are a big part of our lives.. Every neighbourhood has at least one and freshly baked goodies like “ekler” (as I found out later in life “éclair” ) or “Milfoy” (again mille feuille) crispy layers of pastry with creme patissiere were nothing out of the ordinary when growing up in Turkey.
Little sweet or savoury biscuits called kurabiye’s were eaten and enjoyed with lots of Turkish tea in almost every household..
For years I had a dream of recreating these amazing Turkish delights here in Hertfordshire.
With everything happening and whilst working almost around the clock to adapt our business to these new days, I’ve felt there was no better time to launch our new patisserie and bakery offering..
They are all made lovingly, from sracth by us using real butter, free range eggs.. Eclair filled with creme patissiere made by us... All freshly baked every day with no added preservatives ..
We will be adding more to our selection slowly as we listen to your feedback but so far these little beauties are online for ordering and proving very popular..

Tahini & Peanut Kurabiye

The ‘Hospitality’ industry is a ‘People’ industry.

Tabure St Albans, which opened its doors 5 years ago this month, is the sum of all the people who have worked and dined in it.

As we worked on the fit out, as we worked to train the opening team on what we wanted Tabure to offer, and once open, as we learnt from our customers of their expectations, what they liked and disliked we stressed and strained to get things just right, to settle into our own little niche.

We learnt from our staff what their strengths & weaknesses were and built systems around both these elements to create the environment and the offering we have today. It took years, and we have all sacrificed so much in the process. And we continue to, as there is no other choice if you want to survive in hospitality.

The staff who have come and gone over the years have always impacted on the offering we have been able to deliver, with their individual characters and their personal efforts always shining through for better or for worse.

A picture from two years ago shows me a happy moment in our kitchen. It also reminds me of those that have come and gone and those that still remain part of the team.
Tio who returned to his homeland Spain, Ozzy who left only to return a year or so later to join our journey once more, literally working now preparing takeaways for home delivery on this sunny Sunday afternoon.
Shwan who moved on at the start of this year since helping us to open Berkhamsted three years ago still has his name etched on our menu through his artichoke recipe. Amoa who is enjoying a well earned day off today.
Eddy who is driving around Berkhamsted delivering food to our regulars looking for that bit of comfort and sense of normality we can offer through our food.

So when I think about where we are right now, in April 2020 and working through such extraordinary times, I look at the picture below and remind myself that change is a fact of life.
Adapting to this change is vital. Ensuring that we remain ‘relevant’ is no more or less important now than every other day since we opened our doors.

Life after all must go on, and so too will Tabure.

For now we will continue delivering our much loved food to your homes on Thursday & Friday from 5pm and Saturday & Sunday from 1pm.
And tomorrow we will just have to wait and see...... but neither do we stop working on tomorrow either.

The ‘Hospitality’ industry is a ‘People’ industry. And the Tabure team will continue to create, to try to excite and give enjoyment to our customers.

It’s been so heartwarming to have been able to still offer many familiar faces a treat around St Albans to help celebrate a birthday or anniversary with a delivery of our food. To see some treating others through a voucher or a secret order as a surprise. That’s what hospitality is all about.

And I ask that you all play a part in our story too, by ordering a home delivery through our website www.tabure.co.uk
