The London lunch rut is real. Between the sad desk sandwich, the overpriced meal deal and the salad that leaves you rummaging through the snack drawer by 3pm, finding something that’s both good for you and genuinely enjoyable can feel like a tall order. Tossed is hoping to make that decision a little easier, with a refreshed restaurant design and a new menu (plus an exciting expansion).
A little more choice on the menu
The London-born salad bar, which first opened in 2005, has unveiled its new ‘Feel Good, Your Way’ concept at its London Wall restaurant. The thinking is that no two appetites are quite the same: some of us want a protein-packed lunch, others are after a fibre boost, a little more gut-friendly goodness or simply something that won’t leave us feeling sluggish for the rest of the afternoon.
Every dish is made to order, with calories and macronutrients displayed on the menu, so diners can see what’s going into their bowl and make choices that suit them. No nutritional degree required.
What’s cooking at Tossed?
The new menu has plenty to get your teeth into, starting with the Korean kimchi chicken powerbowl. Spicy marinated chicken thigh, crunchy rainbow slaw, kimchi and Tossed’s signature kimchi-ranch dressing make for a rather convincing case for putting down that desk sandwich.
Plant-based diners haven’t been left out, either. The Twelve veg tofu salad brings together twelve fresh vegetables, crispy smoked tofu, harissa-roasted chickpeas and a smooth tahini dressing. And for anyone who fancies something warm, the £9.99 hot meal deal pairs a halloumi and falafel toasted wrap with spicy tomato and chickpea soup. Consider the lunchtime salad rut officially interrupted.
A fresh look for London Wall
There’s more than a menu makeover happening, too. Tossed’s London Wall restaurant, at 58 London Wall, has had a design refresh, complete with a new mural by artist James Daw. The revamped space is intended to set the tone for future Tossed restaurants, with the new look eventually rolling out across its other sites.
Next stop: Gatwick
Tossed is also spreading its wings beyond the capital’s office districts, with its first airport restaurant due to open at London Gatwick’s North Terminal in November. The 12th site for the brand, it’ll bring its made-to-order approach to travellers who know all too well that finding a decent lunch at the airport can be easier said than done.
For now, the new menu is available at Tossed London Wall, 58 London Wall, EC2M 5TR or via online collection here.
