The Burleigh Arms: a new chapter under Sam Sturman
“ad” – Why is this here? The Burleigh Arms holds a special place in my heart and it is a venue that has truly captured the imagination of the Cambridge Foodies community over the past few years. As I sat down for my fourth review of this historic spot, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the journey we have been on together. It marks the end of an era with the departure of Kareem Roberts – a chef who brought…

The best restaurants in Cambridge for children (and teens)
Eating out with kids and teenagers can be a real balancing act. Once they outgrow the colouring pages and kids’ menus, finding somewhere that pleases everyone without feeling like a compromise for your own palate is easier said than done. Fortunately, Cambridgeshire has plenty of spots that hit the mark. I have tried and tested these with my own family over the years, picking out the places that deliver great food alongside a fun, high-energy atmosphere. Here are my…

King Street is a great place to eat
King Street has long been famous for its legendary pub crawl, but these days, that multi-pub marathon is virtually non-existent. However, the street hasn’t lost its buzz; over the last few years, it has quietly transformed into one of the best food streets in the city. If you fancy a change from the usual city […]

Big Grill Mediterranean opens on Mill Road
“ad” – Why is this here? It is always a bit of a moment when a long-standing Mill Road institution decides to completely reinvent itself. What used to be a local café for two decades has recently undergone a serious transformation and reopened as Big Grill. It is the same Palestinian team behind the scenes, led by Mohammed, but the focus has shifted entirely to Mediterranean charcoal cooking. The restaurant looks significantly better from the outside after a new sign…

Exploring Cambridge Food & Drink Week (9th-17th May)
“ad” – Why is this here? Cambridge Food & Drink Week is currently in full swing, so I decided to spend a sunny May afternoon seeing what it was all about and then sharing it with you! For those who haven’t come across it yet, the event is a city-wide celebration put on by Cambridge BID. The idea is simple: they’ve laid out several themed “trails” that you can follow to discover different spots across the city. You’ve got the…

Xiao Spots: Hong Kong Fusion, St John’s Street
I picked Hong Kong Fusion for my Xiao Spot journey because it’s a place I’ve walked past dozens of times and always meant to pop into. It isn’t tucked away like some of my other Xiao Spots but sits right in the thick of it next to the Round Church. Despite being right in the city centre, it has almost zero internet presence, relying instead on a massive street presence and a reputation that travels by word of mouth.…

JWD Hand Pulled Noodle Bar comes to Cambridge
“ad” – Why is this here? There is a brand-new noodle bar on Regent Street! You’ve probably already heard the name JWD Hand Pulled Noodle Bar, considering they have over 200 locations worldwide. This is a massive move for the chain as it is only their third spot in the UK and they have finally decided to branch out of the London bubble, choosing Cambridge as their very first location outside the capital. Ordering The process is a little different…

Restaurant 22: The Very Essence of Cambridge
If you are looking for the pinnacle of fine dining in Cambridge, then look no further than Restaurant Twenty-Two. Some of the best things in Cambridge are hidden in plain sight, and Restaurant 22 is the perfect example of this. It sits within a Victorian townhouse on Chesterton Road that you could easily walk past without a second thought, but inside, it is producing some of the most extraordinary cuisine in the county. It is a place respected by…

Taj Tandoori – Pan-Asian fusion in Cambridge
“ad” – Why is this here? Every time I walk through the doors of the Taj Tandoori on Cherry Hinton Road, I feel like I am coming home. I have been visiting this place for over a decade now, and I have watched it transform from a humble, basic curry house into one of the most stylish and atmospheric restaurants in Cambridge. But it isn’t just the stunning interior and the warm friendly welcome I always get, it is the…

Borshch Time: A Taste of Ukraine in the Heart of Cambridge 🇺🇦
“ad” – Why is this here? Every now and then, I find an experience that reminds me why I started this blogging journey in the first place. Over the years, hunting for food has led to me meeting some truly amazing people and learning about cultures I might otherwise never have explored. There is something incredibly special about meeting the people behind the cuisine and hearing their stories, and my recent visit to Borshch Time was a perfect example of…
