Mangiare Italian Restaurant, Ely
Ely’s food scene is thriving, boasting a diverse selection of interesting restaurants with dishes from across the globe. However, it has historically lacked certain rudimentary options that you would expect from any other city or town of a similar size. Most notably, a traditional Chinese and an Italian restaurant. Last year, locals prayers were answered with the opening of Mangiare, situated in the Ely Leisure Park next to the cinema. This independent Italian restaurant is…

The Pasta Bar (food van), Ely
Pasta isn’t typically what springs to mind when I think of a food van, so I was naturally curious to see what The Pasta Bar would offer during my visit to Ely Market. While I prepare a lot of pasta dishes at home, it’s rarely my go-to when dining out. However, after hearing positive feedback from local vloggers and influencers, I decided to trust their recommendations and order some lunch. The menu is concise, featuring…

Tapas in Ely! @ The Griddle Bar & Meathouse!
“AD” – Why is this here? Ely’s vibrant food scene just keeps getting better! Today, I headed down to the Griddle Bar & Meathouse on High Street Passage to check out their exciting new tapas menu. While I am a big fan of the Griddle Bar’s usual steaks, burgers, and bacon baps, this hot summer weather had me craving something a bit more refreshing and fun. Their new tapas menu seem like just the right vibe…

Malabarikh Atelier – South Indian food comes to Ely!
Ely has always been home to fantastic Bangladeshi-style Indian restaurants, offering all the classic curries we know and love. But what’s been missing is an authentic, traditional Indian experience… …My prayers were answered last week when Malabarikh Atelier opened its doors offering exactly that. Located on Forehill in the old Cromwell bar, Malabarikh Atelier is Ely’s first authentic South Indian restaurant, bringing an entirely new cuisine to our already booming foodie scene. As the name…

Alban Home Food & Catering @ Ely Market
It was a sunny bank holiday Monday and the Ely Market was bustling with its usual wide array of food vans. Each one was tempting me in a different direction with an offering of traditional, fusion, or global cuisine. I visit the Ely Market so frequently that I wrongly presumed to have sampled everything it has to offer…That was until I saw a red flag standing proud atop a tall black pole, resembling the unmistakable…

The Orangery Restaurant @ The Old Hall, Stuntney (Ely)
AD – Why is this here? Nestled in the tranquil village of Stuntney, The Old Hall is a truly magnificent hotel well known for its historic architecture and truly spectacular gardens. I was excited to revisit, having last been here for my stepsister’s wedding nearly ten years ago. I vividly remember its meticulously manicured lawns, beautifully maintained pond, and the serene pathways that invite scenic strolls under the watchful eye of Ely Cathedral. It’s a…

Anto burgers (food van) @ The Chequers, Sutton
It has been a long time coming but Sutton finally gets its first proper food van! 🥳 The village has experienced a surge of life since the new owner took over The Chequers, with an exciting lineup of events planned for the pub in the coming months. The most exciting news is that the pub will start hosting food vans. This is something Sutton has missed out on for years, in my opinion, with other…

The Ladz, Ely
[Invite] – click here Located on the Ely High Street at the very back of the Spar shop, is an often overlooked food outlet called “The Ladz”. You may remember The Ladz for its brief time open down Mill Road, in Cambridge. This restaurant has since closed but is alive and kicking only a short journey away in the city of Ely. It is an easy place to miss, with only a couple of small logos…

An in-depth review of the ‘Griddle Bar & Meathouse’ in Ely
[Invite] – click here If there is one restaurant I have been looking forward to opening in Cambridgeshire, it is the ‘Griddle Bar & Meathouse’ in Ely. Last Tuesday, their doors finally opened and I finally got to see the restaurant in all its glory. There are several reasons to be excited about the Griddle Bar… The first being that Ely has now got an exclusive steak house and burger joint in the city. It is…

Amelie @ Ben’s Yard
[Invite] – click here It was all the way back in 2018 when the original Amelie first stole our hearts. I remember visiting their little yellow food van the month it opened in the Grafton Centre. I visited with my friend (and fellow blogger) for his review of their wheelchair access and we both thoroughly enjoyed our experience (read the review here). Amelie stands out from the competitive Cambridge food scene by offering a common European…
