Higgsy’s Burgers opens a brand new restaurant in Peterborough
It’s been a long time coming, but I have finally caught up with Higgsy’s again! If you’ve been following our burger league table, you’ll already know that I have consistently ranked Higgsy’s as serving up some of the absolute best burgers in Cambridgeshire. After dealing with a ridiculous amount of council nonsense, planning headaches, and…

Hickory’s Smokehouse comes to Cambridgeshire
“AD” I recently made the trek out to the new Hickory’s Smokehouse on the edge of Peterborough to see if it lived up to the hype. They are a large chain who specialise in slow-smoked barbeque meats with dozens of locations across the UK. They initially started up north and have slowly moved their way…

Cambridge Food Hunter 5: The 1 meter pizza from Deli Chef by Divino
It has been a while since our last episode of Cambridge Food Hunter, where we hunt down the biggest and most extravagant dishes in the Cambridgeshire area! For this chapter, we are heading slightly north to a spot that defines the term “hidden gem” for a giant pizza unrivalled anywhere else in the county. Location…

Gurkha Durbaar – Nepalese cuisine in Peterborough
As a belated birthday gift from my little sister, I was taken out for a meal at any restaurant of my choosing. One particular place I have been longing to visit for some time now is Gurkha Durbaar, a Nepalese restaurant located down Broadway, in Peterborough. I used to work several doors down and was…

The Boathouse, Peterborough
[Invite] – click here Being a foodie means something different to everyone. While puritans will say that only small independents will do, others look for value or try to find interesting dishes in the most unlikely of places. Tonight, I headed with Cambridge Foodies moderator Gerry to explore the recently refurbished Boathouse in Peterborough. This is…

Higgsy’s – Home of the Redneck Burger!
It’s been a long time coming but I have finally made it! Recently voted the most popular burger joint in Cambridgeshire by Cambridgeshire Live readers, Higgsy’s is getting quite a name for itself, especially considering that they have only been open a year. Located in a layby between Yaxley and the A1(M), you’d be forgiven…

Stoneworks – Peterborough
In the final part of my Peterborough craft beer journey, we popped into Stoneworks on Church Street. Located in a basement on the main square, Stoneworks offers a wide selection of quality drinks. It looks like a regular ground level bar from the outside but from the moment you enter you are immediately led underground…

Royal Spiceland – Sawtry
Invite – click here. There was a time when Cambridgeshire was filled with Indian buffets. Cafe Naz and Moza to name a few. Now days, you will be lucky to find one open at all, and even then it will only be open once a week. Namaste Village still offers the buffet experience on Sundays and…

Bottle & Board – Peterborough
On the third part of our Peterborough craft beer tour, we decided to pop into ‘Bottle & Board’ on Wentworth Street. This is a place which focuses on the more Germanic and Belgium beer side of things, so technically it isn’t “craft beer’. This may upset some of the purists reading the blog but it…

Blind Tiger – Peterborough
I have been looking forward to visiting Blind Tiger for nearly a year now. Often, when I speak with someone about craft beer in Peterborough this is the first place they mention, so it’s reputation speaks for itself. I can see why too. It’s hard to compete with 26 taps and a 100 cans and…

The Brewery Tap – Peterborough
I have been itching to get some reviews done in Peterborough for a while now. People read ‘Cambridge Foodies’ but fail to realise we cover the entirety of Cambridgeshire. Perhaps I should have named it the ‘Cambridgeshire Foodies’ but I think we can all agree that it does not have the same zing to it!…
