SAVOUR & S I P

STIR IT UP! BRUNCH AND BAKERY Chesterton favourite Stir has expanded, with a new Histon hub that’s now open for business. Just like at the original brunches, killer coffee and homemade bread – as well as amazing sweet bakes from the Stir branch, customers can expect brilliant bakery, like doughnuts and babka. You can find it on School Hill.

Alfresco Eating DON’T MISS THE CHANCE TO ENJOY DRINKS OR DINNER AT ONE OF THIS SUMMER’S HOTTEST OUTDOOR DINING EXPERIENCES

THE LAWN AT GONVILLE An instant challenger for the title of best outdoor dining when it was unveiled at the start of the summer, The Lawn at Gonville Hotel boasts a marquee, live jazz and garden games. There’s an English country garden feel to the experience – especially when the croquet comes out – while the menu includes steaks, salads and seafood.

BRIX & MORTAR Named by The Times newspaper as one of the UK’s top alfresco eating spots, Brix & Mortar’s garden is a delight. A grassy meadow in the peaceful south Cambs countryside, there’s a cute vintage Airstream van serving drinks, room for 100 under the canvas stretch tent, and absolutely cracking food from the wood-fired oven.

THE RUPERT BROOKE This much-loved Grantchester watering hole has unveiled the results of a recent refurbishment and reopened its doors to the public. The new look is fun and playful, with bright walls, colourful tapestries and quirky furniture, but the highlight is the outdoor dining experience – a stylish tipi with lights, fur blankets, candles and heaters.
