FOOD & DR INK
A MONTHLY ROUND-UP OF GASTRO GOINGS-ON AROUND CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Hotel Felix’s award-winning in-house restaurant Graffiti has relaunched its food offering under new head chef Mark Allen. Specialising in inventive, modern European cuisine, dishes include honey and soy glazed confit duck leg, and steamed salt cod and king prawn linguine. There are also classic, bistro-style dishes, like gourmet burgers, steak frites and truffle mac ’n’ cheese, plus a new bottomless brunch menu on Saturdays, and a Sunday BBQ menu. “I was tasked to come up with a new style of food for the hotel, which for many years was an à la carte menu,” explains Mark, who has been cooking professionally for more than 20 years. “We decided a modern bistro menu would suit the restaurant and guests, and we’ve had very good feedback.” He adds: “It’s important to use as many local ingredients as possible, and to make sure you cater for all, as the vegan and vegetarian options are becoming more popular.” To celebrate the new menu, the hotel is offering 10% off all food this August. hotelfelix.co.uk NEW MENU & 10% OFF AT HOTEL FELIX
Tucked behind Audley End village you’ll find Anna’s Flower Farm; a hidden haven of beautiful blooms. Ordinarily, Anna grows and sells floral arrangements for special events (and writes a monthly column for Cambridge Edition ), but this month the farm is hosting a series of special dining events, beginning on 16 August with Dinner and Jazz in the Walled Garden. A delightful eight-course meal cooked by Liz Young (ex co-owner of Cambridge Cookery School), in collaboration with Bumble & Oak, Chocolatier and SEED Ceramics, together with artisanal baker Mini Miss Bread, you can expect seasonal dishes, live jazz music and a magical setting. On 17 August, enjoy Lunch Among the Flowers; a lunchtime grill of delicious mezze dishes. On the 18th, meanwhile, there’s a chance to Picnic Among the Flowers with a luxurious home-made picnic. All events include a tour of the flower farm, and tickets can be booked via Eventbrite. annasflowerfarm.com DINE AMONG THE FLOWERS
