FOOD & DR INK
S IX AT THE VARS I T Y
For sheer wow factor, the sixth-floor restaurant at The Varsity Hotel is hard to beat. Slurp on a spiced Bloody Mary or a Breakfast Martini (with marmalade!) while you admire panoramic views of the Cambridge skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. You might even be lucky enough to snap up a seat on the balcony in summer. Either way, you’ll dine in style at this gorgeous eaterie, where the brunch menu is served on weekends until 2pm. The bestseller is the smashed avocado with poached eggs and chilli flakes on sourdough. BEST FOR: BRUNCH WITH A VIEW
PARKER’ S TAVERN The Parker’s Tavern website proclaims: ‘A good breakfast is the jewel in the crown of British feasting’. We couldn’t agree more. It’s no surprise they go to town on the brunch offering at this swanky city centre hotel, but the good news is you don’t have to be a guest to join the late-morning fun. Full English, waffles, pancakes, porridge and more can be enjoyed in the old school cool of the restaurant, with Bloody Marys and Buck’s Fizz to slake your thirst. BEST FOR: A SPECIAL OCCASION BRUNCH
RELEVANT RECORD CAFÉ Buzzing with brunchers every weekend, Relevant Records Café on Mill Road welcomes those in search of food, drink and good music. Tuck into the zingy sriracha Eggs Relevant or try the warming, chorizo-studded Mexican brekkie. Prosecco is served by the bottle or glass and, post-brunch, you can make your way downstairs and have a pootle around the retro-style record shop. BEST FOR: VINYL FANS AND ROMSEY TOWNERS
