PRIVATE DINING
Formerly known as d’Arry’s, this King Street favourite may have a new name and a new look, but the popular private dining room – housed in its own building to the side of the main restaurant – remains. A large, candlelit dining table takes centre stage, surrounded by floor- to-ceiling bottles from the d’Arenberg vineyard in southern Australia (the wine of choice for many years for this restaurant). Food-wise, expect a menu of stretched sourdoughs and salads, plus large plates including salmon fillet in lemon, thyme and chilli. stolencambridge.co.uk A large, candlelit dining table takes centre stage, surrounded by floor-to- ceiling bottles from the d'Arenberg vineyard in southern Australia" STOLEN

THE UNIVERSITY ARMS
For large events, there are few halls in Cambridge that compare with the grandeur of the University Arms Ballroom. Offering sweeping views across Parker’s Piece, this light-filled space boasts huge, stained- glass windows decorated with college crests, with statement chandeliers overhead. Mahogany panelling frames the room, which is centred by an original marble fireplace. There is space for up to 180 seated guests, or it can be divided with a solid oak wall to form two separate rooms – the Crick and the Watson. Eat here, and you get a taste of Cambridge’s hottest culinary sensation: Parker’s Tavern, the University Arms in-house restaurant, presided over by chef- director Tristan Welch. Expect a fully bespoke private dining occasion, with a feast of British classics made using the finest Cambridgeshire produce. universityarms.com
