For a bite to eat, Tabanco is a top-notch tapas bar serving barrelled sherries, fine wines, delicious small plates and larger Spanish-inspired feasts. Plus, you can enjoy traditional afternoon teas down the road at Harriets. Bill’s, meanwhile, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a cheerful, family- friendly setting. Style-savvy shoppers will know Green Street to be home to a clutch of great indie boutiques, including Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery, milliners Laird Hatters, and shoe shops Modish and Sundaes. There’s also premium women’s clothing on offer at Oska and Jigsaw, plus the bargains galore rails of TK Maxx to explore. Once you’re all shopped out, head to Cambridge Gin Laboratory, which offers ginthusiasts the chance to create their own gin, tasting their way through a variety of gins and distillates, tweaking their blend until they find their perfect recipe. You can also go on a boozy journey into the world of molecular mixology at an Experiential Cocktail Evening, creating basil caviar and sipping foaming Parma Violet cocktails: it’s a must-try for adventurous cocktail lovers.
