FOOD EDITION

Coffee lovers rejoice, as local speciality coffee shop Bean Theory is putting down roots with its new permanent location on the Waresley Park Estate. Combining the best of the great outdoors with your ultimate caffeine fix, the cafe will be nestled in the estate’s stables, with a courtyard and large indoor seating area too. Alongside quality coffee made using Hone’s beans which are roasted on-site, guests can expect a mouth-watering menu of locally sourced goodies, including legendary cheese pull toasties and loaded fries. Eggs are sourced from Wood Farm, while freshly baked goods come straight from Woods Bakery and meat is sourced from Gamlingay’s Woodview Farm Shop. “We’re excited to give Bean Theory its second home at Waresley Park Estate. The estate is a community hub already with our thriving wild swimming and paddleboard sessions taking place on the lake. Plus, we’ll be opening a spa this summer for all to enjoy,” says founder Ben Griggs. “Giving Bean Theory a permanent home here extends our offering and makes Waresley an ideal spot to visit with all the family.” So, whether you’re looking for brunch, lunch or cake and coffee available all day long, try summer’s hottest new opening with Bean Theory 2.0. INTRODUCING BEAN THEORY 2.0

A residency you won’t want to miss, local pasta guru Chris Gardner will be running small menu pop-ups two or three evenings a week at Cafe Foy throughout the summer. These intimate evenings specialise in offering a small selection of delicious fresh pasta. A sample menu might include freshly baked focaccia with olives and balsamic, followed by a light and fluffy homemade gnocchi with pesto alla trapanese – a Sicilian twist on the classic pesto. Next, savour a beef cheek ragu that’s been slow-cooked for hours to lend a gorgeous, rich flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture, served with fresh tagliatelle. Meanwhile, amatriciana with rigatoni offers a luxurious Roman classic with pecorino romano and guanciale (cured pork jowl). To finish things off, what could be better than a classic tiramisu? “I am excited to be working with Cafe Foy once again; the summer is going to be filled with pasta and hopefully some sun!” enthuses Chris. “We look forward to welcoming you down for a meal.” For bookings, get in touch via cafefoy@gmail.com Gnocchi on heaven’s door
