SAVOUR & SIP
A MONTHLY ROUND-UP OF DELICIOUS HAPPENINGS AROUND CAMBRIDGESHIRE
HEART OF THE PLATTER Now offering light bites and bar snacks throughout opening hours, The Wine Rooms on Hills Road is the perfect pit stop for post-work drinks, or after a leisurely visit to the Botanic Garden. Chef Liz Young (aka @the_modern_table ) has designed the menu to complement the venue’s extensive wine list. It features a smorgasbord of small plates, including arancini, paté, a meat platter, bresaola, rosemary potatoes and more. A vegan platter is also available, laden with vegan ‘camembert’, slow-roasted tomatoes, pickled courgette, green olive tapenade, red peppers, walnuts and sourdough. RAISE A GLASS

CUBA LIBRE Adding a dash of Latin American spirit to Cambridge’s culinary scene is Cuba Libre on Regent Street. Decked out in deep, lush greens, it’s a cosy spot to grab a bite to eat and catch live music before an afternoon of shopping or night out. The menu boasts plenty to get the mouth watering, from Amazonian-style sea bream, grilled lobster and Peruvian paella, to crispy pork belly with chorizo and beans for sharing round the table. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the anticuchos (marinated skewers) with marinade of beef heart or grilled Mexican cactus! For dessert, there’s a tropical bounty of roasted pineapple or green plantain with passion fruit sauce. REVOLUTIONARY
