s celebrated on our front cover, March has rolled around again, bringing its annual moment in the spotlight for our boys and girls in light blue who’ll be taking to the Thames to battle it out with rowers from ‘the other place’ on 29 March. After a clean sweep from Cambridge in 2019, when it triumphed in both the women’s and men’s
races (featuring a celebrity guest cameo fromOlympian James Cracknell), we’re betting Oxford will be suitably fired up this year – making for an extra fun watch for us! Turn to page 8 for tips on where to catch the action and more. Also in March, if slightly less famously, is Pie Week, which runs from the 2nd to the 8th and is the topic of our Cambridge on a Plate article this month. I’m not sure how I feel about the historic Cambridge delicacy of ‘rook pie’, but the Parker’s Tavern chicken tikka masala pie sounds absolutely delicious – find out more on page 62. For something a little healthier, chef Alex shares the recipe for his restaurant’s salad: a many-layered thing of beauty which has been known to contain more than 40 ingredients (page 60), plus we visit Hildersham to review Pear & Olive, a village pub that’s been transformed for a new era (page 70). Also in our food and drink pages this month, we meet Greg and Chris Smith, the sibling duo behind Hill St, Cambridge’s newest, and definitely swishest, chocolate shop. Selling exquisite, handcrafted confections from their pastel-pink boutique on All Saints’ Passage, the brothers have already been creating quite a buzz – turn to page 53 to read their story so far. Elsewhere this month, the city flexes its intimidatingly large brains at the Cambridge Science Festival (page 30), Thriplow lays on vintage village fete fun with its annual daffodil festival (page 23), plus there’s a chance to see the newspapers brought to life at Sunday Papers Live (page 33). Don’t miss this month’s Edition Book Club either, where we’ve got an interview with crime fiction doyenne and Cambridge resident, Sophie Hannah. Read all about
