LYLA’S PIZZA POP-UP
As if we needed another reason to visit the Pint Shop, the pub’s garden is now hosting a pop-up from Lyla’s, makers of mouth- watering pizzas and other Italian delicacies. The collaboration launched mid-April, with a plan to run for five weeks, and the menu is packed with delicious offerings, from Italian sausage scotch eggs to a range of perfectly crisp pizzas. The team is also launching a ‘bake at home’ pizza service soon. Keep an eye on the Instagram @lylas_pizza for more announcements.
FIN DEMAND Featured in our Ones to Watch round-up in January, Fin Boys has now opened its doors on Mill Road, selling a huge range of fresh fish, with soups, marinades, oven-ready seafood dishes and more on the menu. The business belongs to Jay Scrimshaw (of Guerrilla Kitchen fame) and Richard Stokes, the long-term chef patron of Madingley’s The Three Horseshoes. The pair are on a mission to get the public sampling new fish, sharing their wisdom on how best to prepare seafood and educating on sustainability, provenance and ‘fin to scale’ cooking. “We don’t want people to find only cod, salmon and haddock here,” says Richard. “We want to spotlight underrated sustainable species like pollack, wrasse, spider crabs, scad, pouting, dabs, megrim and whiting. Fish can be cut and prepared to order and handed to the customer with advice on how best to cook it, so overcooking and soggy fish skins will soon be a thing of the past,” he continues. “Day by day, fish is getting harder to come by, but when we get our hands on it, we need to use more of it. It’s fish – and it deserves a bit more respect. We want to champion the whole fish. We will have a recipe for every single part of the fish, from the liver to the blood, bones and even the scales.” See what you can discover by paying a visit to the shop, or order online. fin-boys.com
