Brix and Mortar’s Perfect Pitch EDI T ION LOVES
ecently recommended in The Times as one of the 40 best alfresco dining spots in the whole of the UK, the stunning
new outside dining space at Provenance Kitchen’s Brix and Mortar has shot to the top of our must-try list. Situated in a grassy meadow to the right of this Whittlesford restaurant’s main entrance, the focal point is a large stretch tent from Cambridge Tent Company, with the eatery’s vintage Airstream van sitting alongside and serving drinks from the hatch. The tent seats about 100 people (with space for 40 more covers in the main garden and an additional 30 in the courtyard at the rear of the restaurant), making it probably the largest capacity of any outdoor dining spot in the county. As for the food, expect a wood-fired feast in Provenance’s signature style (think chargrilled lamb with hasselback potatoes, or aged Hereford beef sirloin with fries
and green sauce), plenty of delicious fish dishes and some truly exquisite desserts. Over the next few months, there’s music in the meadow, plus some exciting collaborations – be sure to keep a close eye on Provenance’s social media pages @provenancekitchen for updates. provenancekitchen.com

LET’S GO OUTSIDE THREE MORE OUTDOOR DINING GEMS NOT TO MISS AROUND CAMBRIDGE
LIMONCELLO This much-loved Mill Road deli is known for its Italian delicacies, but did you know that it’s also got a covered courtyard out back? With Aperol Spritz and antipasti on tap, it’s the perfect spot for some alfresco indulgence.
THE WILLOW TREE Out in Bourn, The Willow Tree has a wonderful range of outdoor dining options, including a terrace and a tepee, but the jewels in the crown are the garden’s individual dining pods. Secluded in these geodesic bubbles, enjoy crowd-pleasing dishes like truffle mac and cheese and lobster linguine.
THE WATERMAN A truly all-weather beer garden, much of The Waterman’s terrace is covered and there’s ample heating to keep you nice and toasty. This Chesterton Road pub is pretty lively, so expect a cracking atmosphere, and the food is top-notch, too.
