Parker’s Tavern launches delectable

Dinky Doors collaboration

This summer, University Arms Cambridge is inviting guests to step into a world of miniature magic with the launch of an exclusive Dinky Doors Afternoon Tea at Parker’s Tavern. Translating the city’s tiniest and most whimsical landmarks into an imaginative culinary experience, the afternoon tea is designed to capture the essence of the much-loved Dinky Doors public art trail – miniature, hand-crafted doors hidden in unexpected corners across Cambridge. The collection of cakes and sweet treats created by Parker’s Tavern’s pastry team, led by head pastry chef Murat Ugur, includes the Ride and Park, a strawberry and lime tart finished with roasted kataif for a delicate crunch, and the Emailerator, a mango and passion fruit chocolate délice encased in dark chocolate. Families and groups are encouraged to continue the adventure through playful elements such as colouring maps for kids, which will turn your afternoon tea into a whole day of exploration. The Dinky Doors Parker’s Tavern Afternoon Tea runs until 4 October. Visit parkerstavern.com to learn more
