FOOD & DRINKCambridgeFoodie:Eatingout afterlockdownWritten by Gerla de Boerwww.gerladeboer.comwww.cambridgefoodtour.comOn 26 March, the UK went into lockdown, which had adevastating effect on many businesses, but there weresuccesses too. Some business owners decided to changetheir business model, and almost overnight, it became a hugesuccess. Independents started home deliveries, chefs preppeddate night meals, working at home, cycling and al fresco dininghas become the new thing, but nobody knows what the futurewill hold.Positive things are happening as new businesses open theirdoors. I am over the moon as I thought I only could share withyou the sad losses on the Cambridge food scene. Duringlockdown Mark Poynton, previously Restaurant Alimentum,and Gemma Whiting, the Linton Kitchen, opened doors to newventures.Mark took over the Ancient Shepherd’s in Fen Ditton, andGemma opened Barbarella Cafe in Easter Chesterton, whichis a shared pop-up cafe with the Botanica Alchemist. After therevamp, The Ancient Shepherd will open from 20 August forsit down meals. Barbarella Cafe will operate as a deli and cafeonce the storm of the pandemic has calmed down.A lot is happening on the plant side eateries of Cambridge.The street food inspired VetoMeato launched their pop-uprestaurant at Tabouche in July, which serves global classicswith far flung flavours that will excite and satisfy.Thrive has been busy converting the well-know CB1cafe inNorfolk Street since last year. This beautiful and friendly placeopened in June and aims to connect over plant-based meals,cakes, coffee and drinks.Stem and Glory have been busy bees, they’re not only movingfrom King Street to a new location, behind We Work in StationRoad, but launching a range of ready meals, recipe kits andbranded products such as drinks and cheese.Malloy’s Craft Butchery opened last year in August. It soonbecame one of the places to buy premium quality meat andWaygu. The lockdown period has seen its sales soar, and ownerMicky has cooked up some exciting ideas. At the time of writing,he is hosting his first tasting menu at the Green Dragon Pub inEast Chesterton with head chef Gavin Firth taking care of thedelicious food. On 20 August he will start his residency here onThursday, Friday and Saturday evening.Before lockdown, Andrew from Dulcedo announced that hewould be moving to Edington. Andrew is the master pâtissier inCambridge and one of the favourite stops on my food walkingtours. He is also opening a bakery at 190 Mill Road! The name isa bit of a giveaway, Eclipse Bakery, is going to be a bit less floatyas Dulcedo, edgy even. They are hoping to open in September.On offer will be delicious homemade bread, enriched pastries, aselection of dessert and deli products from local suppliers.During the lockdown, I was fortunate to trial some excellentnew products. Prepped food sent me restaurant-inspired mealsand Oreno classic Japanese Kushiyaki. Moz from Oreno tookhis inspiration from his travels in Japan and a lifelong love ofcooking. He will be adding more products to his range and willbe out and about in his van serving Cambridge.Prepped Food Company is the brainchild of Simon and Steve,who hatched the idea during their travels to Asia. Always onthe run and no time to cook, they decided it was time to createexcellent meals for the London commuters. They launched thecompany in January 2020 operating from Audley End Station.Not long after, they had to adapt their business module dueto COVID-19. The focus shifted to the consumer market, andtheir place at Audley End station is temporarily closed. Theirtasty food is prepared by Emma, who has worked for some bignames such as Angela Hartnett and Gordon Ramsey.Let’s finish with dessert! Our king of the gelato has opened hissecond shop. You can find Jack Gelato in All Saints Passagenow too. A new kid on the block is Saintly Foods and is anotherplant-based enterprise. They offer a range of delicious deepfrozendesserts, inspired by the best of British puds containingno additives, preservatives, soy or palm oil, and using naturalingredients.Stay safe and support the independents. They need you nowmore than ever!51
