What did you get up to?
I took my boyfriend to visit the Chequers of Orwell near Cambridge to use our voucher. We arrived early to the venue and were greeted by friendly staff. Even though the staff kindly offered to seat us at our table early, we decided to buy a drink and sit in the outside area for a little bit first where we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.
When we were ready the staff showed us to our table and gave us their set menu. I handed them our voucher, and they knew exactly what they were talking about and told us we could choose between having a starter and main, or a main and dessert included with our voucher – we opted for the starter and main as they stood out to us. For our starters I enjoyed the Vegetables Tempura, and Tyler had the Salt & Pepper Squid and King Prawns – as a vegetarian I usually end up having the same food options at pubs, so it was nice to be offered something different, and it was absolutely delicious. For the main course, I chose the Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli and Tyler had the Curry of the Day, which was a Thai Curry. As they make all their food fresh, they were able to tailor it to our desired taste and made Tyler’s curry hotter for him – which when he tried it, he said it was perfect.
We were both quite full but had a look at the dessert menu anyway, they all sounded so yummy that we decided we had to purchase one each. I had the Cappuccino Crème Brulee which was gorgeous, and Tyler had the Peacan Tart which was also delicious. Both desserts were beautifully presented, as was all our food.
Overall, this was a great experience, and I would recommend you try this location.
What did you enjoy the most?
My favourite part was the dessert, I am not usually a dessert person, but I was blown away by how good the Cappuccino Crème Brulee was and would definitely go back for more.
Top Tip
1. I would recommend saving room for dessert as they were delicious.
2. Save some time at the venue to enjoy a game of pool or darts!
3. If the sun is out, have a drink in the garden area.
