Talking all things pub and pivot
The past year has undeniably been tough for publicans.
As Covid guidelines and restrictions have evolved many have had to explore elements such as outdoor dining, table service, food service and takeaway services for the first time. For some pub owners and operators, navigating the various lockdowns has resulted in profitable new ventures such as home delivery, eCommerce and creative uses of their brick-and-mortar premises.

Afternoon tea at Elsie May’s Electric Lounge
Elsie May’s is a family-run cafe and bar in the market town of St Neots. It is in a wonderful location just off the market square. A lovely relaxed setting, hidden from the hustle and bustle of life, it’s a perfect spot to escape to.
Masons Gin
The lovely team at Yorkshire based distillery Masons, kindly sent us a bottle of gin.
With Grub Club Cambridge over the last four years, we have sampled a number of gins and as a team, are always keen to try another one as we are working our way through the 101 Gins To Try Before You Die by Ian Buxton.
World Gin Day – Gin Review
The IVY comes to Cambridge
Grub Club Cambridge were delighted to be at the launch of the Ivy Brassiere earlier this month. It is always great to see new restaurants opening in Cambridge, offering a wonderful array for us to enjoy. The number of new openings in the city and surrounding area seems to have exploded in recent months all for the benefit of the consumers. But few have created as much anticipation as the launch of The Ivy.

Salad Days from Amy Pennington is a beautifully presented cookbook, full of 75 simple and satisfying recipes for greens, grains, proteins and more. With healthy, vibrant greens at the base of each recipe, you can add seasonal flavours to create your perfect salad bowl. Ideal for that post Christmas health kick.
