About this site

eat cambridge is an independent guide to eating and drinking in Cambridge. It also keeps an archive of the Eat Cambridge food and drink festival, which ran in the city from 2013.

What this site is not

It is not the festival, and it is not run by the people who organised it. Eat Cambridge was a volunteer-run, not-for-profit festival founded in 2013 and directed for most of its life by Heidi White. This site took on the domain afterwards. Nothing here is published on the festival's behalf, no tickets are sold, and no event is being announced.

The archive draws on the festival's own programmes, on press coverage and on the material it published at the time. Where something cannot be established, it is left out, not guessed at.

What it is for

Cambridge is small, dense and unusually well supplied with independent food for its size, and most of what is written about it is written for visitors on a two-day trip. This guide is organised the way the city works instead — by where you are, what time it is and whether the students are in residence.

There are no ratings and no rankings here. Where a place is named, it is because it is a fixed part of how the city eats, not because it paid to be.

How it is written

Pages are written and checked by the publisher named below. Prices, opening hours and trading days change constantly in hospitality, so this guide deliberately avoids publishing them: it describes how parts of the city work rather than pretending to a currency it cannot maintain. Check directly with a business before relying on anything.

Illustrations generated with AI carry a visible AI mark on the image itself.
