Stickybeaks Cafe, Cambridge

There's quite a number of restaurants that I'd been meaning to write about for quite a while but never got the chance. Blog procrastinating, who would have thought... anyway here's one of them.

Looks like they print a new menu every day!
I'm very much biased in favour of independent restaurants and cafes. So when I saw Stickybeaks Cafe on The Fastest Food Blog, I had to try it out.

Sausage and butterbean casserole with apples and leek (£5)
The casserole was simple but hearty and satisfying, less a casserole and more of a soup almost, and definitely a good thing because I was suffering from a bit of a cold at the time.

SWN went for the chicken wrap which was pretty neat looking, although I didn't steal a bite to check! The salad however was quite unusual, and altogether not bad. The yoghurt sauce was a decent match with the meaty aubergine eggplant chunks, although the pomegranate didn't seem to fit in. Maybe I'm just not the biggest fan of pomegranate in dishes, as I do recall saying the same thing before here. The whole thing was topped with a dash of herbs to make a pleasant side salad.

Bang bang chicken wraps with mango and mangetout (£5) ; Roasted aubergine with pomegranate yoghurt and cherry tomatoes (£2.50)

I'd definitely come back here, mainly because the menu changes, and a changing menu is always exciting! And of course the food seems quite nice also... good for a light lunch type meal.

  2. Hi there, firstly sorry for the massive delay, I hope this isn't in vain but it serves me right for ignoring the blog for a couple of weeks.
