Parker’s on the Piece al fresco dining on offer as University Arms hotel in Cambridge plans reopening
A reopening date has been set for the University Arms hotel and Parker’s Tavern restaurant and bar.
The doors will be reopened for guests and diners from July 31, but an al fresco dining option on Parker’s Piece will be created a week earlier.
Parker's on the Piece will be a new terrace for Parker’s Tavern that will offer gourmet pizza and a light bites menu that will open on July 24.
The new outdoor dining space with chef Tristan Welch at the helm, will be serve up a new pizza menu featuring nine seasonal pizza options, with signature sourdough base made in a traditional pizza oven including: Air dried ham, tomato and mozzarella, Home cured sardines, capers and wild garlic and asparagus, peas and mint.
There are also Wiltshire truffle and cream cheese or the lobster and garlic butter options, and the eco-friendly option is the Rubbish Cooks Pizza, which will depend on which ingredients Parker’s Tavern has left over or what ‘waste’ might be delivered to the restaurant by suppliers. A £1 donation will go to Jimmy’s Night Shelter for every Rubbish Cooks pizza sold.
A creative selection of quirky botanical mocktails and homemade soft whipped ice cream, with various sauces and toppings is also on offer to cool diners down.
University Arms will run an exclusive Welcome Back promotion, valid from July 31 to September 30. Marriott Bonvoy members will receive complimentary breakfast and 25 per cent off the best available rates, while non-members will receive 15 per cent off, available in all room categories.
