Cambridge and Newport, Essex - A weekend eating Locally!

The last two weekends we've eaten out locally, and had quite a variety of meals!

Last Saturday we revisited an old favourite, Rainbow, in Cambridge. A friendly, family run vegetarian restaurant near Kings College, serving a vast array of vegetarian foods, with plenty of vegan and gluten free options available. The vegan cheesecake, as always, was a huge hit, served with vegan ice cream.

Then on Sunday we had a vegan Mezze at The Coach and Horses pub in Newport, Essex.

What an amazing feast of food was served up! We had a large bowl of salad, a platter of humous, pitta bread, olives, sun dried tomatoes, and a bowl of chips. It was a struggle to fit it all on the table! The chef Lucy, is always happy to cater for us, and cooks up some fantastic vegan delights as long as we let her know a day or so in advance.

This weekend we decided to do some Christmas shopping in Cambridge, and then visit La Tasca for some Spanish Tapas.

I visited their website and looked at the allergy advice menu in order to ascertain which meals were vegan. This made it so much easier to order once at the restaurant. We enjoyed garlic bread, spicy roasted vegetable cassola, Patatas bravas, and a superfood salad. A very tasty meal, and a good place to visit with non vegan friends as there is something for everyone.
