Pie and mash pop up restaurant at 12a club Cambridge.
Hosted by carri from pavitt pies. The pie was delish, i had a chicken and mushroom and my boyfriend had steak and ale. All ingredients being sourced locally. My only complaint was there wasn't enough gravy!
For dessert we had 3 enormous profiteroles made by don pasquale downstairs. They were really good but neither of us could finish them because of the size!
