Dear Customers,
We will be closed from 24th December for a short period to give Bridges a new look for the New Year. We will see you again Tuesday 9th January 2018 from 8:30am, when you can pop in and see our little makeover.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for your support over the year.
Love,
Chan, Meggy and the Team xxx
We are pleased to announce the winner of our seasonal veg dish competition is.....drum roll please....Claire Nellany! She has used a marrow glut to make soup, stuff marrows and a cake. And it's this beautiful cake that drew our attention and admiration.
Well done to Claire, whose fab use of excess veg, that may have ordinarily gone to waste, has won her lunch for two. The rise on that cake looks lovely! We wanted to dive right in for a slice.
We had a great time making our own creations over the Pumpkin Festival period, which was co-ordinated locally by Cambridge Sustainable Food.
Here are just a few of the dishes we served during the festival, using pumpkin and seasonal fare. We had fun getting all the staff involved this year, to create recipes based on their preferences. This resulted in a wide selection of dishes, ranging from snacks, mains, salads and desserts, as well as our popular pumpkin soup.
We hope Claire's winning creation and our pictures inspire you to make full use of this beautiful seasonal veg.
