    It's a very cute store with so many varieties of candies! The sour type is my favorite!

    Nice little shop, but some of their sweets on the shelves are past their best before date.

    Love love love. Not…read morea lot in term of grocery in this area, so then farm shop is a blessing to me. Not a fan of the co-op down the road this is the best place to get produce, eggs, meat and just about most things you can think of to fill your fridge and cupboard. The upstairs even has large freezers with ice cream and baked goods, and more meat. The people are very friendly and everything is quite affordable. I am so happy to be able to support my local farmer. They'll soon be starting a delivery service as well!

    We've just moved to the area and are here for a year without a car, so being able to walk to a shop…read morewith such variety and extremely reasonable prices is wonderful! My husband was able to find whole oats here (called Jumbo Oats) which he couldn't find in any of the major grocery stores. The meat prices are extremely good especially for being so fresh and local, and the frozen meats are a super bargain! We bought some just-picked seasonal strawberries yesterday and they were amazingly delicious. We still need to get some things at a bigger store like some familiar national/international brands or particular varieties of groceries, but Radmore Farm Shop is definitely our new place to walk for fruit, veg, and meat. It's perfect for those "What are we going to have for dinner" afternoons because I can grab meat, onions, mushrooms, and whatever veg suits and cook something up fast. We are definite fans and plan to shop here routinely while we're in town.

    Tucked away amongst a small passage of shops in a tiny alleyway linking Bridge St and Trinity St in…read morethe heart of Cambridge and accessible only by foot, this shop offers a variety of English and continental cheeses as well as other deli goods such as olives, cured meats or freshly prepared sandwiches. At first, the rustic decor, amazing aroma and friendly staff make it feel like a treasure trove to a cheeseoholic such as myself, but unfortunately that initial excitement quickly turns into disappointment. Granted, the staff are very knowledgeable about cheese, but they are less skilled at the practical side of their job, such as cutting a slice anywhere near to the weight specified by their customer or adding up prices correctly. Adding this to the rather high prices to begin with, leaves one's wallet in severe danger of starvation.

    Though a cheese shop to the casual passer by it is so much more than this!! As well as being the…read moreonly place to buy cheese from in Cambridge it has some of the best service of any cheese shop I have ever been to, the friendly staff are more than willing to engage you in cheese related conversations. When you come out you not only know you have the cheese that you went in wanting, but you also feel slightly more enlightened than before. The main reason for my continious visits are the sandwiches that they sell, put simply they are amazing - so popular that John's now purchase them to sell in their bar at lunch time!! They are sandwhiches made from the highest quality ingredients fresh just a little earlier that day. Both hot and cold sandwhiches are avaliable.

    This was the venue of choice for our extended Valentine's date. I ordered from the Valentine's set…read moremenu and opted for the seabass ceviche for a starter, and duck for a main. The seabass ceviche was really excellent. The fish tasted super fresh and was mixed with crunchy lettuce and creamy avocado which made a great contrast of textures. Even though others on the table had charcuterie and Camembert I didn't have food envy -though that's not to say I didn't snaffle bits of other people's. All delicious. The duck was beautifully cooked and very flavoursome. It came with some very tasty veg and spinach, and a veritable tower of potato. I didn't enjoy the potato tower as much as I could as it wasn't very creamy and had potato skins in it - not really my scene. Along with my meal I had a delicious bottle of red. I can't remember what it was but our waitress took the time to help us out with the wine list. The price was fairly reasonable and I was happy with the service - overall this is a great place and I'd recommend to Cambridge dwellers and visitors. One thing to note: the toilets are outside and then inside another building. Do not be alarmed if a staff member directs you to the toilet and all of a sudden you're in the street!

They had both a set menu and a standard menu to choose from. The set menu didn't particularly take my fancy so I avoided it, that was purely a personal choice though there was nothing wrong with it. For starters I shared a baked Camembert, which was served with toast, salad and an onion chutney. It was pretty good although more toast would have been appreciated. For the main course I had the fillet steak and came across one of the nicest steaks I've ever had. It took me by surprise to be honest i wasn't expecting it! The chips it came with were nothing special though. The only comment I would have is that I asked for it medium and it came way less than medium, wasn't complaining though I was very glad they did so! The whole meal came to £30-40 each including drinks which wasn't too bad at all considering we all had steak or fish. Overall I had a great time, the staff were friendly and efficient and if I could give it 4.5 I would. It falls shy of a 5 unfortunately though.

It's not an especially big store but there's a reasonable, though not huge, range of wares on display as you go in. For the tray-made chocolates the pricing is fairly straightforward- you pay depending on what size of box you want, and then they will put whichever chocolates you want in that box until it's full. Boxes are neatly presented in a box tied with a ribbon, inside a shiny bag- it's a gift ready to be given. They also do special commissions such as icing names onto chocolate figures, the usual kind of thing. Their web site gives a good idea of their range. The chocolates are quality stuff- a little bit bitter (like real chocolate should be), quite dusty, but very tasty little treats. Besides Belgian chocolate, I also love Belgian beers, and I asked in the Chocolate House whether there were any shops selling Belgian beers in Cambridge. Unbelievably, I was told the answer was 'no', when I later found out there are at least 2. Maybe there's some sort of inter-Belgian shop rivalry going on there?..
