    Flavour: Artyst; The Cherry Branch; food tastings

    If you’ve ever fancied a pie at the gates of dawn (or a mean potato & leek soup), then set your bike to interstellar overdrive and head up to the recently opened Artyst on Chesterton Road, a vibrant cafe with a gastronomy dominé menu, Flavour discovers its food this week. A visit to The Cherry Branch, a community café embracing a multicultural menu in Cherry Hinton. And wine and food tastings for Christmas and beyond.
