Pie in the sky
Fox & Hounds
This local favourite in Englefield Green is launching some delicious homemade pies, with one flavour using venison from Windsor Great Park. That’s not all: due to popular demand for their (amazing) pizzas, they are also launching a regular Non-Stop Pizza Night monthly, where diners are invited to enjoy a variety of pizza flavours (4-5) over the course of an evening, limitless in terms of slices at a cost of £20 per person. In November they will also be hosting a Fox Christmas Market inviting local Berkshire businesses to come and sell food, drink, gifts and more.
World on a plate
Unity Place
September saw the highly anticipated opening of Unity Place – a dining and entertainment
venue in the heart of Milton Keynes. An Urban Food Market will be a key attraction in the heart of Unity Place. The gastronomic destination will offer an array of innovative and diverse vendors via dishes that will rotate throughout the year, offering flavours from across the globe. Guests can expect the likes of authentic sourdough street pizza from Raffaele, fresh and healthy poke bowls, tantalising Greek souvlaki plates with homemade tzatziki from Meraki Soul Food, pasta specialties from Campione, flavour-packed burritos, bowls, tacos and quesadillas from Cantina Carnitas, and delicious and nutritious salads from Field Tray.
Just desserts
Creams Cafe
The summer is far from over yet, as the UK’s go-to dessert destination Creams Cafe is set to launch a range, featuring two nostalgic Ice Cream Floats and five fresh Bubble Teas. This series of showstoppers will let you keep the sunny vibes alive in the most refreshing of ways and will be available to enjoy in-store, on-the-go and via delivery at Creams Cafes across the UK, including in stores in Reading, Windsor, Slough and High Wycombe.
Something to take away
Atul Kochhar
Three of Atul Kochhar’s restaurants in Buckinghamshire are now serving takeaway options, offering outstanding Indian dishes to be enjoyed at home. Each of the respective restaurants’ various styles are reflected through the takeaway options, cooked in the restaurant kitchens to the same exacting standards as the dishes eaten in the restaurant, and thoughtfully packaged to make sure they’re still perfect when arriving at their final location. A selection of bundles are also offered to help customers recreate the restaurant experience from Vaasu, Hawkyns and Riwaz in the comfort of their own homes.
