After a sell-out summer pop up, chefs Alex Rushmer and Lawrence Butler are once again collaborating with the Cambridge Distillery to create a unique winter dining experience over ten nights at the Distillery’s Showroom in Grantchester.

Formerly found at The Hole in the Wall, and soon to be cooking at much-anticipated Vanderlyle on Cambridge’s Mill Road, Alex and Lawrence have created a menu inspired by the botanicals used in the Distillery’s award-winning range of gins, using the very finest seasonal ingredients.

Expect the same relaxed fine-dining experience and exquisite food which made the Hole in the Wall so universally loved – combined with the beautiful surroundings of the Distillery’s Showroom and the internationally-renowned spirits created by co-founders William and Lucy Lowe.

‘We began talking about a winter version of the pop-up as soon as the summer one was over,’ says Lawrence. ‘I’m even more excited about this one: winter is my favourite time of year to cook, and the gins' botanicals are a perfect match for bold dishes and big flavours. We’ve had a fantastic time coming up with the menu and are really excited about cooking in Grantchester again.’

Lucy Lowe of Cambridge Distillery said: “Our innovative approach to distillation focuses on capturing fresh botanicals at precisely the right time of year to create our award-winning gins - which is precisely the philosophy that Alex and Lawrence have regarding seasonal produce. Their summer Botanical Pop-Up Restaurant was absolutely sensational, and I can’t wait to see what these two talented chefs create for their next collaboration with us.”

Cambridge Distillery's Master Distiller William Lowe will be creating a matched drinks flight to complement the botanical tasting menu – this will be available to purchase on the evening.
