August is here, which means the opening of Carmen's Pizza I'll do a soppy post about Oscar's Pizza leaving soon, but for now join us in getting all excited about the amazing new kitchen. Guillo has worked here running the kitchen for many years and is so hard working, kind, and passionate about food. Trust us when we say you couldn't be in better hands! Tomorrow Carmen's is officially open, so come and try it out!

We have all the usual suspects for events, and something new and exciting for us...

We have been invited to be part of The Beermuda Triangle with our pals at Northstowe Tap & Social and The Handsome Prince. You pay £10 for a ticket, you can start at which ever venue you like, but if you started here, you would be taken over on a shuttle bus to Northstowe, stay for a while and be taken to the Handsome Prince. Each venue has it's own selection of amazing craft beer, and we are thrilled to be a part of the action! Link for the tickets is in our bio!

July's events are here! And what a line up we have all the usual suspects, please say you'll be there!

This is the end of an era. will be leaving at the end of this month. What a ride the last 5 years have been. We wish Oscar the best of luck with his move to Greece. We know he'll go on to great things.

So the last week of July we have some incredible food vans to feed you lovely lot. That is until August 1st when will open. The changing of the guard should be wonderfully smooth, as Oscar's head chef Guillo is opening his own pizza place names for his grandmother. Expect the same great service, and exceptional pizzas!

If you want to grab a table drop an email to [email protected] and we will book you in!

See you this evening!

Evening,

This Friday will see my first of two days in Cambridge, a historic university city world-famous for the University of Cambridge, its beautiful college buildings, and punting along the River Cam.

I’ll be visiting a number of micropubs, pubs and breweries throughout the day to see what the city has to offer.

If I’m planning to pop in and visit you, I’d really appreciate a share of this post!

Today we went to our old pal's brewery to make another beer! We always love visiting , they make sure we are well watered and fed, AND there are alpacas and goats and such next door AANNND we got to use the pressure washer! What a day!

This time we helped make a lovely west coast IPA with Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin hops. We added loads of larger malt for that crisp clean bill, as well as a few oats and chit for a roundness and a gorgeous mouthfeel. It should sit around 5.5%, we can't wait to taste it!

I think we landed on the name Beetle in a Box after a lovely story Sophie's Nan told her about an interesting character she once met, whose only friend was a beetle in a matchbox.

So, when it's ready, you can bring all your friends, and they can bring all their friends, and we'll all drink pints, or thimbles full of delicious beer!!

Ps. Please do not keep beetles in boxes, and definitely do not feed them beer.
