The Old Bicycle Shop

The Old Bicycle Shop is named in honour of its previous proprietor, a much-loved Cambridge institution where it was rumoured that Charles Darwin once bought a bike. Now a bar and restaurant it includes quirky interior designed to celebrate the heritage of the original shop.

They are open all day for brunch, lunch and dinner and take pride in serving fresh, locally-sourced food for all tastes. You can sit in the bar, spacious restaurant or in their pretty courtyard.

Their menu clearly marks vegan and gluten-free options. It changes with the seasons but vegan options may include smashed avocado sourdough with kidney beans and corn and almond dukkah, French toast, a Tandem platter (containing miso sweet potato, onion bhaji, sweet chilli aubergine, chickpea pancakes, BBQ cauliflower wings and butter bean and pepper hummus), orange, rocket and date couscous salad, chana masala with lime baked tofu, braised lentil and jackfruit cobbler, and raw cheesecake.
